The study opens with a taxonomy of narrative fantasy along with a discussion of fantasy as a key concept within psychoanalytic discourse. Zornado reads Disney’s full-length animated features of the “golden era” as symbolic responses to cultural and personal catastrophe, and presents Disneyland as a monument to \u003ci\u003eDisney fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e and one man’s singular, perverse desire. What follows after is a discussion of the “second golden age” of Disney and the rise of Pixar Animation as neoliberal\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003enostalgia in crisis. The study ends with a reading of George Lucas as latter-day Disney and \u003ci\u003eStar Wars \u003c\/i\u003eas \u003ci\u003eDisney fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e. This study should appeal to film and media studies college undergraduates, graduates students and scholars interested in Disney.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-11-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319626765\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-62677-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 260\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45937872404620,"sku":"9783319626765","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319626765.jpg?v=1776012863","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319626765","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
