Icons are a dime a dozen here at Aural Fixation (that's what we do... it's what we live for) but heroes are a different kettle of sea-witch – and they don't get more queer-oic than Howard Ashman.

For better and for worse, the animated motion pictures produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studios have profoundly shaped the media consumed by children since 1928. Like any entertainment behemoth, quality and fortune has ebbed and flowed, but it was the sheer and singular talent of one queer man that steered Disney’s legacy from their lowest trough to their highest peak.

Through a kaleidoscope of Broadway magic and animation mastery, Howard's indelible fingerprints on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin now reveal, in adulthood, tropes of the queer experience we can all understand. The ostracisation of the 'other'...  turning that otherness into a superpower... and wanting to be part of that world.

To help us navigate Howard's legacy across mermaids, beasts and magic carpets, we're joined by Daniel Lammin, a theatre director, writer and producer of Ink + Paint, a joyous podcast deep-dive into Disney's animation history.

We also want to acknowledge Don Hahn, the producer of The Lion King and Hunchback of Notre Dame, who created the two documentaries that have revived the current interest in Howard and his work – Waking Sleeping Beauty (2010) and Howard (2018).

Our big gay thanks to Anthony Garvin and the team at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney. 
 
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land this podcast episode was recorded on, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Especial dedicado a El jorobado de Notre Dame. Diana Su les platica la historia y datos curiosos de este clásico animado de Disney que estrenó en 1996. ¡Suban el volumen para disfrutar todas las canciones!

In this Showdown episode, Conor and Caroline take on the soundtracks from the two Disney musicals that launched the Revival Era of Disney animation: The Princess and the Frog and Tangled.  A Disney Legend matchup of Randy Newman and Alan Menken makes this a brutal battle, but Conor and Caroline go from songs to score and back to determine a winner. But when all is said and done will Ne-Yo’s “Never Knew I Needed” or Grace Potter’s “Something That I Want” be dubbed the champion of end credit songs? How could they possibly choose?

¡Es momento de Disney Trivia con Diana Su! ¿Pueden reconocer estas 30 bandas sonoras de películas animadas de Disney?

Ken and Gar attempt to watch with their hearts and paint with all the colours of the wind this week as they review Pocahontas (1995), a film that was once planned to be the jewel in the crown of the Disney Renaissance but for a number of reasons, fell well short. The brothers talk about this interesting, yet flawed film and try to put their finger on the factors that derailed the studio's lofty goals for their take on one of the most interesting historical figures in American history.

Featuring a cover of 'Colours of the Wind' performed by Musical Correspondent, Nicole McDonagh.

You ain’t never heard a review like this as Ken and Gar look back on Disney’s 31st animated feature film, Aladdin (1991). The brothers pay tribute to the late, great, Robin Williams, whose tour de force performance as the Genie, elevated this standard princess love story to the stuff of Disney legend!
