The single most illuminating work on America and the movies (The Kansas City Star) the story of how a shy boy from Chicago crashed Hollywood and created the worlds first multimedia entertainment empire--one that shapes American popular culture to this day. When Walter Elias Disney moved to Hollywood in 1923, the twenty-one-year-old cartoonist seemed an unlikely businessman--and yet within less than two decades, hed transformed his small animation studio into one of the most successful and beloved brands of the twentieth century. But behind Disneys boisterous entrepreneurial imagination and iconic characters lay regressive cultural attitudes that, as The Walt Disney Companys influence grew, began to not simply reflect the values of midcentury America but actually shape the countrys character. Lauded as one of the best studies ever done on American popular culture (Stephen J. Whitfield, Professor of American Civilization at Brandeis University), Richard Schickels The Disney Version explores Walt Disneys extraordinary entrepreneurial success, his fascinatingly complex character, and--decades after his death--his lasting legacy on America.
