StockID: 123439 SKU: JUL242069
The inside story of the inner workings-and ultimate breakdown-of the Disney Channel machine. For many kids growing up in the 2000s- there was no cultural touchstone more powerful than Disney Channel. At its peak- Disney Channel was the most-watched cable channel in primetime- generating billions of dollars from its related movies- albums- merchandise- and more. Today- it might best be known for introducing the world to talents like Hilary Duff- Raven-Symoné- Zac Efron- Miley Cyrus- Selena Gomez- the Jonas Brothers- Demi Lovato- and Zendaya. It wasn't always destined for greatness: when The Disney Channel launched in 1983- it was a forgotten stepchild within the Walt Disney Company- forever in the shadow of Disney's more profitable movies and theme parks. But after letting the stars of their Mickey Mouse Club revival - among them Britney Spears- Justin Timberlake- Christina Aguilera- and Ryan Gosling - slip through their fingers- Disney Channel reinvented itself as a powerhouse tween network. In the new millennium- it churned out original content and triple-threat stars whose careers were almost entirely controlled by the corporation. Suddenly- everyone wanted a piece of the pie-and there were constant clashes between the studio- network- labels- and creatives as Disney Channel became a pressure cooker of perfection for its stars. From private feuds and on-set disasters to fanfare that swept the nation and the realities of child stardom- culture journalist Ashley Spencer offers the first unauthorized look at the heyday of TV's House of Mouse- featuring hundreds of exclusive new interviews with former Disney executives- creatives- and talent to explore the highs- lows- and everything in between.
