A provocative history of Disney’s rise to cultural dominance, pulling skeletons from the corporate closet to decode the political messages hidden in all of your favorite childhood movies.
In The Extended Universe, Vicky Osterweil takes us on a quest to discover how Disney’s “imagineers” have made it impossible to reflect on the wonders of growing up without thinking of Disney''s movies, amusement parks, and merchandising. Drawing on extensive interviews with filmmakers, screenwriters, union organizers, and Disney “adults” alike, Osterweil unearths reactionary political commitments and maleficent legal maneuvers so cartoonishly evil they would make one of Walt''s own animated villains blush.
Along the way, Osterweil braids together corporate skullduggery with a not entirely unsympathetic analysis of some of Disney''s most famous movies. The result is an entertaining and convincing case that Disney''s entire business model has been built upon a ruthless and fanatical insistence on intellectual property rights—from Steamboat Willie to Infinity Wars and beyond!
