“Far away, long ago

Glowing dim as an ember

Things my heart used to know

Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December…”

• Lynn Ahrens / Stephen Flaherty

Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) has been Santa Claus for twelve years and while he loves bringing joy to the children of the world, the unending toy manufacturing, elves requiring his approval, and time spent away from his family are beginning to way him down.

Happy Thanksgiving to our American listeners; we hope you’ve had a good one!

In this week’s episode of the Once Again Podcast, hosts Ashley and Jason discuss the 1977 Walt Disney Classic, The Rescuers. Rescue Aid Society members Bernard (Bob Newhart) and Bianca (Eva Gabor) are tasked with saving lost orphan Penny (Michelle Stacy) from the clutches of the sinister Madame Medusa (Geraldine Page).

This Disney Classic also features artwork and character design from Don Bluth, which gives the film, along with its music, a different and more contemporary feel. We’re now entering the “Sad Disney” era where the film may cause viewers to catch some feels.

In our attempt to honor the late Kevin Conroy, this special episode of the Once Again Podcast will be covering 1993’s Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Hosts Ashley and Jason discuss this pinnacle of animation and how it raised the standard for not only Batman films, but movies in general.

Billionaire Bruce Wayne has been Gotham City’s dark knight for nearly a decade now. However, he will now have to deal with another vigilante (who has no quarrel with murder) as well as a former love whom nearly stopped Wayne from becoming Batman.

If you haven’t seen this movie, you need to. The animation, voice acting, music, and designs are top notch. But what is your favorite Batman movie?
