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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. Main Street, U.S.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. Frontierland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. Adventureland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. Tomorrowland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5. Fantasyland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040497631575,"sku":"9781476686257","price":34.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476686257.jpg?v=1750946936","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-hollywood-to-disneyland-9781476686257","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
