Welcome to episode 125 of the Movies Past and Present podcast.

Listen to the podcast here.

Mitch and Lilly from ImagineeringDisney.com

My friends Mitch and Lilly from ImagineeringDisney.com join me on this episode to discuss the current state of Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Mitch posed an interesting question to Lilly and me a few weeks ago. He asked how we would rank the films from the last 15 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios (our rankings are listed below). I thought it would be a fun (and hopefully not too depressing) discussion to analyze the ups and downs of films over the last few years from the studio as well as talking about what we know of future films the studio currently has in production.
