Welcome back to Mousetalgia. This week, we review some recent Disney books, including Sam Gennawey’s “The Disneyland Story” The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney’s Dream; Jim Korkis’ “The Book of Mouse: A Celebration of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse,” Marty Sklar’s “Dream It! Do It! My Half Century Creating Disney’s Magic Kingdoms,” and Marvel Comic’s “Seekers of the Weird” issue one. Plus, we interview Adam Berger about his new book “Every Guest is a Hero: Disney’s Theme Parks and the Magic of Mythic Storytelling.” Berger describes the history and role of mythic storytelling in the creation of Imagineering’s immersive attractions at Disney theme parks. Plus – the Star Wars cannon is revisited, Frozen is on the way to Broadway, a change in management at D23 – and more.
