Overview
When Walter Elias Disney moved to Hollywood in 1923, the twenty-one-year-old cartoonist seemed an unlikely businessmanāand yet within less than two decades, heād transformed his small animation studio into one of the most successful and beloved brands of the twentieth century. But behind Disneyās boisterous entrepreneurial imagination and iconic characters lay regressive cultural attitudes that, as The Walt Disney Companyās influence grew, began to not simply reflect the values of midcentury America but actually shape the countryās character.
Lauded as āone of the best studies ever done on American popular cultureā (Stephen J. Whitfield, Professor of American Civilization at Brandeis University), Richard Schickelās The Disney Version explores Walt Disneyās extraordinary entrepreneurial success, his fascinatingly complex character, andādecades after his deathāhis lasting legacy on America.
