Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World

Written by Carl Hiaasen

Narrated by Richard Gilliland

Carl Hiaasen doesn't like the Walt Disney Company. A native of Florida, Hiaasen comes by his dislike for Disney honestly. He has witnessed the relentless success of the Disney machine firsthand with the development of Disney World and other properties around Orlando. In Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World, Hiaasen paints a witty and sarcastic portrait of a company that can control the press, manipulate local governments, and—because it's Disney—get away with it. Entertaining and enlightening, Team Rodent takes a critical view of the Disney corporate giant, tracing its destructive impact on the environment, American culture, and the world.
