Mouse Under Glass

Secrets of Disney Animation & Theme Parks, By David Koenig

So you think you know classic Disney animation? Well, did you know… … Belle, Aladdin and Pocahontas nearly ended up living with their mothers? … 100+ songs were composed for and then cut from Disney’s classic animated features, including 20 alone from Mary Poppins and 30 from Alice in Wonderland? … there are little silhouettes of Mickey Mouse hidden all throughout Disney’s amusement parks? … characters from previous films such as Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King regularly make subtle cameos in later movies?

In Mouse Under Glass: Secrets of Disney Animation & Theme Parks, David Koenig takes a whimsical, unauthorized look at the unknown and the unusual, from animated classics Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs through Tarzan, plus theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Author of the best-selling Mouse Tales: A Behind-the-Ears Look at Disneyland, Koenig reveals hundreds of characters, songs, storylines and theme park attractions that almost were. Along the way, learn Disney’s deep-secret formula for success that kept its entertainment offerings a notch above the competitors’. You’ll be amazed and amused by a side of Disney you’ve never seen before.
