Trick-Or-Treat, dear listener! It’s Halloween, and this year we’re giving you not one, but TWO bite-sized halloween specials from yesteryear. First, a spooktacular animal adventure in ABC Weekend Special’s “Bunnicula, The Vampire Rabbit”! Then, there’s a sour-sweet blowing in Whoville, and that can only mean one thing: Halloween is Grinch Night! And we’re gonna talk about it!
This one has it all: age-appropriate scares, industrial accidents, unexpected memories, and glimpses into the commercials of the 70s and 80s! A short and sweet episode that will fill you up but won’t give you cavities!

Nation of Animation Presents:
Steamboat Willie, the iconic cartoon that launched Disney’s empire, has entered the public domain. He’s also been MURDERED! Ryan and Brooke, lifelong cartoon fans with unfulfilling day jobs, take it upon themselves to solve this unsolvable case of mouseslaughter – and their investigation will take them into a sordid, strange world of two-dimensional two-timing, cartoonish corruption, and monochrome mystery.They’ll encounter public domain figures with a potential axe to grind with Steamboat Willie, from Captain Pete to Tigger to the mythical Hercules himself. What happens to a character when they enter the public domain? What does it mean to be an intellectual property? And how could any of this be worth killing someone over? The answers may shake Ryan and Brooke’s faith in cartoons, authorship, and the public domain itself.
The Murder of Steamboat Willie is a Nation of Animation production, and is not produced, endorsed, licensed, or approved by the Walt Disney Corporation. All established characters depicted therein are in the public domain.
Written and Directed by Ryan Stevens and Brooke-Erin Smith.
Produced by Danny Mendoza

Brooke was played by Brooke-Erin Smith
Newscaster was played by Madison Hill
Captain Pete was played by Makela Yepez
Tigger was played by Freddie Powers
Disney Lawyer was played Kelsea Woods
Pinnocchio was played by John Floyd
Peter Pan was played by Clare Rollinger
