Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #296: Double, Double, Cauldron Trouble

The post-Walt era for the Disney animation studio was fraught with uncertainty. While the "Disney renaissance" would eventually arrive, the studio would struggle to find their footing.

Join us as we take a look at this lesser-known cult classic and the rough road it traveled that caused it to take almost 15 years to reach audiences. Plus some news and housekeeping.
