We’ve come to make the acquaintance of all different kinds of fathers presented throughout various works within Walt Disney Entertainment. There have been sterner representations, like those of Mr. Banks in the 1964 adaptation of Mary Poppins, as well as devoted doting animal dads who always put their young ones first, such as Pongo from the 1961 movie 101 Dalmatians ...

Memorial Day Weekend in the United States is often celebrated as a time marking the official return of warm-weather activities. These often include spending more time outdoors for a much-needed reprieve, getting back to backyard cookouts with friends and family, and the welcome reprisal of everyone’s favorite summer pastime—swimming.

From those loving creatures who appear in ...

With April Fool’s Day happening this Friday, it makes for the perfect opportunity to enjoy all the lighthearted banter and humorous antics all weekend long.

From humorous slapstick classics that never grow ...

Call them all Disney Princes, call them Disney heroes, I prefer to call them the Disney Dudes. These are the underrated male leads of Disney animated films that are tragically underrepresented in Disney marketing and merchandise. I have already advocated the need for Disney to publicly have an official lineup of their most marketable males to stand as role-models for ...

Walt Disney Entertainment has introduced us to characters of all kinds of personality types and interests over the years.
