Stunned by The Mouse

I read most of the book with my mouth open. Informative. Well written. Shocking. A little too much in the way of scripture quotes, but there are also many quotes by Walt Disney, himself. The book gave a clear picture of why Catholics and Protestants alike are coming out against Disney. In a world where the lines between religious conscience and social pleasure are blurred daily, this book is not just a criticism of Disney, but actually an indictment of the entire Hollywood structure that so many people of faith seem to embrace - blindly. The author must get a lot of flack for writing this book, but I think he knew that going in. And after reading the entire book, I found myself enraged that Disney decieves.

FROM A CURRENT DISNEY EMPLOYEE

I hated this book. It was that good. I personally checked on every fact, quote, and reference and found all of them accurate and shocking. The author could have, though, left out all of the bible verses. That was a bit overkill.

A great revelation of what Hollywood has become

When I first started reading Mr. Feraiuolo's book I thought it was just a simple no-brainer - a commentary that any 5th grader would grasp. But when I fnished it I was stunned. After years of supporting the Disney cause (I work for Disney) I used this book to determine, good or bad, if it was truthful and accurate. I measured the book's portrayal of Disney with my own insider's experience and access. What I found was simply an eye-opener. Everything the author reports is true, and Disney's anti-Christian demeanor is getting worse. The gay thing is the ONLY thing at Disney that isn't fair game. I heard from Disney's own pr people that this book was a tiny ripple and that the Disney empire would not even feel its impact. I think that's true. But the real sense is this: What do you do when you know the truth about Disney. I have supported myself at Disney for years and am thankful for the position there, but what do you do when you learn the truth? I wish the author could ! have put the answer to that question in his book. I imagine, though, that Mr. Feraiuolo will be getting deluged by nasty hate mail for doing this book. He's a lot braver than I.

"When the American public wakes up to what Disney is doing, they are going to be very offended

One of the best investigative books out there

Ferraiuolo takes Disney to task and rightly so. In his book he continually presents an accusatory argument agaginst Disney, then PROVES it with heavy footnoting and quotes from Disney empoloyees and film and family experts. The book starts slow, but ends with a punch so hard that, if you read it, will change your view of Disney altogether. it is that well done. What a read! Masterful
