The Hollywood family film is one of the most popular,
commercially-successful and culturally significant forms of mass
entertainment. This book is the first in-depth history of the
Hollywood family film, tracing its development from its beginnings
in the 1930s to its global box-office dominance today. Noel Brown
shows how, far from being an innocuous amusement for children, the
family film has always been intended for audiences of all ages and
backgrounds. He tells the story of how Hollywood's ongoing
preoccupation with breaking down the barriers that divide audiences
has resulted in some of the most successful and enduring films in
the history of popular cinema. Drawing on multiple sources and with
close analysis of a broad range of films, from such classics as
Little Women, Meet me in St Louis, King Kong, and Mary Poppins to
such modern family blockbusters as Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Toy
Story, this timely book underlines the immense cultural and
commercial importance of this neglected genre.
