VIDEO: Watch the Debut Episode of WDWNT – Drawn From The Vault

WDWNT on August 2, 2017

Over the past decade, WDW News Today has brought you the most up to date reporting of the Disney theme parks possible. And through our signature history segment on the WDWNT podcast, Back to the Future, we have thoroughly covered the history of the parks as well. Our various news updates and shows cover current films, products and other offerings of the various parts of the Disney company. However, one major aspect of Disney we’ve often overlooked is the history of the Disney studios, and especially Feature Animation.

Today, I’m happy to formally announce our new show, Drawn from the Vault. I’ll be your host as we look into the history, production and influence of a single Disney film every episode. Join me and a cast from around WDWNT as we look into where these films came from and how they’re still impacting the parks and pop culture today. We’re planning on bringing you two episodes a month, and the show will be available as both a podcast and on our YouTube channel. The video version will include stills and clips so you can see what we’re talking about. We’ve started with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and we will work our way forward through the catalog.

These films have always been a big part of my life, and I’m excited to talk about them with you. The first episode is available now.
