For fans of Disney Twisted Tales and Serena Valentino's Villains comes the next book of the Disney Prince Young Adult series.
Prince Phillip tells his side of Disney's Sleeping Beauty where once upon a dream was just the beginning...
Prince Phillip’s known from a young age that his destiny has already been decided for him by his father, King Stefan. His job is to smile and wave for the crowd and ride off into the sunset with his predetermined fiancé, Princess Aurora, after her curse is lifted on her sixteenth birthday. But just days before Aurora’s birthday party, Phillip experiences a strange burst of magic, and three fairies tell him that he is part of a prophecy set to defeat Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil. Suddenly Phillip feels as if he has a choice—maybe magic can be the freedom he has been looking for.
Although, having magic and working with fairies to retrieve powerful ancient artifacts would be much more enjoyable if he didn’t have to deal with her every night, a girl named Briar Rose who appears in his dreams on the other side of a mystical thorn maze. Phillip doesn’t know how he can be so annoyed by a person he can’t even see but having to hear the mysterious maiden’s laughs and jabs at him every time he goes to sleep is worse than any nightmare. But Phillip is starting to realize that Briar Rose isn’t so different from himself, and maybe they can change both of their fates one dream at a time.
Redécouvrez les histoires classiques de Disney, du point de vue des princes !
Avant que les parents du prince Eric ne disparaissent deux ans plus tôt, ils lui ont rappelé les détails de la malédiction qui l'a accablé toute sa vie : s’il embrassait la mauvaise fille, il mourrait. Pour cette raison, le prince Eric s'oblige à contrecœur à couper les ponts avec son premier amour afin de les protéger tous les deux. Peu après la disparition mystérieuse de ses parents, Eric découvre une prophétie cachée qui pourrait lui donner les indices dont il a besoin pour briser sa malédiction pour de bon. Il se lance alors dans une quête pour trouver l'indice, briser la malédiction, sauver le royaume, et peut-être découvrir ce qui est arrivé à ses parents en cours de route. Sera-t-il capable de briser son enchantement, ou va-t-il être définitivement lié à son destin ?

Un livre qui retrace l'histoire de Mineral King resort, un projet de Walt Disney en Californie du Sud qui ne verra finalement jamais le jour (septembre 2023) :
Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was de Greg Glasgow et Kathryn Mayer (Rowman & Littlefield, 2023)
Description de l'éditeur : A fascinating look at Walt Disney's last, unfinished project and the controversy that surrounded it. It was going to be Disneyland at the top of a mountain. A vacation destination where guests could ski, go ice skating, or be entertained by a Disney Imagineer-created band of Audio-Animatronic bears. In the summer, visitors could fish, camp, hike, or take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of a mountain. It was the Mineral King resort in Southern California, and it was Walt Disney's final passion project. But there was one major obstacle to Walt's dream: the growing environmentalist movement of the 1960s. In Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was, Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer provide an unprecedented look inside the Mineral King saga, from its origins at the 1960 Winter Olympics to the years-long environmental fight that eventually shut the development down. The fight, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, reshaped the environmental movement and helped to put in place long-reaching laws to protect nature. Although the court battle, coupled with Walt's death in 1966, meant the end for the Mineral King resort, the ideas and planning behind it have permeated throughout the Walt Disney company and the ski tourism industry in ways that are still seen today. With firsthand interviews and behind-the-scenes details, Disneyland on the Mountain offers incredible access to a part of Disney history that hasn't been thoroughly explored before, including Walt's love of nature, how the company changed after Walt's death, and of course, the story of Mineral King. It's a tale of man versus nature, ambition versus mortality, and how a gang of scrappy environmentalists took on one of America's most beloved companies.
Ainsi que la réédition cet été de Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse : the Ultimate Story dans un format dérivé de l'édition XXL, comme l'a été Les Archives des films Walt Disney : Les films d'animation 1921-1968 en début d'année, au tarif de 60 € (format intermédiaire 25 x 35 cm, tout en conservant sa pagination originale). Une édition française devrait suivre à l'automne.
La version française est désormais disponible au format XL. Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage est toujours disponible en français dans les deux formats précédents (XXL et collection du 40ème anniversaire).
Je savais le groupe Amazon en difficulté, mais je ne m'attendais pas à cela

Dawn at Mineral King Valley: The Sierra Club, the Disney Company, and the Rise of Environmental Law de Daniel P. Selmi (University of Chicago Press, 2022).
Description de l'éditeur : The story behind the historic Mineral King Valley case, which reveals how the Sierra Club battled Disney's ski resort development and launched a new environmental era in America.
In our current age of climate change-induced panic, it's hard to imagine a time when private groups were not actively enforcing environmental protection laws in the courts. It wasn't until 1972, however, that a David and Goliath-esque Supreme Court showdown involving the Sierra Club and Disney set a revolutionary legal precedent for the era of environmental activism we live in today.
Set against the backdrop of the environmental movement that swept the country in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dawn at Mineral King Valley tells the surprising story of how the US Forest Service, the Disney company, and the Sierra Club each struggled to adapt to the new, rapidly changing political landscape of environmental consciousness in postwar America. Proposed in 1965 and approved by the federal government in 1969, Disney's vast development plan would have irreversibly altered the practically untouched Mineral King Valley, a magnificently beautiful alpine area in the Sierra Nevada mountains. At first, the plan met with unanimous approval from elected officials, government administrators, and the press--it seemed inevitable that this expanse of wild natural land would be radically changed and turned over to a private corporation. Then the scrappy Sierra Club forcefully pushed back with a lawsuit that ultimately propelled the modern environmental era by allowing interest groups to bring litigation against environmentally destructive projects.
An expert on environmental law and appellate advocacy, Daniel P. Selmi uses his authoritative narrative voice to recount the complete history of this revolutionary legal battle and the ramifications that continue today, almost 50 years later.

Hachette Heroes a écrit:
Sally Skellington est devenue officiellement la nouvelle Reine des Citrouilles après son union avec son véritable amour, Jack. Mais si Sally adore Jack de tout son être de tissu, elle ne peut en dire autant de son nouveau rôle de reine de la ville d’Halloween. Se retrouvant sous le feu des projecteurs et devant faire face à toute sorte de tâches incombant à la reine, elle ne peut s’empêcher de se demander si elle n’a pas échangé une captivité contre une autre, aussi dorée soit-elle. Mais quand, avec Zéro, elle découvre accidentellement une porte longtemps cachée menant à un ancien royaume appelé la ville des Rêves, elle déclenche sans le savoir une série d’événements sinistres qui mettront en péril son avenir en tant que Reine des Citrouilles et l’avenir de la ville d’Halloween. Sally parviendra-t-elle à découvrir ce que cela signifie d’être fidèle à elle-même et pourra-t-elle sauver la ville qu’elle a appris à appeler sa maison ? Ou son futur se transformera-t-il en son pire cauchemar ?
