The Mouse Machine (University of Illinois Press, 2008), Jay Telotte's book on Disney and technology, has been published in Japanese. Japan, (and southeast Asia), is a hot market for Disney and a center for animation work and technology.
Telotte is Interim Chair and Professor in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture. In The Mouse Machine, he focuses on how Disney's use of cutting-edge film and media technologies have proven fundamental to the company's identity and its growth in to an entertainment powerhouse.
Telotte has a new book expected to publish in April. Animating Space will focus on animation.
