BEYOND THE MOUSE - 2019 Year In Review

NPR Illinois | 91.9 UIS | By Brett Rutherford

Published December 31, 2019 at 12:09 PM CST

2019 is in the books and it has been just about as successful as it could have been for Disney. From the biggest movie of all time to a record-breaking haul for a studio at the box office that may never be approached again. From new parks opening to the launch of an all new streaming platform. Beyond The Mouse is here to take it all in and give the House of Mouse a thorough review!

FEATURING: Craig McFarland, Brett Rutherford & Vanessa Ferguson
