#239 – Disney Discussions 13: Dogs! Fox And The Hound & Lady And The Tramp, With Spider-Dan & Ria

It’s all about dogs! In this episode of Disney Discussions, it was Megan’s pick, so we tackled the animated classics Fox And The Hound (1981) and Lady And The Tramp (1955)!

Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/9oJPoMQwhTs

In more detail, Megan starts by explaining why she chose these two movies, before the other 3 talk about their first memories of them. They then talk about Fox And The Hound at length, talking about it’s characters, animation and songs, before delving into Lady And The Tramp to talk about the same! They then compare the two movies in all aspects to decide which they prefer and along the way they also talk about the bad pet owners in both movies! Keep an ear out for Mike “putting his foot in it” around the 40 minute mark (all the subsequent ribbing was in jest)!
