Mickey Mouse Monopoly-Disney, Childood & Corporate Power

The Walt Disney Company's animated films are almost universally lauded as
wholesome family entertainment, enjoying massive popularity among children
and endorsement from parents and teachers. Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a
close and critical look at the world these films create (in terms of the
stories told about race, gender and class) and reaches disturbing
conclusions about the values propagated under the guise of innocence and
fun. Including interviews with cultrual crtics, media scholars, child
psychologists, kindergarten teachers, multicultural educators, college
students and children, Mickey Mouse Monopoly will provoke audiences to
confront comfortable assumptions about an American institution that is
virtually synonymous with childhood pleasure.
