Linguistic Study of the Magic in Disney Lyrics
Full text linkSince 1994, and for the first time in Spain, the Disney dealer Buenavista Pictures has been providing the videotapes Welcome to Disney Classics. They contain the original versions with subtitles in English. This paper focuses on forty-seven songs from sixteen Disney animated films and analyses them from the perspective of English discourse. The choice of songs under analysis was unsystematic. When the project of this study was begun, there were sixteen issues available. This researcher considers that the material - both in quantity and quality - is highly significant and represents the development of Disney lyrics from their beginnings to this day. The words of these songs are, according to this researcher, a unique source of magic inspiration. They bring hope, fantasy and patterns of behaviour to children and teenagers, as well as humour and entertainment to adults. This collection of the most famous songs conveys an image of the man - Walt Disney, whom many consider as el "Mago de las cintas de los dibujos animados" (Universitas 1949: 395-405) or el "Mago de Burbank" (Fonte & Mataix, 2000) - and whose films have had an incalculable influence on our generations (1937-1996), merchandising and culture. Disney Lyrics are "magic words" that continue to attract, astonish or enchant the audience

Walt Disney Fun-To-Read Library, Volume 14
No full textMickey Mouse and Donald Duck go camping, and Donald is definitely not easy with the experience. He cannot sleep because he is afraid, and he ends up crying Wolf (note: not out of the usual Aesopic desire to fool people but out of fear). After checking things out twice, Mickey declares that he simply will not get up and leave the tent again no matter what Donald cries. Then of course a wolf does come! This adaptation of Aesop is better than the usual for Disney, I would say.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First printingWalt Disney Studio
Disney pluralism: beyond Disney-formalism [Keynote speaker]
No full text‘Disney’, in its many forms, is a pervasive presence within popular culture – and has been so for several decades. In popular discourse, ‘Disney’ serves as a potent shorthand, conjuring thoughts of fantastical theme parks, (conservative, American) family values, and animated film. However, ‘Disney’ is much more than the sum of this reductive equation. Given the nebulousness of ‘Disney’ as an object of study, therefore, a frequent strategy in scholarly discourse – in an attempt to make this subject more manageable at shorter word lengths - is to prioritise one aspect of ‘Disney’. This is a strategy that I have employed on several occasions: in my journal articles ‘Disney-Formalism: Rethinking “Classic” Disney’ (2010), ‘Neo-Disney: Recent Developments in Disney Feature Animation’ (2010), in my book chapter ‘Developments in Peplum Filmmaking: Disney’s Hercules’ (2011) and in my book Demystifying Disney: A History of Disney Feature Animation (2011). Reflecting on this pan-and-scan, cropped, and zoomed approach to ‘Disney’ scholarship, which arguably does produce meaningful and useful results, I find myself wishing to redraw the boundaries: ‘but, there is more’. Starting with this proposition in mind, this chapter will consider the plurality of ‘Disney’, and, partly through an interrogation of my own earlier work, seek to present a model of ‘Disney’ analysis that confronts this unwieldy pluralism
Disney-Formalism: Rethinking ‘Classic Disney’
No full text With the release of The Princess and the Frog (Ron Clements and John Musker, 2009) the phrase ‘Classic Disney’ has re-entered popular discussion. Unfortunately, the concept of ‘Classic Disney’ has evolved in recent years, developing from a seemingly straightforward term featured in numerous discussions of Disney, to one which lacks the specificity required to support ‘shorthand’ critical engagement with the studio’s animated features. This article develops the neologism ‘Disney-Formalism’ as a potential alternative to the term ‘Classic Disney’, referring to the formation, and continuation, of the aesthetic style forged in the films Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (David Hand, 1937), Pinocchio (Ben Sharpsteen et al., 1940), Dumbo (Ben Sharpsteen, 1941), and Bambi (David Hand, 1942). </jats:p
"What's in a Theme Park? Exploring the frontiers of Euro Disney"
Full text link1992 was the year of the European Community integration, sealing the completion of the Internal Market, the culmination of a project begun in 1985. Coincidentally, 1992 also marked the opening of Euro Disneyland, a replica of the Magic Kingdom, the well-known theme park in the U.S.A. This was the culmination of a joint venture between the French government and the Disney corporation, the negotiations over which had roughly taken the same time to achieve as the consolidation of the European internal market. The initial agreement provides for continuous development of some 4801 acres of agricultural land in Marne-la-Valle -- an area roughly 1/5th the size of Paris -- into a luxury resort compound to be completed in the year 2017.1 The name, "Euro Disney," proclaimed it a supra-national entity suggesting a dedication not just to business but to the galvanization and consolidation of the European Union. Since its inception, however, the park has met with continuous resistance from various European constituencies and is yet to yield a profit. While the struggles have been cast as a case of "cultural imperialism," a review of the history of the Disney parks and an exploration of the lines of resistance to Euro Disney the paper argues that what is being resisted in France is not a cultural imperialism but the establishment of an autonomous complex within French boundaries. Instances of conflict over Euro Disney address issues of personal autonomy, public jurisdiction, the privatization of the public realm and the hardening of boundaries of exclusion and inclusion. These are tensions already present in Europe as a result of the globalization of the economy and internationalization. The battle over Euro Disney can be used as a microcosm of struggles yet to come
Walt Disney Fun-To-Read Library, Volume 4
No full textThis is a Disneyesque rendition of TH. Donald is impetuous,and gives himself over to many distractions before his Aesopic nap: washing the car at a wash (and drying it, since the top on his convertible did not go down), skateboarding, participating in a baseball game, stopping for a drink, and stopping for lunch. He raced so fast at one point that he was given a speeding ticket. Goofy has a repeated saying that Sonja and I both like: Slow and steady, steady and slow....This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First printingWalt Disney Studio
