3

7!!!This book contains examples of the following tropes:
8
9* AmusementParkOfDoom: The book reveals that Ride/WaltDisneyWorld's accidents are twice the industry average.
10* CharacterActionTitle: Past-tense and with the synecdoche of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse to stand in for [[Creator/{{Disney}} The Walt Disney Company]] as a whole.
11* ManipulativeEditing: The author has been roundly criticized by Media Matters for America as having "a disreputable history of reporting marked by errors and retractions", with numerous reporters excoriating him for facts that "do not check out", sources that "do not exist", and a basic failure to practice "Journalism 101". Thus, the book should be most probably be taken with more than a pinch of salt.
12%% * MoralGuardians: The authors come across this way in some of the less horrifying chapters, such as when they're complaining about Disney owning companies that distribute R-rated films.
