Welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJs, and your popcorn and go back to a time when all the houses were smart, the waves tsunamis, and the high school's musical.

I'm Wilfredel. And I'm Sabrina Brayne. We've got a special one today for Black History Month. We are diving right onto YouTube again, so apologies for that. But you'll understand why in a second.

1:00.1

Landing again in the Wonderful World of Disney, which is why, of course, we had to watch it on YouTube. They refuse to put these things on Disney Plus. We think it has something to do with the music or the licensing. We're trying to get an actual answer, though, because there's so many gems from the Wonderful World of Disney that we have not been able to dive into yet.
