Nathan and Dave return to the Illustrated Fan with a big episode celebrating the animated films of Walt Disney and reviewing the stop-motion Netflix film 'House'.
Dave and Nathan bring back Khristian Knecht from the Miyazaki episode (now a college graduate!) and each host shares their top 10 Disney animated films after they review the trippy, unsettling, quirky House, an anthology of strange tales set within the same setting.
For our Disney list, we decided to exclude the following:
* films that were essentially and primarily live-action but combined animation; Pete's Dragon, Bed-knobs and Broomsticks, Roger Rabbit would fall into this arena.
* Pixar films. We will eventually do a Pixar-centric episode later this year!
Without further ado, check out the episode and see which films Nathan, Dave and Kris chose as their favorites!

Welcome to the fourth episode of Strange Frequencies!
This series within Phantom Galaxy is hosted by Bill Van Veghel, our resident music afficianado.
With the help of guests, Bill explores the worlds where music and fiction meet, taking a look at films with musical themes, albums and artists who use their medium to tell stories and explore ideas, and that gulf in between that includes musicians turned actors and directors, soundtracks and ambient music, and much much more.
In this episode dedicated to love and the songs that honor it, Bill brings back podcaster extradoinaire Ryan Stockstad of the Macon County Movie Club to join he and Nathan as they count down their top 5 favorite love songs of all time!
Then Bill picks the romantic 2014 horror/scifi movie 'Spring' to discuss. Not all of our reviewers were smitten this time, and it makes for a fun back and forth!
Check out the episode and then head over to the Phantom Galaxy Facebook group and share your favorites!
