Summary

Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey take listeners from this year’s stealth Muppets capsule release all the way to the projects Disney almost made — including a trilogy of dwarfs prequels and a Snow White spinoff that never saw the light of day. Along the way, they break down Toy Story’s 30th anniversary tie-ins, the first wave of holiday 2025 ornaments, and speculation out of Shanghai that Frozen 3 may center on the “wedding of the century” in Arendelle. The ultra-limited Muppets drop at Mickey’s of Glendale Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin refurb timed to Toy Story’s 30th Holiday merch highlights — from Madame Leota to a blown-glass ticket book Frozen 3 rumors teased at a Disney licensing event in China The surprising history of Snow White sequels, re-releases, and theme park lore Closing out, Jim and Lauren reflect on Disney’s long tradition of reusing, reviving, and reimagining its classics — and why some stories get told while others sit on the shelf.
