Demonising Disney is nothing new. Disney films have long been
synonymous with a certain conservative, patriarchal, heterosexual
ideology, occupying a centre-stage position at the heart of the
evil empire. Deconstructing Disney takes issue with knee-jerk
polarities, overturning classical oppositions and recognising that,
just as the Disney 'text' has changed, so too must the terms of
critical engagement. This book is a sharply focused deconstruction
of the political culture - and the cultural politics - of the
Disney canon in the years since the emergence of the so-called New
World Order. Eleanor Byrne and Martin McQuillan offer a critical
encounter with Disney which alternates between readings of
individual texts and wider thematic concerns such as race, gender
and sexuality, the broader context of American contemporary
culture, and the global ambitions and insularity of the last great
superpower. The movies discussed include The Little Mermaid, The
Lion King, Pocohontas, Snow White, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Dumbo,
Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, Hercules and Mulan.
