The One with Disney

On this episode of Entertainment Education: The Podcast - The One with Disney, we explore how Disney’s iconic storytelling principles, like “show, don’t tell” and transformative character arcs, don’t just entertain, but also educate, inspire, and shape classroom experiences. We’ll talk about everything from how Disney fandom can become a powerful academic and professional pursuit, to the evolving role of Disney’s cultural messaging now that it owns powerhouses like Marvel and Star Wars. Plus, we'll hear about our guests' latest projects and how they bring a bit of Disney magic into their everyday teaching. My ride buddies for the evening are Dr. Rebecca Rowe, Professor and Editor of International Journal of Disney Studies, and Dr. Priscilla Hobbs, Associate Dean and author.
