The original content on Disney+ has been phenomenal and I always look forward to the next show being released. May 2020 is bringing several new shows to Disney+ (at least something positive about 2020, right?!?) and Prop Culture was the first to hit the line up. Before we get to my thoughts, let's take a look at what Disney+ has shared about this series.
About Prop Culture (From Disney+)
Film historian and prop collector Dan Lanigan reunites iconic Disney movie props with the filmmakers, actors, and crew who created and used them in some of Disney’s most beloved films. Throughout this journey, Dan will recover lost artifacts, visit private collections, and help restore pieces from the Walt Disney Archives to their original glory. Among the films featured this season are Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Mary Poppins, The Muppet Movie, Tron and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Prop Culture is produced by ABC Studios, a label of Disney Television Studios. The series is executive produced by Jason Henry and Dan Lanigan.

After watching the first episode of Prop Culture, I have to say the Disney nerd in my sufficiently hooked. If you are the slightest fan of Disney movies, you will cherish this inside look at rare items and behind-the-scenes stories from those connected with the film. The first episode takes a look at Mary Poppins - a household favorite for my family! Our storyteller, Dan Lanigan, takes us on a journey to track down some iconic props from the movie and tell some amazing stories at the same time. A highlight, watching Richard Sherman play the piano in Walt's office (did you know he's the only person allowed to play it?) and talk about the music behind the film. Along the way we also meet a choreographer, costume designer, and uncover many props. Listening to those connected with the movie, makes this piece of Disney history come to life in a totally new way.
I can't wait to explore more Prop Culture episodes to learn more about some of my favorite films. This is sure to be a big hit on Disney+ as it follows other popular shows like The Imagineering Story in giving us a behind-the-scenes of some Disney classics.
