Si vous êtes intéressé(e) par l'aspect juridique et les multiples procès auxquels a dû faire face le parc Disneyland depuis son ouverture en 1955, le dernier livre de David Koenig vient de sortir :
The People v. Disneyland : How Lawsuits & Lawyers Transformed the Magic de David Koenig (Bonaventure Press, 2015).
On July 17, 1955, Walt Disney opened his first venture directly serving the general public: Disneyland. Three days later, a small girl smashed her miniature Autopia car into a curb, slamming her face against the bare metal steering wheel. Her family filed suit.
Disney quickly went to work making the ride safer, while at the same time it began vigorously fighting the family’s charges. And, the park started gearing up for more lawsuits—thousands more.
The People v. Disneyland: How Lawsuits & Lawyers Transformed the Magic, the latest book from Mouse Tales author David Koenig, chronicles 60 years of tumbles, attraction mishaps, ticket scams, attacks by security guards and costumed characters, disability disputes, and employees who turned on their employer. Sometimes the allegations convinced Disney to change its operations, usually secretly. Other times, they stuck by their guns, convinced the claims were bogus.
Based on exclusive interviews and nearly 1,300 lawsuits filed against the Mouse, The People v. Disneyland reveals how Walt’s wonderland has been remade into a very different place.
Après avoir retracé la jeunesse de Walt Disney dans The Adventures of Young Walt Disney sorti l'année dernière, l'auteur canadien William Silvester publiera prochainement Saving Disney : The Roy E. Disney Story nous racontant l'histoire du fils de Roy O. et neveu de Walt.

Le nouveau livre de Jim Korkis ("Who's Afraid of the Song of the South ? And Other Forbidden Disney Stories", "The Vault of Disney"...) vient de sortir :
Secret Stories of Walt Disney World : Things You Never Knew You Never Knew de Jim Korkis (Theme Park Press, 2015).
It's a book of Disney secrets, each exactly two pages long, and each brimming with backstage lore. Jim Korkis gathered these secrets when he worked at Walt Disney World as an instructor at Disney University. They're all true. They're all cool.
La création de Disneyland vu sous un autre angle que celui des frères Disney avec ce livre sur le travail accompli par Cornelius Vanderbilt Wood. Ce dernier a joué un rôle-clé dans la création et le développement de Disneyland aux côtés de Walt et Roy O. Disney. Sortie le 1er mars 2016.
Three Years in Wonderland: The Disney Brothers, C. V. Wood, and the Making of the Great American Theme Park de Todd James Pierce (University Press of Mississippi, 2016).
L'introduction de l'éditeur :
While the success of Disneyland is largely credited to Walt and Roy Disney, there was a third, mostly forgotten dynamo instrumental to the development of the park--fast-talking Texan C. V. Wood. Three Years in Wonderland presents the never-before-told, full story of "the happiest place on earth." Using information from over one hundred unpublished interviews, Todd James Pierce lays down the arc of Disneyland's development from an idea to a paragon of entertainment.
In the early 1950s, the Disney brothers hired Wood and his team to develop a feasibility study for an amusement park Walt wanted to build in southern California. "Woody" quickly became a central figure. In 1954, Roy Disney hired him as Disneyland's first official employee, its first general manager, and appointed him vice president of Disneyland, Inc., where his authority was exceeded only by Walt. A brilliant project manager, Wood was also a con man of sorts. Previously, he had forged his university diploma. A smooth-talker and a man drawn to dirty jokes, the executive valued money over art. As relations soured between Wood and the Disney brothers, Wood began to extort lessees and leverage his position for personal aggrandizement. Eventually, he committed his most serious crime: arson.
In compelling detail, Three Years in Wonderland lays out the struggles and rewards of building the world's first cinematic theme park and convincing the American public that a $17 million amusement park was the ideal place for a family vacation. The early experience of Walt Disney, Roy Disney, and C. V. Wood is one of the most captivating untold stories in the history of Hollywood. Pierce interviewed dozens of individuals who enjoyed long careers at the Walt Disney Company as well as dozens of individuals who--like C. V. Wood--helped develop the park but then left the company for good once the park was finished. Through much research and many interviews, Three Years in Wonderland offers readers a rare opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the men and women who built the best-known theme park in the world.

William Silvester et la Storytellers Statue (Disney California Adventure Park)
L'ouvrage est maintenant disponible (Theme Park Press) :
It was not a magical time. Disney animation had lost its way, the theme parks were stagnating, and Michael Eisner had the legacy of Walt Disney by the throat and wouldn't let go. It took a second-generation Disney, shy, soft-spoken Roy E., whose passion was filmmaking, to beard the lion and save the kingdom.
Disney historian William Silvester's scrupulously researched new biography of Roy E. Disney spotlights Walt's unassuming nephew who cut his teeth on True-Life Adventure films and championed the cause of Disney animation at a time when the company was the target of hostile takeovers, internal apathy, and widespread disdain for the policies of Disney CEO Michael Eisner. The man who found it difficult to speak up at board meetings became the company's unlikely savior.
Le dernier titre de l'historien Disney Jim Korkis devait sortir fin juin (annoncé sur Amazon pour le 25 juin) mais la sortie semble avoir été postposée à une date ultérieur.
The Unofficial Disneyland 1955 Companion : The Anecdotal Story of the Birth of the Happiest Place on Earth de Jim Korkis (Theme Park Press, 2016).
A Year in the Life of Disneyland
And what a year! In 1955, Walt Disney's dream of a theme park, the first of its kind in the world, came true. Disney historian Jim Korkis' entertaining tale of an American pop culture icon is power-packed with details, and the most thorough account of Disneyland's early days ever published.
As Walt Disney once said: "it takes people to make the dream a reality". Korkis never loses sight of the many people who built Disneyland, from famous Imagineers to obscure ticket takers. From their stories he crafts the epic adventure of how Walt conjured magic from an orange grove, with all the politics and the pixie dust, and the thrill of doing what no one had ever done before.
Réédition d'un ancien ouvrage de Bob Thomas : Magician of the Movies : The Life of Walt Disney dont l'édition originale était sortie il y a (déjà) 50 ans (1966).
L'auteur, décédé en 2014, est également connu des fans Disney pour ses autres ouvrages sur Walter Elias et Roy Oliver Disney : Walt Disney : The Art of Animation (1958), Walt Disney : An American Original (1976), Building a Company : Roy O. Disney and the Creation of an Entertainment Empire (1998)
Magician of the Movies : The Life of Walt Disney de Bob Thomas (Theme Park Press, 2016).
The stories told in Magician of the Movies unravel the man who fascinates us to this day. Thomas puts us in the wagon with young Walt making the rounds with Doc Sherwood in Marceline, Missouri. He makes us feel Walt's despair at the loss of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit—and Walt's jubilance not long after with the creation of Mickey Mouse.
We follow Walt to France during World War I, sit alongside him at the premiere of Snow White, and weather with him the dark days of World War II. We watch as orange groves give way to magic and pixie dust. Even if you've heard these stories before, Thomas brings them—and many others—to vivid life, with wit and charm, and deepens your admiration for Walt Disney.
Quand un professeur d'université, historienne de formation et fan Disney, étudie l'histoire des parcs à thème Disney de Disneyland à Shanghai Disneyland, cela donne un livre un peu académique intitulé Magic Kingdoms : A History of the Disney Theme Parks qui met l'accent sur les défis techniques, culturels et politiques que Walt Disney a surmontés à travers un panel varié d'intervenants (artistes, Imagineers , politiciens et magnats des affaires).
Magic Kingdoms : A History of the Disney Theme Parks de Stephanie Barczewski (Theme park Press, 2016)
L'éditeur américain Theme Park Press a récemment publié une traduction du livre d'Alberto Becattini édité dans les années '90 en Italie et retraçant l'histoire des comics Disney à travers le monde (Etats-Unis, Grande-Bretagne, Italie, France, Espagne, Scandinavie, Pays-Bas etc...)
Il apparait qu'à l'occasion de la publication de cette traduction en anglais, l'ouvrage a bénéficié d'une mise à jour (l'auteur a réécrit certains chapitres mais en a également ajoutés de nouveaux).
Voici la couverture de l'édition originale publiée par Editrice Comic Art en 1995 et celle de la traduction éditée par Theme Park Press en 2016 :
L'éditeur Theme Park Press continue d'exploiter le filon Disney (avec des résultats contrastés), voici ses quatre dernières publications :
Disney Unbuilt : A Pocket Guide to the Disney Imagineering Graveyard de Chris Ware.
For all that Disney has built, there's so much more it hasn't built. Here's your nickel tour of the parks, lands, attractions, restaurants, and hotels that hatched from the fertile minds of the Disney Imagineers, from the 1950s to the present, but that you'll likely never see or experience.
Okay, mouse fans, time for some straight talk. This book is a pocket guide. You can't fit an encyclopedia in your pocket. If you're looking for definitive scholarship about Thunder Mesa and Beastly Kingdom and Muppet Studio and the many other well-known abandoned Disney projects, you won't find it here. Far from it!
What you will find, and what makes this book so unique, is that it's all here, every serious and every whimsical notion that Imagineering ever put in a blueprint, or on a napkin, in little digestible slices of Disney magic.
Skipper Stories : True Tales from Disneyland's Jungle Cruise de David John Marley.
In this unique oral history of Disneyland's iconic attraction, the World Famous Jungle Cruise, dozens of skippers, from the 1950s to the present, share harrowing, humorous, sometimes even horrific tales of their pun-fraught voyages and their behind-the-scenes hellraising.
The Jungle Cruise is that most unusual of Disney attractions where the ride itself is secondary to the cast member. Once the boat leaves the dock, Disney no longer controls the experience; your skipper does.
Former skipper and now history professor David John Marley presents the uncensored stories of six decades of Jungle Cruise skippers.
The Walt Disney World That Never Was : Stories Behind the Amazing Imagineering Dreams That Never Came True de Christopher E. Smith
On an alternate earth, Walt Disney World guests are taking in the thrills of Thunder Mesa, braving the Beastly Kingdom, marveling at Villains Mountain, and staying the night at Disney's Persian Resort. Want to join them? This is your guidebook to the theme park that Disney never built.
In this unique, extensively researched book, Christopher Smith discusses the many attractions, shows, and resorts that were planned for Walt Disney World, from opening day to the present day, but that exist only in the minds of Imagineers.
You'll find old "favorites" such as Thunder Mesa and Beastly Kingdom, as well as those lost to the pixie dust of time, like Dick Tracy's Crime Stoppers, the Enchanted Snow Palace, and Buffalo Junction. Smith looks at the politics and internal struggles behind the decision to shelve each concept, and imagines what guests might have experienced.
Every park at Walt Disney World—Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios—has its hidden cache of "lost" attractions. They're all here, along with the many resort hotels that Disney intended to build, but didn't.
Put aside those guidebooks of the Walt Disney World that is, and come to a vacation kingdom that you can visit only if you find the second star to the right and then keep straight on till morning.
The Unauthorized Story of Walt Disney's Haunted Mansion de Jeff Baham (seconde édition mise à jour).
Join your new Ghost Host, Jeff Baham, as he recounts the colorful, chilling history of the Haunted Mansion and pulls back the shroud on its darkest secrets in this definitive book about Disney's most ghoulish attraction. Packed with photos, never-before-told stories, and comprehensive coverage of the mansion's haunted past and its chilling presence at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and other Disney theme parks.
Beginning with the Haunted Mansion's original (but never realized) incarnation as "Bloodmere Manor", Baham pulls back the shroud on the clever effects that haunt the Mansion, including Ken Anderson's plan for a cyclorama-enhanced Headless Horseman, Yale Gracey and Rolly Crump's creative wizardry and "happy accidents", Bob Gurr's Doom Buggies, the technology behind Madame Leota's crystal ball, and the controlled chaos of the Ballroom Scene.
You'll learn why X. Atencio's idea for a raven narrator was ditched in favor of the now infamous Ghost Host, whether a screaming man caught in a spider web once dwelt in the mansion, and how technology exorcised the Hatbox Ghost.
There's more to the mansion than mere mechanics. More than perhaps any other Disney attraction, the Haunted Mansion is powered by story: the scenes and spirits you witness from your Doom Buggy all play roles in the overall narrative of the mansion, and if you don't know the story, you'll miss out on a lot of the fun, and a few of the scares, too.
Baham clues you in about such things as why the mansion is there, who built it, how it became haunted, and the dastardly deeds done by some of its residents in their corruptible, mortal states.
There's always room for one more, and this time you're it: come experience the Haunted Mansion with the "lights on" and learn its ghostly history, its sinister secrets, and why this Disney attraction continues to happily haunt fans young and old.
Theme Park Press débute une série de livres relatant des anecdotes au sujet d'attractions populaires des Parcs Disney.
Parmi les dix histoires sélectionnées pour ce premier volume, on y retrouve les attractions Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain et The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
La qualité comme l'intérêt des livres publiés par Theme Park Press est très variable et comme ce ne sont pas des ouvrages officiels (ouvrages édités par le groupe Disney ou un de ses partenaires - Chronicle Books, Abrams...), l'éditeur n'a pas accès à la banque d'images Disney pour illustrer ses textes.
L'Historien Disney Jim Korkis consacre son nouvel ouvrage au projet annulé de film d'animation inspiré de l'histoire écrite par le pilote gallois Roald Dahl publiée en 1943 sous le titre The Gremlins (Les Gremlins).
Gremlin Trouble ! : The Cursed Roald Dahl Film Disney Never Made de Jim Korkis (Theme Park Press, 2017).
Autre nouveauté chez cet éditeur spécialisé dans les parcs à thème - et Disney en particulier (c'est indéniablement vendeur quand on constate le nombre de titres publiés chaque année même si la majorité est largement dispensable) :
An American in Disneyland Paris : Adventures in Disney’s European Theme Park and Aboard the Disney Magic de Chuck Schmidt (Theme Park Press, 2017).
Présentation de l'éditeur : For Americans, Disneyland Paris can be equal parts comforting and frightening. All the familiar Disney stuff is there: the castle, a main street, and of course Mickey, but it's still a foreign experience. Don your beret and come sample the pixie dust in Paris.
Not a guidebook, An American in Disneyland Paris is a story, a "theme park encounter" told by former newspaper reporter Chuck Schmidt, who for decades covered the "Disney beat" for the Staten Island Advance. Chuck's insight into the park and the tale of its creation is first-hand, the result of his connections and interviews with such Disneyland Paris "fathers" as Marty Sklar and Tony Baxter.
The story doesn't end at the gates of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The second act of Chuck's book is given over to his return home, aboard the Disney Magic. Once more, his press credentials give him access to areas of the ship and "backstage crew" not shared by other passengers. Chuck's interviews with costume technicians, lighting designers, show performers, and even a creative director for Walt Disney Imagineering provide unique perspective on what it's like to work on a Disney cruise ship, and how Disney keeps passengers busy and happy during the long ocean crossing.
From Disney magic to Disney Magic, this is one "vacation" you'll never forget!
En tout cas, leurs couvertures sont bien souvent laides. Cela fait vraiment amateur et ne m'incite clairement pas à acheter.
Elles sont effectivement bien moches car contrairement à Chronicle Books et Abrams aux Etats-Unis ou Huginn & Muninn et Hachette en France, cet éditeur ne possèdent pas d'accord officiel avec Disney Publishing Worldwide.
Theme Park Press n'a de ce fait pas accès aux banques d'images des différentes filiales de The Walt Disney Company et ne dispose pas de droits de reproduction. Cela limite dès lors leurs possibilités à quelques designs suggestifs pour les couvertures et éventuellement quelques photos libres de droits pour illustrer leurs textes.
L'éditeur surfe visiblement sur la vague "Disney" et la plus part de ses publications s'apparentent à des fan books.
Je vous rejoins sur le design passable des couvertures. En soit, ce n'est pas le choix des images qui me dérange - d'ailleurs les caricatures utilisées pour les livres de Didier Ghez sont superbes, mais plutôt les choix typographiques, dignes d'un Comic sans MS... M'enfin, cela ne retire rien à la qualité d'une bonne partie des titres. D'ailleurs, j'ai hâte de pouvoir me procurer celui sur Les Gremlins, qui viendra compléter la réédition du livre de Dark Horse et la BD proposée par le même éditeur.

Kathryn M. Price retrace la vie des frères Sherman en vingt-cinq chapitres dans un livre sorti au cours de la semaine chez Theme Park Press :
Walt Disney's Melody Makers : A Biography of the Sherman Brothers de Kathryn M. Price (Theme Park Press, 2018).
Description de l'éditeur : Richard and Robert Sherman wrote the soundtrack to Walt Disney's dreams. Their music is an integral, indelible part of many of Disney's classic films, shows, and theme park attractions. But for the Shermans, success was not always just a dream away.
The story of the Sherman Brothers might have sprung from a stock Disney plot: after long struggles and numerous failures, a serendipitous event brought them fame, fortune, and happiness. That event was their first meeting with Walt Disney, a meeting which they left with their heads hanging, as Walt's only comment about the song they played for them was: "That'll work."
In Walt-speak, however, "that'll work" was high praise indeed, and the Shermans (or "the boys", as Walt called them) went on to create a musical legacy that millions of Disney fans just can't get out of their heads.
In this well-researched biography, Kathryn Price traces the lives of the Shermans, from their unsettled childhood as the sons of a Tin Pan Alley songwriter and their early failure to replicate his success, to their chart-topping but surprisingly short collaboration with Walt Disney and the long coda to their careers after Walt's death and the transformation of the Disney company into a disharmony they could not tolerate.
William Silvester, déjà auteur de The Adventures of Young Walt Disney (2014) et Saving Disney: The Story of Roy E. Disney (2015), a également publié un livre sur la création des six Parcs Disney érigés hors du territoire américain - au Japon, en France et en Chine.

Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney : How They Conquered The Third Reich de Carsten Laqua (Hermes Press, 2019)
Description de l'éditeur : The first complete history of Walt Disney's creations, beginning in pre-war Germany and ending with the impact of all things Disney in the 1950s. Written by Disney historian, museum exhibition curator, and art dealer Carsten Laqua, this extensive history is based on a detailed study of the European Disney archives as well as with interviews conducted over more than a decade during the 1980-1990s.
Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney: How They Conquered the Third Reich explores the licensing and merchandising of Disney cartoons in pre-war Germany and then methodically relates the Third Reich's formal and informal reaction to Mickey Mouse and Disney's entire output of cartoon features - from the use of Mickey Mouse and Disney characters in products, advertising and even as a moniker on German military vehicles and aircraft.
This in-depth history also details Disney's U.S. propaganda against the Nazis as well as delving into the ill-fated attempt of Disney's employees during this period to unionize.
Packed with photographs, never-before-seen documentary records and products that were manufactured during the war in Germany. The book concludes with influence of Walt Disney's world of creations on post-World War II Germany. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 never before published historic photographs.

Kem Weber : Mid-Century Furniture Designs for the Disney Studios de David Bossert (Old Mill Press, 2018).
Description de l'éditeur : Kem Weber (1889-1960), a well-known mid-century architect, was part of the distinctive West Coast modernism movement that helped shaped the relaxed California lifestyle. He influenced California style during the mid-twentieth century with buildings architecture, interior designs and furniture, including his famed Air Line chair, which is part of many museum furniture collections. As chief designer for the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank in 1939, Kem Weber also designed the specialized animation furniture that went into the then new studio complex. The Disney animation furniture, which has been lauded in recent years, was designed for specific animation disciplines with input from the artists that would be using it. It was all part of Walt Disney's desire to create an efficient utopian campus for animated film production. This book is a comprehensive overview of the Kem Weber designed Disney animation furniture that takes the reader on a journey from concept sketches and photos to interviews with legendary artists. David A. Bossert celebrates and details the form and function of this unique mid-century furniture and the impact it had on the Disney animation process over the decades.
