Lyt til Hyperion Adventures Podcast: The Disney Podcast Of Positivity

Today, we are honored to be joined by an amazingly accomplished guest who has done everything from starting a conservation-focused youth organization to helping corporations with sustainability strategies. He's also a social justice advocate and an accomplished writer. And now, he's working with Disney to bring the story of the greatest king of the lions to the written page. That's right! For this week's show, we're Discussing Mufasa: The Lion King with Novelization Author Charles Orgbon III. We delve into everything from this book, adapted from the screenplay, including how he was chosen to bring these amazing characters you know and love to life. He also shares some of the symbolism and metaphors found in the story that touch on elements of social justice and conservation. It's a fascinating conversation that we know you'll love.

For this week's episode, we decided to take another look at arguably the most unique and important Disney Parks. One that maybe hasn't been our favorite over the years but that perspective may be changing. That's because Michelle dove deeply into the special parts of this park and found some really fascinating information for a segment we're calling Disney's Animal Kingdom - One Park, Many Worlds. We explore the tremendous aspects of this special park to help give you a new perspective on this special place. Who knows? After we're done, it may move up the list as one of your favorite parks just like it did for us.

With this week's release of Snow White to the theaters with mixed reviews, we thought this would be a good take a look back at some of the other Walt Disney Studios films that may have not been looked on fondly. That's right! This week, we're Revisiting Disney's Live-Action Remakes. We'll discuss some of these films that have a poor reputation and, since we are The Disney Podcast of Positivity, tell you what we like about them. Maybe our thoughts will even provide you a reason to give these movies another chance or reinforce why you already love them. Disney News Stories of the Week Once we complete our segment Revisiting Disney's Live-Action Remakes, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share info about a couple of new Walt Disney World spaces including one that opened just this week. We also tell you about an offer that might be of interest to you if you happen to be a Disney Visa Card Member. Next, we shift to the West Coast for some long-awaited runDisney news. And we tell you about a few Disneyland dining packages for their 70th Anniversary nighttime experiences that will soon be coming your way. You'll also get this week's Lin Manuel Miranda tidbit as we continue our journey through "The Year of Lin"! Certainly, that's not all.
