Victorian Villains, Giant Animatronics, and the Great Mouse Detective with Margaret French (@margaretfrench)

The Great Mouse Detective—but make it queer, camp, and theme-park ready. This week on ReDesigning Disney, I’m joined by creator, cosplayer, and real-life princess Margaret French to reimagine Disney’s most underrated mystery. We unpack the film’s Victorian aesthetics, chaotic animation logic, and unmistakable queer subtext—then pitch attractions ranging from wall-crawling coasters to dark rides starring a King Kong–sized Toby the bloodhound. Expect big ideas, niche characters, and passionate arguments for animatronics, villain meet-and-greets, and Rattigan at Pride Night.

Pixie Dust, Tiny Worlds, and Tinker Bell (the Movie) with Tiny Mic Crew (@tinymiccrew)

What if Tinker Bell had its own immersive land? No, not the meet and greet area in Disneyland....SMH. In this episode of ReDesigning Disney, I’m joined by the creators of Tiny Mic Crew to reimagine Tinker Bell as a fully realized theme park experience built around scale, whimsy, and Pixie Hollow magic. From tiny-world dark rides to fairy-sized resorts and enchanted festival food, we dive deep into what makes the Tinker Bell universe so uniquely suited for immersive design. This episode leans cozy, creative, and detail-driven—perfect for fans who love worldbuilding, fantasy aesthetics, and the magic of feeling small in a big park. Please note: The team faced some audio difficulties for this podcast -- due to that audio quality will be inconsistent across the episode. Apologies!

Road Trips, Water Rides, and the Goofy Movie with Christopher from Failed Imagineer

What if A Goofy Movie became a full-blown theme park experience? This week on ReDesigning Disney, I’m joined by visual artist and designer Christopher Meakin, the creative mind behind Failed Imagineer. Together, we revisit A Goofy Movie and pitch bold new park ideas inspired by Max and Goofy’s chaotic road trip—from a hybrid car-to-log-flume water ride to roadside Americana attractions straight out of Lester’s Possum Park. We talk father-son dynamics, Disney Easter eggs, the magic of practical theming, and why some movies should never get a remake. It’s a nostalgic, design-forward episode packed with water ride advocacy, punk-rock Imagineering energy, and lots of love for animatronics.
