Disney Parks
Disney's parks have their own fandom.
A common complaint among parks fans is the company's current stronger focus on representing their intellectual properties in the parks, instead of original creations.
Disney as religion
Religious studies scholar Robert Orsi considers religion “a network of relationships between heaven and earth involving people of all ages as well as the different sacred figures they hold dear” and that religious practices “intensify joy and confront suffering.”[1] According to religious studies professor Jodi Eichler-Levine, this applies what Disney fans experience in parks and on TV. She also notes that scholars has been looking into the relation between Disney and religion since at least the 1980s.[2]
