Description
“Telotte really shines! His passion for analyzing Disney artifacts animates each page. Descriptions are vivid and detailed; analyses are rigorous and insightful, while his engagement with case studies is exemplary. The Mouse Machine is an engaging and intelligent book for those interested in cultural studies, popular culture, media studies, film studies, mass communication, technology and society, American studies, and related fields.” Eileen R. Meehan, author of Why TV Is Not Our Fault: Television Programming, Viewers, and Whos Really in Control “The Mouse Machine is a copious history of Disney’s innovations and preoccupations; it makes clear just how consistently and significantly Uncle Walt used technology to gain an edge on the competition." Jon Lewis, editor of Cinema Journal and author of Hollywood vs. Hardcore: How the Struggle over Censorship Created the Modern Film Industry
