Hey there Talking Simpsons Network supporters, we have a little surprise for you! If you listened to our most recent Talk To The Audience?!?! episode, we're doing the July poll  for the next subject of our premium podcast a few weeks earlier than usual.

Why? Well, we're so far ahead in podcast recordings at the moment that we actually have the time in June to not only record June's What A Cartoon Movie! podcast (Space Jam), but also to fit in the recording of our July podcast, so the sooner you help us choose it, the sooner we can record it!

If you didn't know, once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated film, exclusively for our $10 Patreon subscribers. And when we open up the voting for each month's subject, we want all the $5 subscribers to also have a chance to be heard, so those subscribers can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line!

So what will the subject of July 2020's movie be? We've celebrated so many Disney classics already, we feel it's now time to celebrate Disney's biggest flops. That's right, you'll be choosing one of Disney's four most poorly received animated films!

Your four dismal Disney choices are:

The Black Cauldron (1985), the nadir of a very dark era in Disney animation that ended up being cut to shreds by executives before it was even released!

Dinosaur (2000), the once-visually impressive but now quite bland CGI film that imagines the life of an iguanodon as the meteors start hitting!

Home on the Range (2004), once seen as the film that destroyed Disney's 2D animation, and you will believe that Roseanne can play a cow!

Treasure Planet (2002), the overly ambitious and too expensive film that mistakenly assumed that kids of the early 2000s cared about Treasure Island in Space!

So please, make your voices heard before the poll closes on the night of June 8! Thanks as always for your amazing support, and know that we're really looking forward to recording July's podcast ASAP!

MENDOZABLE

TBH Treasure Planet is the most memorable one with me and a lot of my peers

reecemysocksoff

Treasure Planet for sure! The history section alone on that one could end up as it’s own episode 😱

Frank Grimes

Wow, when you guys said early, didn't think it'd be this early...lol And I'm hoping for BC...but TP I have a soft spot for too

Thad Komorowski

Since I'm too cowardly to sit out and not vote in real life, I'll practice that here. Good luck, folks: THEY ALL SUCK.

Bradley Given

Going straight from Space Jam to one of these? Hasn’t quarantine been bad enough on you already?

Patrick Kay

A battle of the Disney-movies-from-when-I-was-a-teen-and-stopped-paying-attention. The vote is, from my understanding, whether to give you guys an ok time or a terrible time. Hopefully you'll get to all of them!

crystalhearts

Oh my god I'm thrilled about this selection

y2kpodcst

treasure planet fans now is our time

Nikumatic

As much as Treasure Planet calls, my childhood nostalgia for Prydain (THERE ARE DOZENS OF US) necessitates Black Cauldron.

Alex Irish

As much as it won’t win, Home on the Range would be an interesting pick for being the then-curtain close on Disney Animation doing in-house traditional features, and the last film to use the CAPs system. Disney had already announced their intent to end hand drawn animation as early as 2002 (when a bunch of Burbank employees were roundly laid off), and this was simply sent out to die to an audience more interested in Shrek 2 the next month

Donovan C

I would be happy with any of these tbh. They're all fascinating failures.

littleterr0r

I just recently watched Black Cauldron so that seals my vote.

Tricia

This was hard to choose, but I went with Black Cauldron because it seems like it’d be more interesting to talk about

Colton

I would genuinely love to hear what you guys think of Treasure Planet since I watched only a couple of years ago and thought it was better then I thought it be personally speaking!

The Home Video Update

Cauldron by far!!!!! Treasure is boring in the making of and BC could fill a "talking" series

Jacob Reed

Figure Black Cauldron will win, but Dinosaur is such an ugly movie I have to vote for it

Stephen C. Nedell

It would be interesting for you to look at some of the grim-dark 70s animated films like Bakshi's LOTR, Watership Down or Plague Dogs.

TheShockmaster

I've tried multiple times to find out what Dinosaurs is about (other than, y'know, Dinosaurs) but it's so generic that I literally forget it again immediately - I only remember it at all because I keep finding copies of the PS1 and Gameboy games at my local retro game store. I'm worried if we get an episode on it I'll just blank that out of my memory too!

Dylan (batmanboy11) Freitag

I'm really curious to revisit Treasure Planet personally, but I'm down for any of them honestly

SomeBloke

I think there's probably a weirdly compelling case for Home on the Range, of all things, just given it seems to have largely killed off 2D Disney, but nuts to that GIVE ME THE BLACK CAULDRON CAST.

John-Charles Holmes

As much as I'd love to see somebody... ANYBODY discuss Home on the Range, I can't say no to Treasure Planet. Its the renaissance film that was held hostage and set out to sea to die. Sure, the Martin Short robot stands out like a sore thumb but there's some real gold in this one-- especially the animated acting and relationship between Jim and Silver

Tanner Methven

I know it would be subjecting you to misery but I was really hoping Chicken Little would be on this list.

Cody C.

Have to go with Treasure Planet, the film my way too young brother attended with me and my mother who spent the whole drive back criticising why I found Martin Short’s character annoying and also non sequitur accusing me of being gay! (Close but not quite!) Black Cauldron has some cool designs but is a total slog.

Cody C.

What about that single by Johnny rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls?

Harry Thornton

Voting for Treasure Planet, because it’s way better than you guys gave it credit for.

Chris Artigas

I remember hearing the production hurdles of getting Treasure Planet made from Lindsey Ellis. Should be an interesting one

Joe Hodgson

Black Cauldron is another one of those "beautiful disaster" pieces of film. There are some fantastic sequences in that movie with imagery that is almost shocking for a Disney feature, but as a movie it's definitely not good. I think I dislike every main character in the film. It's actually a shame it's such a sore spot for Disney because The Horned King would make a great Kingdom Hearts villain.

christopher

Looking forward to hearing about whatever film wins!

Craig Sniffen

No one has ever talked about Home on the Range, cmon everyone

ToonJay723

Rooting for Treasure Planet, but if it's going to lose at least it's to Black Cauldron and not those other two.

mavrick

I always vote for the ones I know the least about, so that bob and henry can learn me good

I chose Dinosaur, because I wanted to hear how they basically ripped off Land Before Time with a bigger budget and lost. But, with Disney+, now people in my generation may be rewatching Black Cauldron for the first time. Then realizing how it lost to The Care Bears Movie when we were children.

Christopher McDougall

Even though this podcasts gives me all sorts of anxiety trying to keep up with listening to all the episodes I would actually up my patreon amount to 10 bucks for the month just to hear about The Black Cauldron. I have a soft spot for this film from my childhood and even watched it recently. No, it isn't a good film, but it's not as ho hum as some of Disney's other duds with memorable characters. I even have the first two Lloyd Alexander books that the movie is based on. (Of course I have yet to read them.)

That's funny cause I voted for Home on the Range because Bob mentioned the name once or twice on the show
