Sep 04, Julie rated it it was amazing Shelves: in-the-middlefavorite-books-for-elementary-ageindiana-land-of-hoosiers. His autobiography is completely illustrated--amazing! I was completely won over by this and can not recommend it enough to kids in grades and college students and adults, too! Now it has been a few months that I have had this book in my room and decided Bill Peet: An Autobiography New Years Eve to read a few pages and while the beginning didn't automatically pull me in I figured since it has Disney related information I should stagger on. Luckily between the beautiful illustrations and the fast storytelling you can read it within a few hours. Mentioning that I love this book is Bill Peet: An Autobiography understatement in of itself and I highly recommend everyone to read it. Bill Peet wrote this book with illustrations to give the impression that this is a children's book but honestly anyone can read this book Bill Peet: An Autobiography young or old because his life story is easy to understand the illustrations capture you into the story. His name may not sound familiar because he was charged in the animation and making the storyboard which essentially is putting the animated together by illustrating scene-by- scene sequence of the film. It is not an easy job and clearly we discover that throughout his time working at the Disney Studios. I have to admit that because I accidentally flip to a wrong page and discover he wrote ton of pages on Walt Disney that for me the beginning of life from Childhood to Adulthood was boring. It felt slow pace and like it was never going to end but honestly probably I wanted to skim through that era quickly because while I didn't grow up as troubled as Bill Peet, I can relate to him in many ways in my upbringing and family life. I find it interesting how the transition between making art for fun to an actual job was a simple transition for him in America because I've learned from countless books and movies in particular for a man majoring in art was either taboo or was discourage upon because of the notion that Art is full of naked people and that it wouldn't make any stable income. While Bill Peet experience some troubled times especially starting from High-School and College, we get to see that he persevere and always found a silver lining whenever he wanted to pursue new passion. Part of the reason why I finally read this book is because I just watched an 4- Hour Documentary PBS special on Walt Disney and it was fascinating to learn new details about him, his career, and the choices he made which weren't always so perfect. I got to learn that he is human just like everyone else and that humbles me because people portray him as though he is the God Almighty and he had no faults of any kind.

  • Terror Management in Children's Media Katie English
    SCREENING THE NIGHTMARE: Terror Management in Children’s Media Katie English Abstract Producers of children’s media often aspire to create content that is both entertaining to children and meaningful to adults. This course of action has resulted in children’s literature and other media that challenge the notion of an “innocent child” audience, engaging with often unresolved themes that are more appropriate to adult society. Such instances threaten the traditional notion of purely naïve, tender childhood. This study focuses on Adventure Time, a Cartoon Network series, as a contemporary retelling of “Peter and Wendy” by J.M. Barrie. I will examine the transformation of the distinctly violent “Peter and Wendy,” a stage play (1904) turned novel (1911), into the deceivingly subdued Disney animated film adaptation Peter Pan (1953), and then into the whimsical yet ominous Adventure Time cartoon series (2010-present). It is important to consider the intersection of Adventure Time with these prior iterations of the Peter Pan story, because all of these versions expose seemingly irresolvable conflicts, such as society’s desire for continued growth and its exhaustion of the environment into a post-apocalyptic landscape. “I am like a child ready for the apocalypse.” --Jacques Derrida The Animal That Therefore I Am Introduction WHAT IS THE “TRADITIONAL” view of children’s media for viewers and critics alike childhood in children’s media? As a theme in within contemporary Western society. this paper, I would like to begin by defining it. Jacqueline Rose, in her influential critique In particular, I engage with the norm of assumptions about childhood and children’s propagated by contemporary culture, that media, and of the Peter Pan story in particular, children’s media is a political and social safe notes that children’s literature and related space.

  • Disney Movie Trivia Questions and Answers From: Conversationstartersworld.Com/Disney-Movie-Trivia
    Disney Movie Trivia Questions and Answers From: conversationstartersworld.com/disney-movie-trivia 1. What are the names of the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty? Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather The three fairies give Aurora the gift of beauty, the gift of song, and the last gift is to weaken Maleficent’s curse so that Aurora falls into a deep sleep instead of dying. Verna Felton, who is the voice of Flora, is also the voice of the fairy godmother in Cinderella. 2. Who is the only Disney villain to never actually appear onscreen in their respective Disney film? “Man” from Bambi He was voted #20 on the American Film Institute’s list of the of the 100 greatest villains (#1 is Hannibal Lecter). Man was represented in the film by a 3-note motif, which later inspired the 2-note shark theme for Jaws. “Man is in the forest” was a code phrase used by Disney’s employees when Walt Disney was coming down the hallway. 3. What are the names of the two eels who are Ursula’s sidekicks? Flotsam and Jetsam Ah Disney, look at you being educational! Flotsam is floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo (not deliberately thrown overboard). Jetsam is unwanted materials or goods that have been thrown overboard and washed ashore (deliberately thrown overboard to help lighten a ship). The two moray eels each have one yellow eye on opposite sides from each other. They are one of the few Disney villain henchmen who are not portrayed comically or as being inefficient. 4.

  • THE ANT and the ELEPHANT
    WORK LIGHT PRODUCTIONS presents THE ANT and the ELEPHANT A new musical based on the beloved children’s classic by BILL PEET From the creative team of The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley comes The Ant and the Elephant, a new family musical about the power of one ‘good deed’. From Dumbo to 101 Dalmatians, Bill Peet was one of Walt Disney's greatest storymen, responsible for illustrating, storyboarding and producing many of the greatest animated features of all time. His books have brought storytelling to children for over 40 years, and now The Ant and the Elephant, the musical, brings Peet's unique version of this Aesop fable to life on stage. Story Synopsis A tiny ant finds himself in trouble – stranded in the middle of a river clinging precariously to a blade of grass. A turtle wanders by, and although he could easily rescue the poor ant, he declines to help. The turtle soon falls into troubles of his own and just as he refused to help the ant, the turtle’s pleas for help are also ignored. And so begins a cycle of misfortune and misdeeds that is not broken until the kindly elephant arrives providing help to all in need. But the elephant has a different problem: pride, “Everyone has his troubles. Everyone but big me. I'll never get into a fix where I need help.” Sure enough, misfortune befalls the big elephant. Will anyone remember his good deeds and return the favor? The most unlikely of heroes proves that one good turn definitely deserves another.
