Disney Gothic reveals the Gothic as the unacknowledged motor of the Disney machine, exploring representations of villains, ghosts, and monsters to construct and reinforce conceptions of normalcy and deviance.

Format: Hardback
Length: 266 pages
Publication date: 15 June 2024
Publisher: Lexington Books

Despite Disney's carefully crafted image of family friendliness, Gothic elements are pervasive in all of Disney's productions, ranging from its theme parks to its films and television programs. The contributors to Disney Gothic reveal that the Gothic, in fact, serves as the unacknowledged motor of the Disney machine. Exploring representations of villains, ghosts, and monsters, this book sheds important new light on the role these Gothic elements play throughout the Disney universe in constructing and reinforcing conceptions of normalcy and deviance in relation to shifting understandings of morality, social roles, and identity categories. In doing so, this book raises fascinating questions about the appeal, marketing, and consumption of Gothic horror by adults and particularly by children, who historically have been Disney's primary audience.
