With this week's release of Snow White to the theaters with mixed reviews, we thought this would be a good take a look back at some of the other Walt Disney Studios films that may have not been looked on fondly. That's right! This week, we're Revisiting Disney's Live-Action Remakes. We'll discuss some of these films that have a poor reputation and, since we are The Disney Podcast of Positivity, tell you what we like about them. Maybe our thoughts will even provide you a reason to give these movies another chance or reinforce why you already love them.
Disney News Stories of the Week
Once we complete our segment Revisiting Disney's Live-Action Remakes, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share info about a couple of new Walt Disney World spaces including one that opened just this week. We also tell you about an offer that might be of interest to you if you happen to be a Disney Visa Card Member. Next, we shift to the West Coast for some long-awaited runDisney news. And we tell you about a few Disneyland dining packages for their 70th Anniversary nighttime experiences that will soon be coming your way.
