Once Upon A Disney

Once Upon A Disney

by Andie Redwine and Larry Brenner
Season 6

Finding Nemo (2003)

Our final episode of Season 6 is a practically perfect in every way screenplay! Topics include: protagonists and deuteragonists, why this Mahnishtahnah is necessary, and a pitch from Larry that makes Andie cry!

The Rocketeer (1991)

Larry and Andie are mixed on this comic book adaptation. Topics include a tonally different mahnishtahnah, what we need from a superhero movie, and Larry's comparison of this movie to Aladdin.

DuckTales The Movie (1990)

Andie and Larry offer a lot of fixes to this TV-spinoff film. Topics include protagonist and inciting incident troubles, the need to re-introduce audiences to characters, and parallels to Aladdin.

Haunted Mansion (2003)

Of course...you can always choose...OUR WAY! Larry and Andie unravel this spooky sleeper. Topics include a functional Mahnishtahnah, MORE CONFLICT, and Andie's billion dollar idea.

Brother Bear (2003)

Andie and Larry manage their emotions to handle this spiritual Disney experience. Topics include a hard to find inciting incident, a discussion about different protagonists, and general cosmological questions.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Andie and Larry are pretty whelmed by this 1999 teen rom com by Touchstone. Topics include: the dual plot, some cringey moments by modern sensibilities, and a scene that makes Larry cry!

The Lion King 1 1/2 (2004)

Hakuna Matata! Larry and Andie take on this surreal "behind the scenequel" to The Lion King. Highlights include parallels to A Bug's Life, Timon as a father, and the inspiration for this piece.

The Happiest Millionaire (1968)

What's wrong with that? Andie and Larry do their best with this musical followup to Mary Poppins. Topics include John and Bert, television structure, and how these Sherman Brothers songs mirror Walt Disney's personal philosophy.

James and the Giant Peach (1996)

Larry and Andie take on this Roald Dahl adaptation. Topics include the classic Disney storybook opening, the dangers of too many characters, and why this movie gets unnecessarily boring.

Adventures In Babysitting (1987) with Elana Gartner

Playwright Elana Gartner joins Andie and Larry to analyze this Gen X teen comedy. Topics include an interesting mahnishtahnah, how Chris should save the day in the climax, and the best game time with Larry ever!
