There really is so much, you can (and I did) go down lots of rabbit holes. Really enjoyed writing and researching this one.

A nice overview of the studio's history. Wikipedia couldn't have done it better.

Fantastic newsletter! I loved Disney as a child and some of the films you’ve mentioned are so iconic. It’s fascinating how Disney has changed throughout the years, with some of its older films still enjoyed by generations of fans. It’s great to see some more diversity and modern themes in Disney’s more recent contributions, too! Thank you for sharing :)
