A few forms of commercial recreation have been dealt with in this thesis, concentrating on the development of amusement parks, from the first pic- nic parks built by the traction companies and others in order to increase the use of their particular means of transportation through the develop- ment of traditional amusement parks which we see today on the edges of met- ropolitan areas struggling against the forces of rising property prices and declining business, to the advent of Disneyland and the beginning of a new era in the history of amusement parks - the theme parks.

Alice's Adventures in Disneyland
© Markus Lång 2006 This review was first published in Lewis Carroll Review, issue 32 (January 2006), pp. 8–12. Alice’s Adventures in Disneyland Alice in Wonderland: The Masterpiece Edition Produced by Walt Disney Adapted from the books of Lewis Carroll Production supervised by Ben Sharpsteen Musical score by Oliver Wallace Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske and Wilfred Jackson DVD video (2 disks), region 1 Video format: NTSC Audio: English (stereo and mono), French, Spanish Subtitles: English (hard of hearing) Runtime: 75'08" Buena Vista Home Entertainment 2004, $ 29.99 http://www.disneydvd.com/ alt Disney had always been interested in WLewis Carroll’s Alice books. The animat- ed feature Alice in Wonderland (1951) is his chef- d’œuvre in this respect, but he had been mak- ing Alice-entitled silent short films already in the 1920s in which live action is combined with black- and-white animation; this shows how eagerly he always wanted to transcend the inexorable bor- der between reality and fantasy. There is also a Mickey Mouse cartoon from 1936, Thru the Mirror, in which some Carrollian motives appear. These short films show that Disney was not so interested in replicating “exactically” Carroll’s story line but in examining if and how some of his ideas could be applied to animation. From the early 1930s on, the Disney cartoons developed a distinct and marked animation style, partly dictated by the demands of the animation medium: clear- cut, caricature-like characters, evenly coloured areas and black contours. When one has to draw and colour manually 24 images for a second of film, this is the easiest way to do it; and Walt Disney refined the drawing process to an indus- try, even planning his studio buildings in Burbank so that the movie in preparation could proceed as if on a conveyor belt.

ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SONIC MOVIE MEMORIES: SOUND, CHILDHOOD, and AMERICAN CINEMA Paul James Cote, Doctor of Philosoph
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SONIC MOVIE MEMORIES: SOUND, CHILDHOOD, AND AMERICAN CINEMA Paul James Cote, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jonathan Auerbach, Department of English Literature Though the trend rarely receives attention, since the 1970s many American filmmakers have been taking sound and music tropes from children’s films, television shows, and other forms of media and incorporating those sounds into films intended for adult audiences. Initially, these references might seem like regressive attempts at targeting some nostalgic desire to relive childhood. However, this dissertation asserts that these children’s sounds are instead designed to reconnect audience members with the multi-faceted fantasies and coping mechanisms that once, through children’s media, helped these audience members manage life’s anxieties. Because sound is the sense that Western audiences most associate with emotion and memory, it offers audiences immediate connection with these barely conscious longings. The first chapter turns to children’s media itself and analyzes Disney’s 1950s forays into television. The chapter argues that by selectively repurposing the gentlest sonic devices from the studio’s films, television shows like Disneyland created the studio’s signature sentimental “Disney sound.” As a result, a generation of baby boomers like Steven Spielberg comes of age and longs to recreate that comforting sound world. The second chapter thus focuses on Spielberg, who incorporates Disney music in films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). Rather than recreate Disney’s sound world, Spielberg uses this music as a springboard into a new realm I refer to as “sublime refuge” - an acoustic haven that combines overpowering sublimity and soothing comfort into one fantastical experience.

The Walt Disney Company: the Entertainment King
For the exclusive use of Y. Zhang, 2016. 9-701-035 REV: JANUARY 5, 2009 MICHAEL G. RUKSTAD DAVID COLLIS The Walt Disney Company: The Entertainment King I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse. — Walt Disney The Walt Disney Company’s rebirth under Michael Eisner was widely considered to be one of the great turnaround stories of the late twentieth century. When Eisner arrived in 1984, Disney was languishing and had narrowly avoided takeover and dismemberment. By the end of 2000, however, revenues had climbed from $1.65 billion to $25 billion, while net earnings had risen from $0.1 billion to $1.2 billion (see Exhibit 1). During those 15 years, Disney generated a 27% annual total return to shareholders.1 Analysts gave Eisner much of the credit for Disney’s resurrection. Described as “more hands on than Mother Teresa,” Eisner had a reputation for toughness.2 “If you aren’t tough,” he said, “you just don’t get quality. If you’re soft and fuzzy, like our characters, you become the skinny kid on the beach, and people in this business don't mind kicking sand in your face.”3 Disney’s later performance, however, had been well below Eisner’s 20% growth target. Return on equity which had averaged 20% through the first 10 years of the Eisner era began dropping after the ABC merger in 1996 and fell below 10% in 1999. Analysts attributed the decline to heavy investment in new enterprises (such as cruise ships and a new Anaheim theme park) and the third-place performance of the ABC television network.

Walt Disney and His Influence in the American Society.”
UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA, LETRAS Y CIENCIAS DE LA EDUCACIÓN ESCUELA DE LENGUA Y LITERATURA INGLESA “WALT DISNEY AND HIS INFLUENCE IN THE AMERICAN SOCIETY.” ABSTRACT “Walt Disney and his Influence in the American Society” is a complex topic that is explained in different aspects. All of them are based on special circumstances which are indispensable to understand the beginning, development, and success of this legendary figure. In Chapter One, there is a clear explanation of Disney´s genealogy from 1824 until 1903, his family, education, jobs, voluntary activities, personal life, some exemplifications of his first attempts at artistic talent, and his death. In Chapter Two, there are some definitions of animated cartoons. We analyze the first optical toys as a great asset in the progress of cartoons. Additionally, there is a description of some Disney´s contributions to motion pictures. In Chapter Three, there is a description of Disney´s imagination which is based on folk literature. There is an analysis relied on some of the most important Disney´s creations. In Chapter Four, there is a description of the establishment of the Disney Company in Hollywood.

The Walt Disney Company: Los Reyes Del Entretenimiento
702-S10 REV: JULIO 25,2001 MICHAEL G. RUKSTAD DAVID COLLIS The Walt Disney Company: Los reyes del entretenimiento «Sólo espero no olvidar nunca una cosa: que todo esto empezó por un ratón». Walt Disney El resurgimiento de The Walt Disney Company bajo la dirección de Michael Eisner se consideraba como una de las grandes historias de transformación de finales del siglo XX. Cuando Eisner llegó, en 1984, Disney languidecía y había escapado por poco a una adquisición y a la fragmentación. A finales del año 2000, sin embargo, los ingresos habían aumentado de 1.650 a 25.000 millones de dólares, mientras que los beneficios netos lo hacían de 100 a 1.200 millones (véase Anexo 1). Durante los primeros 15 años de Eisner, Disney generó para sus accionistas un rendimiento total anual del 27%.1 Los analistas atribuían a Eisner gran parte del mérito de la resurrección de Disney. Descrito con «más dedicación que la Madre Teresa», Eisner tenía fama de duro.2 «Si no eres duro –decía–, no consigues calidad. Si eres blando e indeciso, como nuestros personajes, te conviertes en el enclenque de la playa, y a la gente de este negocio no le importa echarte arena en la cara».3 El rendimiento de Disney en 1998 y 1999 había sido muy inferior al objetivo de crecimiento establecido por Eisner, que era del 20%. El beneficio neto sólo subió un 4% en 1998, y cayó un 28% en 1999. La rentabilidad de los recursos propios había sido de un promedio del 20% durante los diez primeros años de la era Eisner, pero empezó a decaer tras la fusión con ABC en 1996, y cayó por debajo del 10% en 1999.
