Disneyland...Disney World....its a Disneyverse. This week we will consider some of the salient traits of what constitutes the disney narrative space in all its variety of productions. Before coming to class please view Mary Poppins (1964) and Saving Mr. Banks (2013). We will be watching Escape From Tomorrow in class and discussing the nature of the Disneyverse as a world-building environment.
We will also be evaluating the class at the mid-term and discussing plans for the forth-coming class curated session on Anime and Manga.
Written Assignments:
