Abstract
Love or hate it, Disney remains the most important force within U.S. children’s culture—and perhaps even global popular culture. Osatinski presents what the executives, managers, and creators say at face value, leaving the reader to draw their own conclusions, but this hands-on research provides a useful model and way of thinking about children’s culture that could benefit children’s literature studies, in particular. [...]the shows vary significantly, from the eclectic, even avant-garde, style employed by director Julie Taymor in The Lion King to the pop soundtrack Phil Collins composed for Tarzan.
