Welcome back to another edition of The Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill.

It's me, Lentesta, and this is our show for the week of Shimmer's Day, March 6th, 2023.

On the show today, news, listener questions, and more than in our main segment, Jim finishes up the

history of Disney using Walt's image in the parks. Let's get started by bringing in the man who says

it takes a lot of nerve to call him honey if you're about to tell him you shrunk the children.

It's Mr. Jim Hill. Jim, how's it going? It's going well, Lent. And quick aside, of course,

to the Honey I shrunk franchise at the company. But there was this amazing article after the first

film came out, I want to say in the summer of 89, where it listed all of the possible titles

that Disney had trademarked for follow ups. So there was Honey I Xerox, the kids. Honey,

I sent the kids to the moon. And by personal favorite, honey, I traded brains with the dog.

You know, I'd like to point out of those three titles, none of them are mutually exclusive.

Well, there we go. Wow. Double feature here, Jim. Double feature.

Wow. I will have to circle back to the Honey I Shrunk TV series to see if any of those I do.

I mean, it ran for three seasons. Yeah, you think that at some point they're like, okay,

who's got what for ideas? I know. There we go. There we go. So I can imagine, like,

like take a show that's been on forever, like Grey's Anatomy, right? The writers have to come into

that room every week going, we've done this for, how many was it, 20 seasons? We've done

400 episodes. Every possible idea has got to have been exhausted. Like, I haven't seen Grey's Anatomy.

But if they haven't done a dream sequence episode or a musical number by now, I would be shocked.

Imagine sitting there in the room. It's like, okay, what operation haven't we done? Exactly.

The New England Journal of Medicine is required reading just for the unusual stuff that comes up.

Hey, look, somebody did a tricky out of me while doing a headstand. That's our sweeps episode.
