2019 Episode 4 -- Villains in Children's Animated Movies, with special guest Dr. Tom Clark
Why are villains in children's movies changing? Some recent kids movies have villains who are redeemed in the end, while others have no villain at all. I talk about this with my special guest this episode is Dr. Tom Clark, mathematics professor at Dordt University. (He and I both have young children, so we are well-versed in contemporary kids' movie fare.) Our conversation ranges from Toy Story 4, to Coco, to Frozen, to Ratatouille and Inside Out. SPOILER ALERT: we will assume that you are okay with us discussing the entirety of those movies, including the ending.
