Reel Rankings: The Revival (Part 1): 2009-2012
Show Notes

Soooo... last go-around wasn't so hot. But we do, in fact, like modern Disney, as is the case with the Revival Era. Here, we discuss and rank The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, and Wreck-It Ralph. This was more of a nostalgia trip for us, considering 2010s pop culture, and it was fun to revisit.

P.S. We recorded this before the "Recession" ranking, hence why I refer to Raeley as guest.
