Anjirbag interrogates the gap between Disney's stated intentions to create stories inclusive of racial, ethnic, and national difference and the real community impact of the racism and misrepresentation that undergirds Disney's tales. Further, she demonstrates that Disney shapes childhood experiences and imagination in a way that strategically promotes American cultural imperialism. Through close film analysis, applied critical theory, and social analysis of the Disney corporation, Anjirbag unearths a new framework for studies of Disney fairy tales and how they shape popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichelle Anya Anjirbag is an affiliated researcher in the department of literature at the University of Antwerp and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eAge in David Almond's Oeuvre: A Multi-Method Approach to Studying Age and the Life Course in Children's Literature\u003c\/i\u003e.
