My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are going to do a quick talk episode and the question is what is your favorite?00:00:25JackDisney movie what is your favorite Disney movie?00:00:30XochitlYeah, that's a hard one.00:00:32JackYeah, I'll let you jump in first.00:00:34XochitlWell, I guess Pixar was bought by Disney.00:00:40XochitlSo I'm gonna go against the grain just because so many of the classics battle it out for the first place in my heart.00:00:48XochitlAnd say.00:00:51XochitlLuca from Pixar?00:00:53XochitlIs one of my favorite.00:00:55XochitlHave you seen that one?00:00:55JackReally, no, I haven't seen it yet.00:00:58XochitlI feel like you have to see it because I love all the classics. There's so much nostalgia there. I can't just pick one.00:01:06발표자There's the new.00:01:07XochitlMovies that have come.00:01:09XochitlLuca is the first movie I saw in a long time I saw. I think it came out in like 2019 or 2020.00:01:18XochitlThat made me feel.00:01:19XochitlLike I was a child again.00:01:22XochitlIt had so much like nostalgic feel.00:01:26XochitlAnd so much like.00:01:30XochitlIt just it was a beautiful original story and it was very nostalgic and it made me feel like a child again. And it was full.00:01:36XochitlOf so.00:01:37XochitlMuch childlike wonder, and it was beautiful. I just loved it. And.00:01:44XochitlYeah, I think.00:01:48XochitlI I think that's gonna have to be my favorite for that reason.00:01:51JackOK. Well, I'm just surprised you chose. You chose a rather new movie, like Lucas pretty.00:01:52XochitlHow about you, Jeff?00:01:57XochitlI know.00:01:58JackAnd it's also maybe one of the one of the lesser known Star Movies.00:02:03XochitlNo new ones. Yeah, it's like an underrated thing, but it's beautiful. It's a beautiful movie. You have to watch.00:02:07JackRight.00:02:10발표자I think it got good.00:02:11XochitlIt but yeah.00:02:12JackReviews, you know, critics liked it. I just think it just didn't resonate with people. Probably.00:02:19JackYou know, maybe sometimes it's something as as simple as just the name. They probably looked at it. Look, they don't know what it's about. It's not, you know, it's not like Toy Story, which is a story about toys, you know, it's.00:02:31JackLike what's Luke? What is?00:02:31XochitlRight. Well.00:02:34JackA Luca. I don't know what that is. I'm not gonna, you know, watch it.00:02:38XochitlThink it was released like in a bad time like theaters had just shut down because of COVID 2 and like I believe part of the the animation and like voice acting and stuff had to be done from home because of the virus.00:02:53JackOK.00:02:54XochitlBecause I think it came out in like 2020 and it like was.00:02:57XochitlFinished. You know, they finished working on it in 2019. I'm not 100% on that, but it was something like that. So it was difficult.00:03:06JackYeah, yeah, yeah. It's a lot of stuff. Got lost in the shuffle of COVID-19. Just maybe some classics kind of slipped under the radar and people missed out on them. And so, I mean, this is good. Like, you're giving it a good endorsement here.00:03:08XochitlBut it was.00:03:24XochitlYeah, watch it.00:03:25JackAudience members check out Luca. Yeah.00:03:29XochitlYeah. How about you, Jack?00:03:31JackI'm going to go.00:03:33JackI've got a couple deep cuts here these.00:03:36JackAre I'm torn between 2:00. The first one is the black cauldron. Have you ever heard of this movie? The black cauldron?00:03:46XochitlNo, I think this is before my time, Jack.00:03:49JackThis came out in 1985.00:03:52XochitlYeah, that's like 10. That's eleven years before I was even born.00:03:57JackThis is when they used to still draw draw the uh movies. You know, they had one guy in an office drawing all the the all the, you know, pictures.00:03:57발표자OK.00:04:08발표자I don't know.00:04:10JackBut yeah, this was very much kind of like.00:04:15JackKind of like a dungeons and Dragons. Kind of a story. You know, elves and and witches. And, you know, obviously called right. And the cauldron was black as far as I remember.00:04:24발표자Right.00:04:29JackI don't really remember this movie at all, like I can't remember the story, but I it is the first movie that I ever saw in a movie theater.00:04:40JackSo 8 years old, seven or eight, and it's the first time I had ever gone to the cinema. And so that was the I, I I as soon as I walked out of that movie theater, I'm like, turned to my cousin. And I said that's my favorite movie I've ever. That's the best movie I've ever seen in my life.00:05:00JackYou know well it was.00:05:02JackThe only movie I've ever.00:05:03XochitlThat's it.00:05:03JackSeen. Yeah, in a movie theater. But yeah. But it was. It has a special place in my heart for, and it's not considered a Disney classic at all. As a matter of fact.00:05:14JackUM, it got a lot of bad press or publicity because it was said to be demonic and you know, like.00:05:24JackYou know, witches and all this. Yeah, yeah.00:05:25XochitlWitchcraft and all that.00:05:28JackAll that sort of stuff.00:05:31JackThe second one that I really enjoyed, I saw when I was in my mid 20s.00:05:37JackOur early 20s and it was called the Emperor's New Groove.00:05:42XochitlOh my God, I loved that. That was like one of my. That was my other contender for top. I was like, you know, this is my favorite. I love this one. It's updated. I was about when you were done. Just telling your second one I was gonna be. I was gonna go and be like if we can do 2 then emperors new groove is up there and it's so funny because you just said I'm for his.00:05:46JackYes, in such an underrated movie.00:05:50JackRight.00:06:01XochitlNew groove and that's definitely one of my favorites.00:06:03XochitlAlright, go ahead and explain.00:06:04JackWhy you I love it. Because it's so weird.00:06:08JackWeird. It's like it's wickedly strange, right? It's way. It's weird. Funny. It's absolutely weird. Funny. Like the there's just. It's so punchy. Like, there's so many jokes. It just one after the other. And the old lady character, the Eartha Kitt, is the voice is so.00:06:10XochitlAnything funny?00:06:26XochitlYeah, yeah.00:06:28Xochitl8-9.00:06:29JackOver the top and her like man, slave kind of guy. It's so funny.00:06:33XochitlYeah, crunch. Yeah.00:06:37XochitlIt was funny because, like I've seen, I rewatched this movie periodically. I've seen all the classics, but emperors. New groove is like on the top of.00:06:44XochitlOnes that I rewatched.00:06:47XochitlAnd it's so funny. And there's, like, so many things that as an adult, because I I saw it as a little kid, I saw this in theaters. I saw them, this new group in theaters.00:06:56XochitlThe little kid, really little kid I was.00:06:58XochitlLike less than six years.00:07:00XochitlOld when it came out.00:07:02JackThat's so funny.00:07:02XochitlAnd I found it.00:07:04XochitlTo be so funny. Yeah. And you're in your 20s. Yeah, that makes sense. I was like, I found it to be very funny.00:07:12XochitlAnd as an adult, there's so many.00:07:15XochitlThings about being.00:07:15XochitlA pick up on.00:07:18JackYeah. It's not a kids movie. I mean, it's a kids movie, but there are a lot of, like, a lot of jokes.00:07:24JackIn there for.00:07:24JackAdults see we when I saw my my roommate.00:07:28JackWas a worked for a worked for Fox.00:07:33JackOn the fox.00:07:33JackLot in Los Angeles, so she would get boxes of movies before they're released, you know, so that people could watch them. The Academy could vote. So you know, because they're some of the people in her office were Academy members.00:07:34XochitlOhh cool.00:07:50JackAnd so they get to vote for the best movies, but they don't watch the movies in the movie theater. They have to watch them at home. And at that time it was all on tapes. So she would come home with three or four brand new movies that weren't even in the theater.00:08:06JackThat and we would like watch them on TV. And so we she's like, let's watch the Emperor's new.00:08:13JackGroove and I was like.00:08:14JackWant to watch this stupid Disney movie? This is going to be ridiculous, and then we popped it in and we were just howling like it was so funny. Ohh my gosh, it's such a funny movie and I think people that don't know about it. But if you watch it, you will.00:08:18XochitlRight.00:08:24XochitlThat's fine.00:08:35JackFind it funny. It is just funny. Yeah.00:08:36XochitlYou don't like it?00:08:39XochitlIt was like on the edge of the Disney Renaissance or something like that. And it was like they gave. They greenlit it because they the studio didn't really know what to do. I read about this at some point and I, and I'm gonna misquote a lot of information because I don't remember.00:08:56XochitlIt fully what?00:08:57XochitlThey said, but it was something like they.00:09:00XochitlIt the project because the studio didn't really have a direction at the time and.00:09:08XochitlThey just went ham with it. Basically they were allowed to do all the jokes and all the crazy characters and everything and the characters are so different from any Disney.00:09:21XochitlMovie because, uh, Cisco, the Emperor is not.00:09:28XochitlReally a great guy at the beginning. He's a horrible guy. Yeah, and.00:09:32JackRight, right.00:09:35JackHe's not likeable. He's a David spade. He's the the, he's a comedian and he's a sarcastic comedian. Like, that's his whole stick. Yeah.00:09:44XochitlYeah, he's very unlikable.00:09:49XochitlAnd Isma has kind of like a.00:09:53XochitlA man, save Cronk.00:09:55XochitlAnd umm, it's just a funny kind of premise, especially if you're older and and they color out cause like, oh, is this your new one?00:10:03XochitlYou guys. Yeah, I did.00:10:05JackRight. It's like the it's like a May may December relationship you know the the old woman has this like young, you know, muscle muscular guy.00:10:12XochitlYoung guy, he was 28 years old and he's like, really muscular and young and like, it's just a funny.00:10:20XochitlIt's a funny premise because.00:10:23XochitlEverything about the movie is just like bizarre, but yeah, this is definitely one of my up there with my favorites and it's an underrated thing too.00:10:31XochitlDefinitely underrated fave.00:10:34XochitlYeah. Well, let us know. UM, what your favorite Disney movie is and give our favorite to try. I guess. Jack and I both recommend the Emperor's New Groove. I recommend Luca and Jack recommends a black coloring, which I'll have to go watch now because I honestly haven't heard of it.00:10:49XochitlSo yeah, and we will see you guys next time.00:10:54JackAlright, bye bye.Podcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-quick-tok-72-whats-your-favorite-disney-movie/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.
