The Disney Animation Renaissance
Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida opened in Orlando at the dawn
of the Disney Renaissance. As a member of the crew, Mary E. Lescher
witnessed the small studio's rise and fall during a transformative
era in company and movie history. Her in-depth interviews with
fellow artists, administrators, and support personnel reveal the
human dimension of a technological revolution: the dramatic shift
from hand-drawn cel animation to the digital format that eclipsed
it in less than a decade. She also traces the Florida Studio's
parallel existence as a part of The Magic of Disney Animation, a
living theme park attraction where Lescher and her colleagues
worked in full view of Walt Disney World guests eager to experience
the magic of the company's legendary animation process.
A ground-level look at the entertainment giant, The Disney
Animation Renaissance profiles the people and purpose behind a
little-known studio during a historic era.

The hidden Mickeys of Walt Disney World
\"So what exactly is a Hidden Mickey? Quite simply, it's an artistic representation of Mickey that was intentionally placed amid the architecture and design of the parks and resorts. Oftentimes it's the familiar three-circle shape of his ears and head. Other times it might be a profile of his face or a full-body silhouette. Walt Disney World Guests with keen eyes can tell you that Mickey pops up all over the resort, often in the most unexpected places. With this resortwide scavenger hunt, you'll be guided toward each Hidden Mickey, first with a general hint-if you're up for a challenge-and then with a very specific clue. It's so much search-and-find fun, you might forget about your FastPass reservation for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!\"--Amazon.com.

This includes the process of collecting oral histories from the artists, crew, and staff of the studio.

Power and Paradise in Walt Disney's World
From the four corners of the world, parents gather their children, pack their suitcases, and make the journey to Disney World in central Florida. Honeymooners choose the destination over countless others. Its symbols-whether the three overlapping circles that create a mouse's head or Cinderella's Castle with a shooting star over the turrets-are recognized around the globe. It has had nearly one billion visitors since opening in 1971.
In this fascinating analysis, Cher Krause Knight peels back the actual and contextual layers of Walt Disney's inspiration and vision for the resort to explore the reasons why Disney World has emerged as such a prominent sociocultural force. Every detail, from the scale and design of the buildings to the sidewalk infrastructure to what items could and could not be sold in the shops, was carefully calculated to shape the experience of each visitor. Expertly weaving themes of pilgrimage, paradise, fantasy, and urbanism, Knight delves into the unexpected nuances and contradictions of this elaborately conceived playland of the imagination.
