Magic by Design
Two brothers and lifelong animation fans watch and review movies from the Disney/Pixar canon in the hopes of unearthing the secrets behind the magic. Each week, we re-watch or in some cases, experience a feature for the first time and break it down in an attempt to discover the recipe of the secret sauce. We want to find out what set these films apart for generations of children, and big children, alike. Disney Plus is now available throughout the land so it’s never been easier to watch along and join the conversation. New episodes every Monday where all magical podcasts are downloaded!
