What A Cartoon Movie! - Treasure Planet
Added 2025-08-25 04:00:05 +0000 UTCIn the wake of other animated adventure movies failing to cause much excitement at the box office, Disney released Treasure Planet, the dream project of legendary directors John Musker and Ron Clements. And while this adaptation spins the classic novel Treasure Island into an inspired, futuristic space journey with bleeding-edge animated effects, audiences gravitated elsewhere—just as the studio was on the verge of leaving traditional theatrical animation in the past. This month on What A Cartoon Movie, join us as we make our final journey to the early '00s—of this summer, anyhow—and chart a course to Treasure Planet.

2025-09-19 20:02:14 +0000 UTCI watched this on Amazon Prime and the included IMDb trivia stated that there was a cut line indicating that between Doppler and Captain Amelia, Doppler was the one who gave birth to their children. I can't find any other source for this and since you guys never mentioned it, I'm guessing it's total bullshit.

2025-08-28 02:40:28 +0000 UTCI'll also point out here since it comes up twice in the pod: Breakfast at Tiffany's is by Deep Blue Something, not the Spin Doctors (I disagree with Bob's argument that they sound similar!). And it's not a cover, it's their original song

2025-08-26 01:02:14 +0000 UTCPlease forgive my computer pedantry but the computer alert sound is not from Windows; it's Sosumi [pronounced So Sue Me] from classic Mac OS. The name originates from the legal battles between the Beatle's Apple Corps and Apple Computer in the 80s and 90s which restricted Apple Computer's ability to ship music-related features. The short of it is that Apple's legal department thought naming the new System 7 alert sound "Chime" would be too musical and would get them in trouble with Apple Corps. Jim Reekes, the Apple developer who created the sound, was frustrated with the back-and-forth and renamed it "Sosumi." He managed to get the name past Apple Legal by claiming the word was Japanese. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sosumi is a good summary.] You can still use Sosumi today in your modern Macs and iPhones; the original System 7-era file hung on until 2020 when it was remastered and renamed "Sonumi" in 11.0 Big Sur. Incidentally, Futurama used Sosumi and the classic Mac OS bomb crash screen in Fear of a Bot Planet when the Mac computer judge crashes during the verdict.
