This year’s theme will be “Three Books for One Founding Father.” The featured books are: • The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin (various editions) • Ben and Me by Robert Lawson (1939, Little, Brown & Company) • Franklin: The Essential Founding Father by James Srodes (2002, Regnery Publishing, Inc.)

    Newman, S. P. (2017) Disney’s American revolution. Journal of American Studies, (doi:10.1017/S0021875817000391) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/130951/ Deposited on: 4 November 2016 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Disney’s American Revolution ABSTRACT: This essay explores Disney's representations of the American Founding in television and movie productions including ‘The Liberty Story’, 'Johnny Tremain' and 'The Swamp Fox'. It argues that despite some obvious flaws and inaccuracies Disney’s representations sometimes presented key themes (such as the role of Loyalists in a bloody civil war) more effectively than contemporary academic histories. As such these works constitute significant American Revolutionary histories produced in the 1950s and early 1960s. On the evening of Wednesday 29 May 1957 the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) televised ‘The Liberty Story’ as an episode in ‘Walt Disney’s Disneyland’ television series.1 Acting as compère Walt Disney introduced excerpts from a forthcoming live-action movie based on Esther Forbes’ novel Johnny Tremain, an animated short about a mouse who inspired Benjamin Franklin based on Robert Lawson’s novel Ben and Me, and a brief presentation by Disney himself about the plans for an American Revolutionary era-themed section of his California Disneyland theme park.2 Clearly engaged by the significance of the American War for Independence, Disney told viewers that ‘we have presented stories from the frontiers of adventure, of legend and history.

Additionally, Ijuxtapose the transformation of fiction into film with the transformation of American society taking place in the background. Thus Disney's adaptation ofa tale about the revolutionary origins of American political culture is provided an interpretation which hinges on contextualization. Since the initial Frankfurt School essays decrying the social effects ofpopular culture, a nearly unlimited array ofinterpretive strategies for addressing mass entertainment have emerged, many rather less hostile to the popular arts than the critical theory deployed by Horkheimer and Adorno in their work on the culture industry. I My approach in this essay reflects a desire, first ofall, to deal with an instance ofpopular entertainment on its own terms. It matters little whether we refer to this approach as "close reading" or as criticism which starts from the proposition that every cultural form has its own rules and they help shape the way a work acquires See for example Anthony Chase, "An Obscure Scandal ofConsciousness," Yale Journal ofLaw & the Humanities, 1(1988), 114-9 (identifying ideology, "weak-link," means ofproduction, and affinnative critiques, as well as the sociology ofculture); RobertLapsley & Michael Westlake, Film Theory: An Introduction, (Manchester 1988) (identifying
