Oml I did it. I finished the disney book
So, this is a THOROUGHLY researched and, at least from my knowledge and feeling, (mostly) unbiased piece of corporate nonfiction. The audiobook reader did well with what he had, and the amount of information, conversations, documents, recordings etc the author had to go through must've been insane.
That said, it's just not for me. Some chapters were interesting, some were so dull and made me roll my eyes at these millionaires acting like entitled babies. This is not the fault of the book, I thought I was getting into something else. If you like petty corporate drama, great. If you want more insight into the artistic direction and decisions of actual Disney movies and animations, you'll get that here and there, but it won't be enough to satisfy. Personally I felt some of the animator's concerns and attitudes were unfairly brushed aside or seen as silly.
It's tough for me to really care about what a bunch of rich white dudes with hundreds of millions complaining about not getting another hundred million, and treating everyone like shit all the while.
I wanted to rate it lower but its not the book or author's fault that the genre and subject matter just isnt for me. I thought I was getting into something else.
