Both a fascinating account of Walt Disney's own significant
artistic creations, from the iconic Mickey Mouse to the
groundbreaking Snow White in 1937, and an insightful history of the
hugely successful entertainment behemoth he created, from Dumbo to
Pixar's Toy Story, as well as the hugely popular theme parks. But
Disney's dark side is also explored: his disputed parentage;
industrial disputes; his work for the FBI; and his anti-Communist
and allegedly racist and antisemitic views. The company Disney
built is today stronger than ever, encompassing not only the
ongoing legacy of Disney animation, but also acting as the guardian
of other well-loved creative endeavours, such as Pixar, The
Muppets, Marvel Comics and now Star Wars. Sections include 'Before
Mickey: The Road to the Mouse House', covering from 1901 to 1945 -
the creation of Mickey Mouse, the creation of the world's first
full-length animated feature film, the Golden Age of animation and
Disney's help for the American war effort, despite labour disputes;
'Disney Studios: The Disney Genius' - difficult times, theme parks
and television, live-action movies, including Mary Poppins;
'Animation's Second Coming', from the Lady and the Tramp to The
Sword in the Stone, and Walt Disney's death; 'After Walt: The
Disney Legacy' - family attempts to keep the studio afloat, decline
and the loss of lustre in the 1970s and 1980s; 'Disney Resurgent' -
a triumphant rebirth under new management with Who Framed Roger
Rabbit? The Lion King and other blockbuster hits; 'From Eisner to
Iger' - the corporate battle for the soul of Disney; 'Disney Goes
Digital' - from Pixar to Star Wars, via Marvel Comics and The
Muppets, Disney buyy up other studios, themselves often enough
inspired by the original.
