Hey there, Cassettes! As we continue with June Tunes, we thought we might do a short episode on a classic made-for-TV musical from 1989: Polly!
This film was an episode of The Magical World of Disney and it truly made a lasting impression on fans, despite the fact that Disney has not made it readily available. It's a musical adaptation of the novel Pollyanna and is set in Alabama in 1955.
Here is a link to the film on YouTube if you'd like to give it a watch!!

Come on, Cassettes, why don't we paint the town? This week, we're releasing part 1 of our two-part episode on Chicago, the Oscar-winning movie musical from 2002!
Based on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, Chicago is an endlessly entertaining satire that highlights the problem with celebrity worship and corruption in the criminal justice system. It’s packed with musical numbers inspired by vaudeville and the music of the jazz age, performed by an incredibly talented cast that seemed to fit their roles like a glove.
This episode focuses on the real-life history behind the play that became a musical, that eventually became a hit film!

Hey there, Cassettes! Like all good things, Animation April must come to an end. But before we close the case on this month, we have one last episode for you.
This week, we decided to look into the history of women in animation. Over the past five years, we have done so many episodes about animation. But after a while we noticed that we hardly ever heard about the female pioneers of the medium. After a little research, we discovered that women have been part of animation from the very beginning, and we wanted to tell some of their stories.
As always, thanks for listening to our little show. It means a lot that you're willing to spend your time hanging out with us. Make sure to check out our website https://www.blackcasediaries.com/ for more info about this episode or any other that we have released.
Thanks!
