The entire first season of Prop Culture is dropping on the Disney+ streaming service starting May 1, 2020, featuring all eight episodes. The series by ABC Studios and Cinema Relics Productions and distributed by Disney+ is a documentary/docuseries featuring host and Executive Producer Dan Lanigan as he revisits popular Disney films from the perspective of learning more about the people who brought the movies to life as well as taking a closer look at the props, costumes, and other production assets, techniques and effects employed in each.
My updates on the Original Prop Blog have been sparse since the beginning of 2019, as I worked as a producer on this series and then immediately moved into my full-time role with Julien’s Auctions, so I have been very, very busy. Since my last update in early January, I have since taken on the role of Chief Operating Officer with Julien’s and I’ve also completely relocated to Los Angeles, so have had no time to publish my typical articles on the site.
Since I personally worked on Prop Culture, I, of course, wanted to update the followers of the Original Prop Blog as to it finally being made available to watch on Disney+.
Each episode features a look at one film, and below is the list of episodes:
- Season 1, Episode 1: Mary Poppins
- Season 1, Episode 2: Tron
- Season 1, Episode 3: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
