Nick looks back, talks about, and plays some very funny "Saturday Night Live" sketches that satirize the films and culture of the Disney empire. From hilarious takedowns of "Frozen 2" and "Mary Poppins," to great sight gags involving the flying carpet rides in "Aladdin," and the underwater antics in "The Little Mermaid," nothing is off limits here. Cliches are parodied, underlying sexual themes are exposed, and real news from the real world creep into the fantasies (like Osama Bin Laden's dead body, sexually transmitted diseases, physical biases, and more). Even Bravo's "Real Housewives" show up. This episode features hysterical work from people like Tina Fey, Kate McKinnon, Anne Hathaway, Bill Hader, Gerard Butler, Lindsay Lohan, and Adam Driver. Disney has been a target many, many times on SNL over the years, and these are some of the best examples of that. [Ep57]
