These productions range from the \u003ci\u003eTrue-Life Adventures\u003c\/i\u003e nature documentaries and such depictions of cutting-edge technology as \u003ci\u003eMan in Space\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOur Friend the Atom, \u003c\/i\u003e to wartime propaganda shorts (\u003ci\u003eEducation for Death\u003c\/i\u003e), public-health films (\u003ci\u003eVD Attack Plan\u003c\/i\u003e) and coverage of exotic cultures (\u003ci\u003eThe Ama Girls, Blue Men of Morocco\u003c\/i\u003e). Even Disney's dramatic recreations of historical events (\u003ci\u003eTen Who Dared, Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e) have had their share of educational value. Each of the essays in this volume focuses on a different type of Disney \"edutainment\" film. Together they provide the first comprehensive look at Walt Disney's ongoing mission to inform and enlighten his worldwide audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47602795708567,"sku":"9780786459575","price":2834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786459575.webp?v=1775013005","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/learning-from-mickey-donald-and-walt-essays-on-disneys-edutainment-films-9780786459575","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
