Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World Paperback - 1998 - 1st Edition
by Carl Hiaasen
Bestselling author Carl Hiaasen smells a rat in the Disneyfication of contemporary culture. Hiaasen takes an unflinching look at the Disney monolith, which he argues is destroying the ecology, creating an unhealthy environment (physically and morally), has taken over the media, ruined Florida, New York, Southern California, and France and has its eyes on the rest of the world.
From the jacket flap
"Disney is so good at being good that it manifests an evil; so uniformly efficient and courteous, so dependably clean and conscientious, so unfailingly entertaining that it's unreal, and therefore is an agent of pure wickedness. . . . Disney isn't in the business of exploiting Nature so much as striving to improve upon it, constantly fine-tuning God's work."
--from TEAM RODENT TEAM RODENT
How Disney Devours America "Revulsion is good. Revulsion is healthy. Each of us has limits, unarticulated boundaries of taste and tolerance, and sometimes we forget where they are. Peep Land is here to remind us; a fixed compass point by which we can govern our private behavior. Because being grossed out is essential to the human experience; without a perceived depravity, we'd have nothing against which to gauge the advance or decline of culture; our art, our music, our cinema, our books. Without sleaze, the yardstick shrinks at both ends. Team Rodent doesn't believe in sleaze, however, nor in old-fashioned revulsion. Square in the middle is where it wants us all to be, dependable consumers with predictable attitudes. The message, never stated but avuncularly implied, is that America's values ought to reflect those of the Walt Disney Company, and not the other way around."
