BONUS: Ranking Disney Animated Feature Films (Zoya Solo Episode)

Welcome back to Act One, Take Five! This week, we have a little bonus episode for you all. Since it's December and the holidays are here, our schedules weren't aligning to where we could record together for the next month, but we still wanted to have content for you all! So, we are doing a couple of solo bonus episodes in the middle of our two pre-recorded episodes (Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick). This week was Zoya's turn to do an episode. In today's episode, I will be ranking all 61 (ish) Disney animated feature films. I've linked the template I created in this description, and I will post my final ranking on our instagram (give us a follow there to see!).  The stories never end here at Act One, Take Five.
