If you are expecting scandalous, juicy gossip; this is not that. Instead, it fuelled my nostalgia curiosity.
I am on a behind-the-scenes non-fiction binge at the moment and learning about Disney’s rise was incredibly interesting.
This shed light on our favourite shows and their conception, casting, doubts, hiccups, where that led the child stars.
You will recognise a lot of the child stars’ names, you will know perhaps some of the the executive and directors, you will definitely appreciate the impact and influence Disney had on Millennials, Gen Z, heck, even older audiences who crave that comfort.
This is completely accessible and told in a tone that would make it palatable for even non-fiction newbies or avoidants.
This didn’t cover darker secrets or cover-ups such as sexual assault etc and I think this was a deliberate decision. This makes this book more accessible to more people, it doesn’t dig into sore topics and bring up trauma for these stars, and doesn’t risk allegations or speculation.
This was a more positive look at Disney overall (in complete contrast to Careless People which I am also currently reading absolutely dragging Facebook), more based on the shows and the stars’ trajectory. Child friendly.

Enjoyed the nostalgic listen and learning little tid bits about how the Disney channel empire came to be. Would have been happy with even more detail and info!

I really enjoyed this audio book, and Lalaine did a great job with the narration. I stopped watching the Disney Channel somewhere in the midst of seasons of "That's so Raven" (I aged out). I thought I would loose interest in the book after the shows I watched were talked about, but I continued to find the material engaging and concise. I was even curious enough to watch an episode of Hannah Montana and The Wizards of Waverly Place, but I quickly realized I am just too old to enjoy it. I watched an episode of "Lizzie McGuire" and I can't decide if it's actually better than the aforementioned shows or if it is mostly the allure of nostalgia.
