Episode 712 - Christmas Special 2023
All About the Mouse Disney Podcast
On this week's show, we continue our tradition at All About the Mouse of celebrating Christmas with Christmas audio from the parks.

On this week's show, I'm very excited to bring back author Dave Bossert to talk about his new upcoming book "Tim Burton's The Nighmare Before Christmas Visual Companion".

On this week's show, we're taking an in-depth look at the 2001 hit Disney Pixar film "Monsters, Inc." starring the voice talents of Billy Crystal and John Goodman. This light-hearted comedy about monsters who scare children in order to collect their screams to power their city Monstropolis, started out years earlier as a discussion topic over lunch between several Pixar filmmakers during the making of Toy Story.
