Swing into action with this week’s episode of The Jamie and Steven Show as we explore Disney’s Tarzan, the film that marked the end of the Disney Renaissance era, and our last episode of this season!Join us as we delve into the lush jungles of animation history, where groundbreaking techniques met heartfelt storytelling. Jamie’s sister Holly returns as our guest, attempting some impressions of the characters from Tarzan, as well as joining in on the singing, much to Steven’s delight…

Innovative deep canvas technology was created during production of Tarzan that brought the jungle to life, allowing Tarzan to glide seamlessly through the trees like never before. We’ll chat about the film’s powerful soundtrack, featuring the unforgettable music and vocals of Phil Collins, whose songs like "You'll Be in My Heart" helped define the emotional core of the film.

We’ll also discuss the dynamic character development of Tarzan and Jane, the film’s approach to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic tale, and how it compares with Disney’s earlier successes. Plus, we reflect on how Tarzan signalled a shift in Disney’s animated narratives as the studio moved into the 2000s.

As always, expect fun facts, behind-the-scenes stories, and our candid thoughts on where Tarzan fits within Disney’s storied history. Don’t forget to follow us on Threads and Instagram @thejamieandstevenshow for more Disney magic!

This week’s episode we are back with the 33rd animated classic, Disney’s Pocahontas. A controversial one for many, which we talk about in detail, with plenty of behind the scenes that may have a bit of drama. Jeffrey Katzenberg is no longer at Disney, and Michael Eisner is trying to run everything all on his own. Is Pocahontas the beginning of the end for Disney’s run of hits?

Holly is back! We recorded this episode late last year while Steven was away to Disneyland Paris. Holly and Jamie have had to watch A Goofy Movie many many times over the last 9 years because of their children who LOVE this film. It’s a 90s classic with great tunes and a heartwarming story about the relationship between a parent and their child.
