For many of us, why is every third photo at home from a Disney Park and every fifth kitchen towel covered in those famous ears?
And what lies behind not only children, but adults, crying as Bambi looks for his mother or upon seeing Cinderella’s Castle for the first time? Most of all, how does Disney make us feel this way? And why are th
For many of us, why is every third photo at home from a Disney Park and every fifth kitchen towel covered in those famous ears?
And what lies behind not only children, but adults, crying as Bambi looks for his mother or upon seeing Cinderella’s Castle for the first time? Most of all, how does Disney make us feel this way? And why are these questions so important, especially now?
Because, in answering them, in hearing from those who evoke these feelings through a powerful mixture of “method and magic,” we learn not only why we love Disney but why, if Disney didn’t exist, we would need to create it. We also learn more about ourselves and each other along the way.
How Does Disney Do That?: How Disney Makes Us Feel and Why It Matters will answer these questions, and more, through heartfelt and hopeful stories from Disney fans, and those who create the experiences. The book, complemented by a website and growing online groups, will also serve as the perfect “bookend” to Disney 100 Years of Wonder, the global celebration now marking the hundredth anniversary of the founding of The Walt Disney Company.
Each chapter will build to the ultimate answer of why so many love Disney and include thought-provoking questions to help readers uncover their own stories.
To the point that, over the course of the book, they will learn that Disney’s “Welcome home” greeting, heard around the world, is more than just words.
They're a promise.
Theron Skees, former Imagineering Creative Executive and main contributor to the book, shares his thoughts on what will set it apart.
