Podcast Episode 11: Michael Lyons and the Disney Renaissance; Favorite Songs from the Renassiance Era

The Disney Renaissance Era (1989-1999) comprises some of the most important years in The Walt Disney Company history, with commercial and critical hits starting with The Little Mermaid and ending with Tarzan. We are joined today by Michael Lyons, author of "Drawn to Greatness: Disney's Animation Renaissance," for a fascinating discussion about how the Renaissance era came to be, and the role that music played in it. We also pick just ONE song from each movie that is our favorite. It wasn't easy!
