(The ThawedCast) Episode 43 of the ThawedCast brings you Philip and Cara's review and discussion of Pixar Animation's 'Coco' (2017), directed by Lee Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina. Disney/Pixar's 19th feature film, 'Coco' stars a young boy who refuses the family tradition of becoming a shoemaker in favor of a career in music. Forbidden from playing music by his family, Miguel is cursed while attempting to steal a guitar to use during the Día de Muertos festival, leaving him stranded in the Land of the Dead.

(The ThawedCast) Philip Ehlke and Cara Deptula discuss one of the most creative films ever put to screen in their review of 'Spirited Away,' the 2001 Oscar-winning film from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. This film transports its audience into a world of magic, spirits, and some of the surprisingly mundane--but nonetheless vividly imaginative--undertakings of the spirit realm's residents. Ten-year-old Chihiro is despondent over having to uproot her big-city life. En route to her new home, she and her parents happen upon a mysterious abandoned theme park containing an enchanted bathhouse. Chihiro is suddenly swept into an unimaginable adventure in which the fate of hers and her parents' souls are at stake.  Visit www.thawedcast.com.

(The ThawedCast) Dawson and Philip review Todd Phillips' 'Joker' from Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics. This dark take on the infamous Batman villain, brilliantly portrayed here by Joaquin Phoenix, provides an unseen facet of the Joker in its focus on poverty and mental illness. Arthur Fleck is a bumbling clown-for-hire with a traumatic childhood and a miserable home life. Fleck finds agency in embracing his darkest tendencies while his bitterness consumes him. Sacrificing his humanity for a twisted sense of purpose, the Joker is born. Visit www.thawedcast.com.

(The ThawedCast) The ThawedCast: Conversations About Animation ventures back into the magical world of Jim Henson as Philip Ehlke and Cara Deptula review 'Labyrinth' from 1986. The film stars Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie and Brian Henson and is Jim Henson's feature directorial follow-up to 'The Dark Crystal' (1982).  This musical fable combines a brilliant soundtrack, puppetry, and animatronics with breakthrough performances, culminating in a true cult classic.

(The ThawedCast) Philip, Jodi and Hannah talk the latest film from DreamWorks Animation, 'Abominable.' Written and directed by Jill Culton and co-directed by Todd Wilderman, the film follows Yi, a girl who finds a yeti hiding on her apartment rooftop. With the help of her friends Peng and Jin, Yi attempts to guide "Everest" back home to the Himalayas, fulfilling a lifelong dream of journeying across China in the process.

(The ThawedCast) The ThawedCast returns to explore the latest trailer for Disney Animation's 'Frozen II.' Arendelle faces a massive threat from a mysterious force. How do our heroes hope to face down the terror that awaits in the forbidden lands to the north? Will Elsa's power consume her? Will Anna gain powers to help in the fight?

(The ThawedCast) Episode 37 of the ThawedCast journeys to the mystical world of The Dark Crystal (1982) as Philip Ehlke and Cara Deptula discuss this passion-fueled fantasy epic from Jim Henson. While not as commercially successful as Henson's endeavors concerning Muppets, The Dark Crystal is an intriguing attempt at using the skills and technology of the Muppeteers to tell a story purely through lifelike, intricately cafted characters, creating a truly one-of-a-kind (until 2019's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) and unforgettable experience.  Visit www.thawedcast.com.
