If you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you know full well that our hosts often worship at the altar of Menken. But we all know that when it comes to the beloved songs of Disney Renaissance, Menken is only half the story. This week we celebrate the life and work of the other half, via the documentary HOWARD. Ambitious, relentlessly hardworking, obsessively creative (and controlling), if nothing else this film proves that Disney wouldn't be where they are today if it wasn't for the words and ideas of Howard Ashman.
