Dissertation, 2014.
Tracing the always present spirit of Walt Disney in the animated films of the Michael Eisner era (1984-2004) try to define and analyze the characteristics, both with respect to the creative process and in the definition of contingut, integrated into the classic originals of Disney by, then, demonstrating that these will be recovered and implemented again after the death of Walt Disney -with their adaptations- by donating a place to a second age of animation.

Walt Disney (1901-1966) is one of the most important figures in the history of cinema, but also he may also be one of the most criticized. Adjectives referring to Disney in their different forms (‘Japanese Disney’, ‘Asian Disney’, ‘Disney from the Orient’, etc.), have also been applied to the analysis of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki (1941-). Disney’s legacy has been reviewed and examined through different theoretical lenses derived from cultural studies and film criticism. In contrast, scholarship and cultural criticism have decoded Miyazaki’s works in terms of auteurism. These approaches also emphasize similarities based on high quality of production and individual signatures while differentiating between ideological and cultural readings of each author’s legacy. In this construction of what has been referred to as 'anti-Disney', the most common strategies of classical auteurism act together, including the mythical construction of the creator’s persona through cultural criticism and other film paratexts. In order to better understand the role of authorship in animation, a distinction between brand, style and creator’s persona is suggested.

Walt Disney stands in relation to the twentieth century as the Brothers Grimm did to the nineteenth century. Disney took their work, and the writings of numerous other authors, and retold their tales through animation and film with such consummate skill that they became the modern definitive versions. As in the case of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney also reshaped the stories to reflect his vision of American values.

From 1940 until his death in 1966, Walt Disney served as a secret informer for the Los Angeles office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to documents that have come to light under the Freedom of Information Act.
