From Disneyland to “Charlotte’s Web”: The Sherman Brothers’ Forgotten Tunes (Ep. 329)

This week on Fine Tooning, Drew Taylor and Jim Hill explore how Disney’s most beloved songwriting duo—the Sherman Brothers—found new creative life after leaving the Mouse House in 1968. From the heartfelt melodies of Snoopy Come Home to the timeless charm of Charlotte’s Web, Jim revisits how their music carried Disney’s spirit into other studios’ animated worlds.

• Drew shares highlights from the Animation Is Life event, including Q&As for ChaO and Arco

• Why TRON: Ares’s box office dip has Disney nervous

• The rise of Gabby’s Dollhouse as a Universal park franchise

• A live-action Jetsons film that’s finally moving forward—again
