The Disney Musical: Critical Approaches on Stage and Screen is the
first critical treatment of the corporation's hugely successful
musicals both on screen and on the stage. Its 13 articles open up a
new territory in the critical discussion of the Disney
mega-musical, its gender, sexual and racial politics, outreach work
and impact of stage, film and television adaptations. Covering
early 20th century works such as the first full-length feature film
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), to The Lion King -
Broadway's highest grossing production in history, and Frozen
(2013), this edited collection offers a diverse range of
theoretical engagements that will appeal to readers of film and
media studies, musical theatre, cultural studies, and theatre and
performance. The volume is divided into three sections to provide a
contextual analysis of Disney's most famous musicals: * DISNEY
MUSICALS: ON FILM * DISNEY ADAPTATIONS: ON STAGE AND BEYOND *
DISNEY MUSICALS: GENDER AND RACE The first section employs film
theory, semiotics and film music analysis to explore the animated
works and their links to the musical theatre genre. The second
section addresses various stage versions and considers Disney's
outreach activities, cultural value and productions outside the
Broadway theatrical arena. The final section focuses on issues of
gender and race portraying representations of race,
hetero-normativity, masculinity and femininity in Newsies, Frozen,
High School Musical, Aladdin and The Jungle Book. The various
chapters address these three aspects of the Disney Musical and
offer new critical readings of a vast range of important works from
the Disney musical cannon including Enchanted, Mary Poppins,
Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King and versions of musicals for
television in the early 1990s and 2000s. The critical readings are
detailed, open-minded and come to surprising conclusions about the
nature of the Disney Musical and its impact.
