The Queens of Animation Book Discussion and Mouse Ear Craft - CANCELLED In-Person
Yoo-hoo! Adult Disney fans! Do you enjoy reading? What about crafting? If your answer is yes to both, then join us for a magical evening as we discuss The Queens of Animation: The Untold Story of the Women Who Transformed the World of Disney and Made Cinematic History by Nathalia Holt, and make our own mouse ear headbands.
This program is intended for adults. Registration is required. Copies of the book will be available at the JCL-Northwest Information Desk about one month before the program. Note that the book does contain scenes of domestic and child abuse.
Book description from Goodreads:
In The Queens of Animation, bestselling author Nathalia Holt recounts the dramatic stories of an incredibly influential group of women who have slipped under the radar for decades but have touched all our lives. These women infiltrated the all-male domain of Disney Studios and used early technologies to create the rich artwork and iconic storylines that would reach millions of viewers across generations. Over the decades--while battling sexism, domestic abuse, and workplace harassment--these women also fought to influence the way female characters are depicted to young audiences.
Based on extensive interviews and exclusive access to archival and personal documents, The Queens of Animation tells the story of their vital contribution to Disney's golden age and their continued impact on animated filmmaking, culminating in the record-shattering Frozen, Disney's first female-directed full-length feature film.
