As we're looking towards August on our calendars, that means it's time to decide the final installment of our second the Summer of the Disney Renaissance! As always, we need your help to figure out the next Disney classic we'll be covering in addition to all our regular releases like Talking Simpsons, What A Cartoon, Talking Futurama, or TalKing of the Hill. Our  $10 premium podcasts can't be published without your input, and so get ready to vote on the premium podcast of August 2022.

For those of you who are new to the Talking Simpsons Patreon, WELCOME. Also, you should know that once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated feature 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 too, so those subscribers can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line!

Our next 2022 poll is the last third of our Summer of the Disney Renaissance! Just like in 2021, we're going to do a trio of What A Cartoon Movie podcasts about the late '80s to late '90s era of Disney theatrical animation, covering some of the runner-ups of previous polls!

So here are the last four Neo Disney Classics you'll be voting on:

The Rescuers Down Under (1990) - The Australian sequel that is full of famous people but is most known to animation fans for being the first one Disney colored fully digitally!

Pocahontas (1995) - Katzenberg's prestige film that is more famous for how it whiffed on a problematic story that's kinda-sorta based on history!

Mulan (1998) - The Chinese folktale is reimagined as a '90s story of gender and duty in this classic about reflections AND making a man out of you!

Tarzan (1999) - The pulp icon is reborn with the moves of Tony Hawk and the music of Phil Collins with surprisingly mature story that lives in two worlds!

So please, make your choice known before the poll closes on the night of July 7! And thanks as always for your continued support of our podcasts—we couldn't keep doing all our super-deep movie podcasts without you!

I’m picking Pocahontas purely bc I like when you talk about bad movies XD. Exasperated Bob is my favorite Bob EDIT: Switching to Mulan since it seems no one’s going for the irony pick and I genuinely adore the movie

To Boldly Joe... Moore

Picked Rescuers because it's the earliest chronologically (as per usual). Although the rest would be fun, too. Special shout-out to "Tarz-on". ^_^

slimesiren

voting for rescuers down under due to being underdiscussed and the most overlooked of the disney renaissance. but boy was i tempted to vote mulan! maybe next time around.

Galileo908

I’ll keep voting for Rescuers until it wins.

Frank Grimes

Pretty easy choice. Rescuers.

Dan Motta

Picked Mulan since it focuses on issues of identity and has a bitchin song.

Jeremiah McDonald

Rescuers. The animation blew my mind when I was a kid. There are so many show-offy shots, even Beauty and the Beast didn’t quite live up to it (in my 11 year old opinion).

April

mulan is my favourite disney movie, and id say its the true last entry of the rennaisance

F Shackleford

Rescuers DU was my first Disney film, but as a Chinese kid growing up in 90s America, I gotta go with Mulan

Patrick Bungay

Picked Mulan, first movie I seen by myself as a kid. Never been into the rescuers

Joe Hodgson

I usually pick the one I think has the most interesting development story, which here is probably Rescuers Down Under, but that was such a blink and you miss it moment that I instead went with Mulan. I think there's plenty to unpack there and it's probably the best movie of the bunch too.

Alex

Really want to hear about James Hong and his impeccable performance in Mulan.

Paul

I hope Rescuers DU wins, and it is in the lead, but nothing I've voted for has ever won so far!

Dan Rosalina

Run while you can, Henry & Bob. But one of these days you WILL see how he glitters.

Mr. Animation Enthusiast

Rescuers Down Under has no right to be good, the original was so boring and dowry and the sequel is the complete opposite. As much as I love Mulan, it's Rescuer's time to shine (both movies are top quality). Besides, there's plenty of time to praise Mulan and shit on the god-awful remake, hands down Disney's worst remake bar none!

SomeBloke

You know, I was joking earlier, but this actually is kind of difficult without the reliable Beauty and the Beast option. Going with Rescuers Down Under because I think we need to repair Americo-Australianien relations. They’re at an all-time low.

Robert Fuhroat

I feel like "Rescuers Down Under" falls into two camps for most people: never saw it or wore the VHS out. My sister and I fell firmly in the latter camp -- I think we watched it every night one summer. The world-building, action, humor, and locations are all so much better than they had any right to be. Plus, voice acting from John Candy, George C. Scott, Eva Gabor, and Bob Newhart. Let's do this!

Tyler The Destroyer

Pocahontas for the win because it’s Disney so up their own asses trying it be prestige and they totally drop the ball Almost dangerous to let under educated children to watch IMO

Seth

Yes, this is the time for Rescuers Down Under!

Blake R.

one day you'll need to put some real stinkers alongside Pocahontas to finally give that one a chance. not to suggest it ISN'T a stinker...but it's a stinker I want to hear talked about for several hours so badly

Wood Duck

I had to look up the plot of RDU and I'm baffled. Why did they put a golden eagle in Australia instead of using something like our native wedge tail eagle?

Nathanial Miller

Of course you picked mulan, how could anyone vote against mulan!? I don't care that it's my favorite disney movie. Rescuers. All the way. They deserve it damn it!

Joe Murphy

Also, I went on a tour of the Disney burbank lot and the tour guide asked what was the first Disney movie to use computer graphics. I answered The Great Mouse Detective and she told me no, that it was Rescuers Down Under…is that right?

KaiserBeamz

Rescuers Down Under because its a personal favorite and we need Bob to experience some of the best bird animation put to screen.

Tyler The Destroyer

Changed my vote to Mulan (I love all of these!) so Bob can finally see it and Henry loves it!
