A window into how America interprets the world
Disneyland is more valued than ever for its art. The theme park is also revealing how America interprets the world and itself.
Stepping into Disneyland is like stepping into a fantasy storybook. New Orleans Square has a version of a swashbuckling South, with pirates, ghouls and drooping Spanish moss. Frontierland is a take on the Wild West, with the rush for gold and saloons. Tomorrowland is a vision of a retro-fantastic future, which shows thriving US colonies.

The case for art
Disneyland and other theme parks are becoming more an obsession for adults than for children.
Disneyland is full of design that doesn't draw attention to itself. It is architected so that every design choice reinforces the story around it. Every part is designed to carefully match the mood of the place, from the pastel paints on the buildings or floor tiles to the plant life and bins. Yet few people notice this as it is part of the park's romance.

The current reputation of Disneyland
The internet has allowed new creators to document Disneyland and its history and culture.
Conversely, Disney's cultural dominance and corporate practices have sparked anti-Disney sentiment. However, it is still possible to separate art and artists from the larger corporate culture. The work of the Imagineers that designed the place to their fancy had nothing to do with its corporate decisions.

An evolving symbol in line with modern values
Another major looming question around Disneyland is what it chooses to represent, and how.
Disneyland continues to scrub its depictions of the world, such as supposedly family-friendly fantasies and depictions of indigenous African people that they suggest were cannibals. Another is the Splash Mountain log flume, based on the 1946 film Song Of The South, which had racist depictions of black people.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
