"Disneyanity: Of Walt and Religion studies the manner in which popular entertainment can compete with conventional churches as a source of spirituality. Here is a work of film history, focusing on the Walt Disney Company from its inception until the present day, analyzing individual projects as well as their relationship to one another forming a thematic and aesthetic body of work. It is also a study of the manner in which popular culture, designed as mass entertainment, can emerge into not only a global entrepreneurial industry but also an alternative religion. Disneyanity is one of the post-Chicken Soup for the Soul self-help books that aid the reader in rediscovering their often challenged sense of spiritual identity in the difficult modern world, achieving a healthier attitude through ancient wisdom re-presented for a New Age public."--amazon.com.
