Fair warning: I didn’t watch that whole clip, so I have no idea what you might see. Then again, it’s not really my nostalgia as I’d never heard of the television show Camp Candy until Michial mentioned it on the show.

This block of syndicated programming, which aired nationwide and in countries across the world, became the touchstone of an entire generation of kids. So entrenched are these adventures in the collective subconscious that today you could approach most people ages 20 to 30-something and—even if they’re not a huge Disney fan—find they can instantly summon up a trademark DuckTales “woo-hoo!” – Brittany Bell
That ‘91-’92 two hour block of afternoon television: Ducktails, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, TailSpin, and Darkwing Duck, may have been the peak of civilization. History will be the judge, I guess.
*Update 4/2/2020* Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers was originally meant to be a The Rescuers spin-off television show. This might be part of why The Rescuers Down Under feels closer to Rescue Rangers than The Rescuers, but it could also be that they were both developing in the same era and shared common influences.

Michial and I sometimes talk about package films, parts of the movies that were cut up and repackaged by Disney. This must have been one of the first, and one that Michial was familiar with, 1958’s From All Of Us To All Of You. It features Jimmy Cricket in the segue sequences, as well as the snow and ice scene from Bambi.

Michial and I sometimes talk about parts of the movies that were cut up and repackaged. This was one such package that I watched regularly.
So far the memories from this special that we mentioned in the show have included:
-
The twitterpated scene from Bambi cut to Stevie Wonder’s I Just Called To Say I Love You. (Although I think I was conflating it in my mind with the Lionel Richie’s Hello which is a little later in the program)
-
The animation from All The Cats Join In with the music replaced by Stray Cats’ Rock This Town.
-
Ludwig Von Drake hosts
