Betsy of Your Favorite Monsters","description":"COME WITH US AS WE TUMBLE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, PASS THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, ENTER THE WARDROBE, AND RIDE A TORNADO TO OZ!   It\u2019s time to cover one of my favorite subgenres: movies where people cross over into another world where they learn a lesson and meet a bunch of walking metaphors. This episode\u2019s guest host, Betsy, calls these Portal Fantasies and notes similarities to the popular anime\/manga Isekai genre, but I\u2019m afraid that those titles will mess up my search results, so I\u2019m calling them [Blank] in Wonderland Movies.   We\u2019re trying to cover some of the rarer examples of the genre \u2013 specifically Tsui Hark\u2019s Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain (1983), Vladimir Grammatikov\u2019s Mio, Min Mio (aka: Mio in the Land of Faraway, 1987), Hiroyuki Morita\u2019s The Cat Returns (2002), and Gokhan Yorgancigil\u2019s On the Count of Zero (Turkish: S\u0131f\u0131r Dedi\u011fimde, 2007) \u2013 but we can\u2019t help but also talk about popular classics, like Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Pan\u2019s Labyrinth, Spirited Away, and others.   00:00 \u2013 Intro and all the important, great movies we aren\u2019t going to cover 12:29 \u2013 Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain  34:04 \u2013 Mio, Min Mio 1:07:22 \u2013 The Cat Returns 1:29:23 \u2013 On the Count of Zero 1:47:55 \u2013 Outro and other recommendations   ","author_name":"Genre Grinder","author_url":"https:\/\/www.genregrinder.com\/","html":"
