Call No: 19DIS STEAuthor: Stewart, James B. Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: Simon & SchusterPubDate: 2005PhysDes: xv, 572 p. ; 25 cm.Subject: WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS ; EISNER, MICHAEL ; DISNEY, ROY EDWARD ; KATZENBERG, JEFFREY ; OVITZ, MIKE Summary: "...Drawing on unprecedented access to both Eisner and Roy Disney, current and former executives and board members, as well as thousands of pages of never-before-seen letters, memos, transcripts, and other documents, James B. Stewart gets to the bottom of mysteries that have enveloped Disney for years: What really caused the rupture with studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenburg, a man who was regarded Eisner as a father but who became his fiercest rival? How could Eisner have so misjudged Michael Ovitz, a man who was not only :the most powerful man in Hollywood" but also his friend, whom he appointed as Disney president and immediately wanted to fire? what caused the break between Eisner and Pixar abruptly abandon its partnership with Disney? Why did Eisner so misturst Roy Disney that he assigned Disney company executives to spy on him? How did Eisner control the Disney board for so long, and what really happened in the fateful board meeting in September 2004, when Eisner played his last cards?
...Stewart describes how Eisner lost his chairmanship, and why he felt obliged to resign as CEO, effective 2006. No other book so thoroughly penetrates the secretive world of the corporate boardroom. Disney War is enthralling tale of one of America's most powerful media and entertainment companies, the people who control it, and those trying to overthrow them.
Disney War is an epic achievment. It tells a story that - in its sudden twists, vivid, larger-than-life characters, and thrilling climax - might itself have been the subject of a Disney aminated clasis - except that it's all true." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes indexISBN: 0684809931Contents: Cast member -- Prologue -- Part one: the wonderful world of Disney -- Part two: disenchanted kingdom -- Part three: Disneywar -- Epilogue -- A note on sources -- Acknowledgements -- Index

Call No: 802.46-02(73) HOLAuthor: Holt, Natalia Edition: 2020Place: New YorkPublisher: Back Bay BooksPhysDes: xviii, 379 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 21 cmSubject: ALICE IN WONDERLAND (US, Clyde Geronimi & Wilfred Jackson & Hamilton Luske & Brice Mack, 1951) ; WOMEN FILM WORKERS ; DISNEY, WALT ; DISNEY, ROY EDWARD ; BAMBI (US, David Hand, 1942) ; CINDERELLA (US, Wilfred Jackson & Hamilton Laske & Clyde Geronomi, 1950) ; FANTASIA (US, Walt Disney, 1940) ; SLEEPING BEAUTY (US, Clyde Geronimi, 1958) ; SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (US, David Hand, 1937) Summary: From the bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket Girls, the untold, "richly detailed" story of the women of Walt Disney Studios, who shaped the iconic films that have enthralled generations (Margot Lee Shetterly, New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Figures).
From Snow White to Moana, from Pinocchio to Frozen, the animated films of Walt Disney Studios have moved and entertained millions. But few fans know that behind these groundbreaking features was an incredibly influential group of women who fought for respect in an often ruthless male-dominated industry and who have slipped under the radar for decades.
In The Queens of Animation, bestselling author Nathalia Holt tells their dramatic stories for the first time, showing how these women infiltrated the boys' club of Disney's story and animation departments and used early technologies to create the rich artwork and unforgettable narratives that have become part of the American canon. As the influence of Walt Disney Studios grew — and while battling sexism, domestic abuse, and workplace intimidation — these women also fought to transform the way female characters are depicted to young audiences.
With gripping storytelling, and based on extensive interviews and exclusive access to archival and personal documents, The Queens of Animation reveals the vital contributions these women made to Disney's Golden Age and their continued impact on animated filmmaking, culminating in the record-shattering Frozen, Disney's first female-directed full-length feature film. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780316439145Contents: Preface -- Timeline -- One day when we were young -- Whistle while you work -- When you wish upon a star -- Waltz of the flowers -- Little April shower -- Baby mine -- Aquarela do Brasil -- You're in the army now -- Zip-a-dee-doo-dah -- So this is love -- In a world of my own -- You can fly! -- Once upon a dream -- Dalmatian plantation -- It's a small world -- Up, down, touch the ground -- Part of your world -- I'll make a man out of you -- For the first time in forever -- Happily ever after -- Acknowledgements -- Notes -- Index.
