Disney Villains and Inspirations
00:00:53
Speaker
Now for our fun fact of the day. Let's talk about Disney villains. Many of them are inspired by real people. For instance, Ursula from The Little Mermaid was modeled after the legendary drag queen, Divine. Cruella de Vil's striking look was inspired by the glamorous and eccentric American actress Tallulah Bankhead.
00:01:16
Speaker
That leads us to the Pixar movie Up. Did you know its villain was inspired by a real-life figure from Walt Disney's past? The character's design was inspired by aviator Charles Lindbergh, but his name, Charles Muntz, closely resembles Charles Mintz, a man who caused Disney a lot of trouble.
00:01:37
Speaker
Back in 1928, Charles Mintz exploited a contract loophole to seize the rights to Disney's first character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He even took Walt Disney's animators to work for Universal, leaving Walt Disney in a tough spot.
00:01:54
Speaker
It was a happy ending, though. This setback forced Walt Disney to create a new character, and that's how Mickey Mouse was born. It worked out for Walt Disney. Mickey Mouse is pretty well known.
Songs and Comedy Films Discussion

Speaker
All right, let's jump into a quick round of This or That based on today's theme.
00:02:14
Speaker
Okay, This or That, 80s songs, Word Up by Cameo or Straight Up by Paula Abdul. Ooh, these are two great songs, but I have to go Word Up by Cameo.
00:02:28
Speaker
More specifically, I love the Little Mix version, Word Up. Okay. Yes. I feel like there have been a lot of covers. Yeah. It's good workout song. I know. i feel like I want to go back to the 80s and like put on an 80s workout outfit and like, you know, my leotard and like leggings and do a workout to Word Up by Cameo. Sorry, Paula Abdul, but I've got to go with Word Up.
00:02:53
Speaker
Okay, this or that, comedy films, Knocked Up or The Breakup. I think I'd have to go with the breakup. I feel like that's more my sense of humor, but there's just so many funny things in that movie, especially like the little acapella group thing is hilarious.
00:03:12
Speaker
I got to go with Knocked Up. I don't know. Maybe that's my more my humor. I just remember that I laughed so much during that movie. so I mean, Seth Rogen's crushing it now.

Trivia Answers and Explanations
00:07:38
Speaker
Alright, let's get into the answers. Question number one. What animated character is known for his catchphrase, what's up doc? The answer is Bugs Bunny.
00:07:50
Speaker
And here's a fun fact. The animator who used the phrase for Bugs Bunny was from Texas. The term doc was popular slang in that state and people commonly used it the same as dude or buddy.
00:08:05

00:08:40
Speaker
Was it A, Amazon, B, PayPal, or C, Netflix? And the answer is Amazon. Apparently, Jeff Bezos' lawyer said it sounded like cadaver over the phone, so he ended up changing it to Amazon because nobody wants a company name to sound like a dead body. I think he made the right choice. yeah Question number four.

Speaker
If you ask the bartender for a martini straight up, what are you asking for? Is it A, chilled with no ice, B, chilled with ice, or C, not chilled with no ice?

And the answer is Miracle on Ice. The U.S. team was made up entirely of amateur and collegiate players with an average age of 21, while the Soviet team had won nearly every major tournament for the previous two decades.
00:11:00
Speaker
So it was a good upset for the U.S. Yeah. Yeah. Question number eight. Featuring the songs Forever and Always and I'm Gonna Get You Good, what singer's 2002 album Up had a red pop version and a green country version?
