Program Description:

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 cultural critics, 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. Interviews with Henry Giroux, Diane Levin, Gail Dines, and many others.
