The Disney Version: The Life, Times, Art and Commerce of Walt Disney is a 1968 book by Richard Schickel. It is a biography of the life of Walt Disney. It was one of the first polemical books about Disney that it takes a harshly critical view of much of his work. [1]
Reception
Stephen J. Whitfield of Brandeis University wrote that the book was "One of the best studies ever done on American popular culture ... unfailingly, consistently intelligent, and eminently readable" while Pauline Kael described it as "a revealing part of American cultural history."[2]
However, Disney historian Didier Ghez called it "a strange psychological analysis of Walt and his works".[3]
