Description
This collection offers a critical analysis of Disney's musicals on stage and screen, exploring their impact, politics, and cultural value. From early 20th-century works like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to modern hits like Frozen, the book provides diverse theoretical engagements that will appeal to readers of film and media studies, musical theatre, and cultural studies.
Divided into three sections, the volume examines Disney's most famous musicals through various lenses. The first section explores animated works and their links to the musical theatre genre, while the second section addresses stage versions and Disney's outreach activities. The final section focuses on issues of gender and race in productions like Newsies, Frozen, High School Musical, Aladdin, and The Jungle Book.
