{"product_id":"from-hollywood-to-disneyland-robert-neuman-9781476686257","title":"From Hollywood to Disneyland: Walt Disney's Dream Park and the Influence of American Movies","description":"From its beginnings, Disneyland was destined to be something entirely different from the standard mid-century amusement park. To sell his dream park to investors and the public, Walt Disney recruited Hollywood art directors and sketch artists to design the grounds around the mythic settings and high-minded ideals commonly expressed on the silver screen. This book focuses on the initial planning of Disneyland and its first year of operation, a time when Walt personally oversaw every detail of the park's development. Divided into chapters by park zone, it reveals how the five sectors were constructed using illusionistic tricks of stage design. Reaching beyond structure and design, chapters also explore how the sectors--Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland and Fantasyland--represented themes found in Disney stories, familiar movie genres and American culture at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Neuman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476686254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476686257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland and Company, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Robert Neuman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46052328177919,"sku":"9781476686257","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e53bc07c-b3fe-478a-a9fa-bb861feb1415.jpg?v=1723556052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-hollywood-to-disneyland-robert-neuman-9781476686257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
