The big picture : The fight for the future of movies / Ben Fritz Boston: Eamon Dolan Book/ Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018.
Call No: 210.31(73) FRIAuthor: Fritz, Ben Source: USPlace: BostonPublisher: Eamon Dolan Book/ Houghton Mifflin HarcourtPubDate: 2018PhysDes: xxv, 278 pages ; 24 cm.Subject: SONY CORPORATION ; MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT ; AMAZON ; NETFLIX ; IMAX ; WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS ; BUENA VISTA INTERNATIONAL ; WARNER BROS. ; FRANCHISES ; STAR WARS [...] (US, 1977-2015) Summary: "The stunning metamorphosis of twenty-first-century Hollywood and what lies ahead for the art and commerce of film. In the past decade, Hollywood has endured a cataclysm on a par with the end of silent film and the demise of the studio system. Stars and directors have seen their power dwindle, while writers and producers lift their best techniques from TV, comic books, and the toy biz. The future of Hollywood is being written by powerful corporate brands like Marvel, Amazon, Netflix, and Lego, as well as censors in China. Ben Fritz chronicles this dramatic shakeup with unmatched skill, bringing equal fluency to both the financial and entertainment aspects of Hollywood. He dives deeply into the fruits of the Sony hack to show how the previous model, long a creative and commercial success, lost its way. And he looks ahead through interviews with dozens of key players at Disney, Marvel, Netflix, Amazon, IMAX, and others to discover how they have reinvented the business. He shows us, for instance, how Marvel replaced stars with "universes," and how Disney remade itself in Apple's image and reaped enormous profits. But despite the destruction of the studios' traditional playbook, Fritz argues that these seismic shifts signal the dawn of a new heyday for film. The Big Picture shows the first glimmers of this new golden age through the eyes of the creative mavericks who are defining what our movies will look like in the new era." -- Book jacket.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-263) and index.ISBN: 9780544789760Contents: A notes on sources ix -- Introduction: Groundhog Day-How franchises killed originality in Hollywood xii -- Part 1: How Hollywood got here -- The Odd Couple: Lynton and Pascal's glory days at Sony -- Reality Bites: How everything went wrong for the movie business -- Inception: The secret origin of the superhero movie -- Revenge of the Nerds: The rise of Marvel Studios -- Spiderman: Homecoming- why Sony gave up its most valuable asset -- Star Wars: The decline of the A-list -- A Star is Born: Netflix, the new home for movie stars -- Frozen: Why studios stopped making mid-budget dramas -- Trading places: How tv stole movies' spot atop Hollywood -- Part 2: Where Hollywood is headed -- The Terminator: Disney, the perfect studio for the franchise age -- The Producers: Creativity meets franchise managment -- The Shop Around the Corner: Amazon saves the indie film business -- Apt Pupil: China's shifting relationship with Hollywood -- Field of Dreams: Studio defectors and the future of nonfranchise films -- The Last Picture Show?

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

This edited collection, from a range of international scholars, argues that the franchise is now an integral element of American media culture. As such, the collection explores the production, distribution and marketing of franchises as a historical form of media-making – analysing the complex industrial practice of managing franchises across interconnected online platforms.
Examining how traditional media incumbents like studios and networks have responded to the rise of new entrants from the technology sector (such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google), the authors take a critical look at the way new and old industrial logics collide in an increasingly fragmented and consolidated mediascape. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781474477741Contents: List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements – Foreword / Derek Johnson -- Introduction: The Franchise Era / James Fleury, Bryan Hikari Hartzheim, and Stephen Mamber

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.

In its granular textual readings, broad cultural scope, and insights into the complexities of the multimedia galaxy, this book is as entertaining as it is enlightening.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781517905422Contents: Introduction: Star wars and the history of nostalgia
Before the empire: the politics of George Lucas and the critique of the original trilogy
It calls to you: selling Star wars in 2015
Look how old you've become: the force awakens as legacy film
An awakening: diversity as the politics of the force awakens
Just like old times?: music, seriality, and the fugue of the force awakens
You have to start somewhere: contrasting nostalgias in the force awakens and rogue one
You think anybody's listening?: fighting fascism in rogue one and rebels
I've always hated watching you leave: death, Han Solo, and Carrie Fisher
I will finish what you started: Star wars from the last jedi and beyond.

Twenty-first-century Hollywood : rebooting the system / Neil Archer New York; Chichester, UK: Wallflower Press,
Call No: 71(73) "200"Author: Archer, Neil Edition: 2019Place: New York; Chichester, UKPublisher: Wallflower PressPhysDes: 118 pages : illustrated ; 22 cmSubject: AUDIENCE RESEARCH. USA ; DEL TORO, GUILLERMO ; DISNEY ; FRANCHISES ; MARVEL ; PIXAR ; WARNER BROS. Summary: Twenty-First-Century Hollywood looks into the contexts of studio film production in the new century in order to understand what shapes the style and content of present-day cinema. In an era dominated in box-office terms by the franchise and the family film, this book combines close textual readings and industrial analysis, illustrating why these kinds of movies are favored in the contemporary climate by producers and audiences alike. Neil Archer critically explores the narrative and aesthetic strategies at work in Hollywood’s most high-profile films, from Harry Potter, to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, to The Lego Movie. Along the way, the book answers some often unexpected questions: Why is Hollywood nervous about flying saucers? Why might the cinematic auteur be Hollywood’s savior? And why are the most grown-up movies those made for children? As this study shows, like the films themselves, the answers to these questions are often complex and surprising. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231191593Contents: Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Rebooted? -- 1.

Walt Disney : Hollywood's dark prince : a biography / by Marc Eliot Secaucus, N.J.: Carol Pub. Group, 1993.
Call No: 81DIS ELIAuthor: Eliot, Marc Place: Secaucus, N.J.Publisher: Carol Pub. GroupPubDate: 1993PhysDes: xxii, 305 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS ; DISNEY, WALT Summary: Everyone remembers him as the creator of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Fantasia. His films and characters inspired the great Disney theme parks. A creative genius, Walt Disney brought love and laughter to children everywhere. Now for the first time, Marc Eliot presents the real Walt Disney. The author reveals Walt Disney's twenty-five-year association with J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, serving as a Hollywood-based official informant before being promoted to the rank of Special Agent in Charge, rooting out Communists, subversives, and Jews. A lifelong anti-Semite, he absorbed his prejudice from his father, a strict fundamentalist who believed in corporal punishment and forced child labor; Walt Disney's phobic behavior is examined in detail, as is his obsessive hand-washing, heavy drinking, and sexual inadequacies. Unwilling to accept his father's violence as a form of love, and unwilling to "prove" his own identity, he feared he had actually been adopted in infancy and was illegitimate. He spent a lifetime searching for his real mother. Marc Eliot shows how these psycho-sexual conflicts drove Walt to the depths of lifelong despair and how they found expression in his "classic" animated characters and films, now so deeply embedded in American culture. In fact, they were created by a man who used the wealth and prestige they gave him to mold a nightmare empire of vengeance and power. Told against a panoramic view of Hollywood's golden age of glamour and backdoor politics, Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince is a fascinating work that concludes with a look into the Disney empire as it exists todayNotes: "A Birch Lane Press Book."; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 155972174X : $21.95LON: 92038788; 9605598
