Walt Disney's influence on entertainment and consumer culture is explored through a materialist and psychoanalytic lens. The analysis begins with a classification of narrative fantasy and its significance in psychoanalysis. Zornado interprets Disney's animated films from the "golden era" as reflections of cultural and personal crises, while also examining Disneyland as a significant symbol of this thematic exploration. The book delves into the interplay between fantasy and reality within Disney's creations, revealing deeper meanings behind his iconic works.
