This is a joyous time of year, the time of year when we celebrate the wonder of the holidays with family and friends. For those of us who remember staying up all night listening for reindeer on the roof, driving through the neighborhood looking at all the lights and decorations, or setting out that perfect dish of milk and cookies on Christmas Eve , the holidays are a magical time indeed. You might think that a trip to Florida wouldn’t be keeping in the holiday spirit (after all, it’s hard to keep a snowman comfortably chilled in the Florida sun!), but many of my fondest holiday memories have taken place at Walt Disney World, or they have at least had a Disney connection. That should come as no surprise. The holidays are a magical time, and there isn’t a more magical place than Walt Disney World. Where else can you watch snow falling—even when it’s 70 degrees outside? Where else could you enjoy a piping hot cup of cocoa under the glow of a shimmering castle? Whether you’re at the Magic Kingdom enjoying the festive decorations on Main Street, U.S.A., exploring the joy of the holidays across the globe in World Showcase, or cuddling up in front of a crackling fire at the Wilderness Lodge, experiencing the holidays at Walt Disney World is something you will never forget. It is with that spirit in mind that we present our first holiday edition of Celebrations. Join us as we explore, in true pixie-dust style, all of the magic and wonderment that comes around at this special time of year. From the parks and resorts to the special shows and fond memories, we’ll take a look at all of the things that make the holiday season such a special time of year at the most magical place on Earth. Looking ahead, we have lots more magic in store in our upcoming issues. We will have Part 2 of Lou’s interview with Richard M. Sherman, where he shares how some of the greatest songs in Disney history were created, and we’ll also take a look at tributes to closed attractions that you can find throughout the parks (and we’ll have some more surprises along the way!).

That’s one of the things that I believe offers such wonderful appeal about visiting the Disney Parks. While you may get that same type of “disconnected” feeling while lying on a beach, hiking in the mountains, or even riding your bike, nothing seems to provide such a transformation as when you take those first steps into the Magic Kingdom, walk down Sunset Boulevard, stroll the promenade of World Showcase, or explore Discovery Island at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Admit it (it’s okay, you’re among friends here); you smile just a little bit as you pass through the archway under the train tracks and step foot onto Main Street, U.S.A. It’s because you know that you will leave behind “the world of today, and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.” You get that same feeling as you leave Orlando and enter the Pacific Northwest of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge or when you journey to an African savannah at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Walt Disney World truly is a place of magic, where the ability to pass through a doorway provides a complete disconnect from

  • Disney and His Worlds
    DISNEY AND HIS WORLDS Disney and his Worlds is a thorough overview of what is by now quite a large literature on the Disney organization, in particular the theme parks and their significance for contemporary culture. The author looks at Walt Disney’s life and how his biography has been constructed; the Walt Disney Company in the years after his death; and the writings of various commentators on the Disney theme parks. He raises important issues about the parks: whether they are harbingers of postmodernism; the significance of consumption at the parks; the nature of the parks as tourism; and the representation of past and future. The discussion of theme parks is central but links with the presentation of Walt Disney’s biography and his organization by showing how central economic and business considerations have been in their development, and how the significance of these considerations is typically marginalized in order to place an emphasis on fantasy and magic. In the process, the book questions the assumption that the parks are sites of postmodern sensibility. Disney films, merchandizing and theme parks are one of the defining features of our times and one of the more effective elements in American cultural imperialism. It is impossible to imagine an encyclopedic sociology of contemporary culture that did not devote at least a chapter to Disney and his Worlds. In particular the parks are often employed as examples in areas like cultural studies, the sociology of postmodernism, tourism and leisure studies, while Walt Disney and his organization are important to the area of organization studies.

  • 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.
