Forgotten Disney : Essays on the Lesser-Known Productions sous la direction de Kathy Merlock Jackson, Carl H. Sederholm et Mark I. Wes (McFarland & Co Inc , 2023).








Description de l'éditeur : This work demonstrates that not everything that Disney touched turned to gold. In its first 100 years, the company had major successes that transformed filmmaking and culture, but it also had its share of unfinished projects, unmet expectations, and box-office misses. Some works failed but nevertheless led to other more stunning and lucrative ones; others shed light on periods when the Disney Company was struggling to establish or re-establish its brand. In addition, many Disney properties, popular in their time but lost to modern audiences, emerge as forgotten gems. By exploring the studio's missteps, this book provides a more complex portrayal of the history of the company than one would gain from a simple recounting of its many hits. With essays by writers from across the globe, it also asserts that what endures or is forgotten varies from person to person, place to place, or generation to generation. What one dismisses, someone else recalls with deep fondness as a magical Disney memory.

Dans la continuité du film documentaire A Disturbance in the Force, le réalisateur Steve Kozak a publié un livre racontant l'histoire de la genèse du célèbre (!) téléfilm Au Temps de la Guerre des Étoiles diffusé en 1978 sur CBS :


A Disturbance in the Force: How and Why the Star Wars Holiday Special Happened de Steve Kozak (Applause Editions, 2023).





Description de l'éditeur : Bea Arthur as the owner of the Mos Eisley Cantina. Long scenes entirely of Wookies bleating at each other, without subtitles. Harvey Korman, in drag, as a four-armed Space Julia Child. Six minutes of Jefferson Starship performing for Art Carney and a bored Imperial Guard. Mark Hamill, fresh from his near-fatal motorcycle accident, slathered in pancake makeup. A salacious holographic burlesque from Diahann Carroll.

Even by the standards of the 1970s, even compared to Jar-Jar Binks, the legendary 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is a peerlessly cringeworthy pop-culture artifact. George Lucas, who completely disowned the production, reportedly has said, “If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it.” Just how on earth did this thing ever see the light of day?

To answer that question, as Steven Kozak shows in this fascinating and often hilarious inside look into the making of the Special, you have to understand the cultural moment in which it appeared―a long, long time ago when cheesy variety shows were a staple of network television and Star Wars was not yet the billion-dollar multimedia behemoth that it is today. Kozak explains how the Special was one piece of a PR blitz undertaken by Lucas and his colleagues as they sought to protect the emerging franchise from hostile studio executives. He shows how, despite the involvement of some of the most talented people in the business, creative differences between movie and television writers led to a wildly uneven product. He gives entertaining accounts of the problems that plagued production, which included a ruinously expensive cantina set; the acrimonious departure of the director and Lucas himself; and a furious Grace Slick, just out of rehab, demanding to be included in the production.

Packed with memorable anecdotes, drawing on extensive new interviews with countless people involved in the production, and told with mingled affection and bewilderment, this never-before-told story gives a fascinating look at a strange moment in pop-culture history that remains an object of fascination even today.

Après Mickey Mouse, il s'agit cette fois d'un ouvrage consacré à l'histoire de Donald Duck !


Walt Disney's Donald Duck de David Gerstein (Editions Taschen, 2022).


Descriptif de l'éditeur pour la VO : Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of Donald Duck the opposite is true: The candidness with which Donald reveals his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever. Revisit a Duck's life's work from nine decades in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Following Taschen's successful volume Mickey Mouse - The Complete History, we witness the career of Mickey's only rival for the throne as Disney's most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald's more than 170 cartoons, his groundbreaking comic adventures, TV, and theme park appearances. As a special treat to his fans, they dive deep into the vaults to tell the story of his unfinished film projects.

With unlimited access to Disney's vast historical collections as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald's life story with rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and comic drawings as well as historical photographs. We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and comics who defined his character including a vast tribute to the «Duck man» himself, master storyteller Carl Barks including never seen early storyboard drawings.

In the history of comics, Donald Duck is the most frequently printed figure outside the superhero genre and has appeared on screen more often than any other Disney character.
Since the 1950s, Duckburg expanded toward a truly global village. American artists were joined by a new generation of international colleagues.

As Carl Barks once said of Donald: «He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make.» Let's celebrate the world's most famous Duck and best-loved loser with a monumental tribute.

Sortie à la rentrée de Disney In-Between: The Lost Years 1966-1986 de Stephen Anderson.


Stephen Anderson est un réalisateur, scénariste et scénarimagiste avec plus de 30 ans d'expérience dans l'industrie de l'animation.

Aux studios d'animation Walt Disney, il était scénariste sur Tarzan et a ensuite été promu superviseur d'histoire pour The Emperor's New Groove et Brother Bear. En tant que réalisateur, il a réalisé les longs métrages Meet the Robinsons et Winnie the Pooh, suivi d'un rôle de directeur superviseur chez Walt Disney Television Animation pour la première saison de Monsters at Work, qui a fait ses débuts sur Disney+ en juillet 2021.

Disney In-Between est un voyage passionnant à travers un chapitre crucial de l'histoire de Disney, retraçant la lutte et le triomphe ultime du studio depuis le décès de Walt Disney jusqu'à sa renaissance sous Roy E. Disney, Michael Eisner, Frank Wells et Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Une lecture incontournable pour tout passionné de Disney.


Disney In-Between: The Lost Years 1966-1986 de Stephen Anderson (The Old Mill Press, 2024).






Description de l'éditeur : Embark on an enthralling journey with Disney In-Between, spanning the transformative era from Walt Disney’s 1966 passing to the studio’s triumphant resurgence in the vibrant mid-80s, under the visionary stewardship of Roy E. Disney, Michael Eisner, Frank Wells, and Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Uncover the riveting tale of how this once-independent, family-driven movie powerhouse, renowned for its innovation and forward-thinking, faltered amidst seismic disruptions. Through exclusive interviews with the brilliant minds behind cinematic gems like The Rescuers, Pete’s Dragon, Freaky Friday, The Black Hole, The Fox and the Hound, Tron, Never Cry Wolf, and The Black Cauldron, gain unprecedented insight into a studio shackled by tradition, veering away from Walt Disney’s legacy of innovation.

But the story doesn’t end there. Disney In-Between illuminates the rise of a new generation of filmmakers and leaders, fueled by a profound love for Disney’s enchantment, yet unencumbered by its history. Together, they shattered boundaries, paving the way for a future defined by growth and unparalleled success.

In Disney In-Between: The Lost Years 1966-1986, a saga of transformation, resilience, and unwavering passion for storytelling emerges, reminding us that even amidst challenges, the enduring magic of Disney prevails.

Le Livre de poche sortira à l'automne un livre au titre provisoire (ou pas) de Star Wars (référence 37538 dans la collection) dont le ou les auteur(s) n'ont pas encore été communiqué(s). Il peut s'agir d'un essai ou d'un document (témoignage, biographie...).

Le titre est Star Wars : Le Mythe tu comprendras avec une sortie prévue le 23 octobre 2024.

Il s'agit d'entretiens avec Thomas Benatouïl (professeur de philosophie ancienne a l'Universite de Lille), Sven Ortoli (journaliste scientifique), Alexis Lavis (philosophe), John Scheid (historien, épigraphiste et archéologue) et Heinz Wismann (philosophe).





Description de l'éditeur : En 1969, quelques semaines après l'alunissage d'Apollo XI, l'Amérique découvre avec stupéfaction les horreurs de la guerre du Viêtnam. Huit ans plus tard, avec Star Wars, George Lucas offre à tous les traumatisés et à leurs enfants l'histoire du rachat de Dark Vador devenant in extremis un père aimant. Lucas, fidèle aux comic strips de sa jeunesse, dessine alors cet âge d'or médiéval où les humains ont quitté leur banlieue stellaire pour essaimer dans la galaxie. Star Wars inaugure en 1977 la domination d'un genre, de la fantasy parfois mâtinée de SF. Le philosophe marxiste Georg Lukács l'avait noté : chaque époque produit la forme de récit qui lui est propre. George Lucas, l'enfant des sixties, a donné une forme au récit de la génération qui bâtissait le nouveau monde de l'internet. Une génération pour laquelle << the sky is the limit >>.

Sans doute, à l'image des autres titres, mais ces rééditions à d'autres formats dans d'autres collections ne voient le jour, parfois, que quelques années après la publication de l'édition originale au format XXL.

A titre d'exemple :

Les Archives Star Wars (volume 1) est sorti au format "XXL" (150 €) en 2019 et au format "40th" (25 €) en 2020 (attendus : format "XL" à 75 € et format "Pocket" à 15 €).

Les Archives Star Wars (volume 2) est sorti au format "XXL" (150 €) en 2021 et au format "40th" (25 €) en 2022.

Les premiers titres de La Bibliothèque de Comics Marvel publiés au format "XXL" (150 €) et en version colletor (500 €) vont également être réédités dans d’autres formats (XL et Pocket).

Il bon de rappeller que toutes les rééditions, à l’exception du format XL, sont des éditions reformatées avec réduction du nombre de pages et du contenu (illustrations comme texte).
