Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.
Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.
Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.
The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

Important parts from movie were summarized but very busy short story.

It was very choppy and really took the heart of the story away. I get it’s a small book, it can only contain so much of the story, but still it felt like a lot of important parts were missed. I still like Aladdin’s story, I liked reading this mini version of it and seeing which scenes they did choose to include. I just found it probably could have still been a bit better.
(Not the version I read, but is the only I can find similar, so it’ll do)

My favorite princess of all time!! I love this story and the pictures are of course so beautiful. It was funny how in the beginning they were very clear about how Aladdin wanted to end his thieving days so as to not morally confuse the young audience. No notes, Aladdin stays perfect.

It’s a good summary of the movie. I had Robin Williams’ voice in my head throughout.

September 2, 2016Aladdin in my opinion is an ok book I wouldn't go as far to say great. It's not terrible either though. It's a classic story good guy wants the girl. Bad guy tries to kill good guy, bad guy fails.
WARNING!!! Their will be spoilers!
This story takes place in a vast Arabian desert in a Arabian village called Agrabah. Which is ruled by a sultan.
The protagonist is a poor street rat named Aladdin. With his best friend Abu he lives in a abandond building and must steal to eat. But even with his own unfortunate living conditions if he sees someone who is in more need than him he will help anyway he can. Even if it means giving away his meal.
The antagonist in the story is jafar. A scorcorrer who is very powerful but wants to be even stronger and rule Agrabah. He uses hypnosis to manipulate the sultan into doing whatever he commands him to. The ultimate goal of jafar is to get the lamp that contains the genie. Which will give him ultimate power.
The conflict of this story is jafar wants the genie in his control but he isn't able to obtain the genie him self he needs someone who is worthy of entering the cave of wonders! That's where Aladdin comes in. He is the only one who can obtain it but he learns of Jafars plan and doesn't give him the lamp. This leads jafar and Aladdin to be in conflict with one another through out the story.
The rising action begins when Aladdin wishes to become a prince so he can win the princess Jasmine's heart. While he is wooing the princess jafar is making plans of his own. To kill Aladdin so he can marry the princess jasmine. But his plan fails and Aladdin exposes the lies of jafar to the sultan and princess jasmine. After this Jafars only chance is to steal the lamp from Aladdin.
Jafars parrot iago steals the lamp for jafar and as the sultan is about to marry his daughter jasmine to the street rat/ prince Aladdin, jafar comes out of no where wearing the sultans clothes. He had made a wish to the genie to make him sultan and so genie dos what his master had commanded him to do. When everyone refused to bow to him he wished to be the most powerful sorcerer and he zapped Aladdin all the way to a snowy part of the world, jasmine became Jafars slave, and he turned the sultan into a puppet.
Then all of a sudden Aladdin came into the castle he made it back by the magic carpet he befriended in the cave of wonders. After a battle between jafar and Aladdin jafar questioned the street rat." Saying did you really think you could beat the most powerful being in the universe?!" But Aladdin surprised him. By stating that he wasn't the stringing being in the universe genie was and he could make him just as powerful. So Jafars third wish was to be a genie.
The resolution happend When jafar became a genie he gained unlimited power but with the consequences. Just like genie he had to be imprisoned in a lamp and answer to who ever shall find the lamp.
The denouement began when Aladdin wished for genie to be free and the sultan passed a law saying that the princess could marry who ever she shall like and she marred Aladdin and they lived happily ever after.
The secondary characters in This story are jasmine the princess, the sultan, genie, iago, the guards of the palace, Abu, and the magic carpet,
A memorable quote from this story for me would be a like from Aladdin him self saying "someday it'll be better than this. Just you wait!"
Finally my overall assessment of the book is decent I would most likely read it again

Can never go wrong with Aladdin
February 8, 2017
This is the type of book I prayed NOT to encounter when baby-sitting. Due to the popularity of the mind-numbing collection of animated movies Disney published a series of books taken based on their films. Children, enamored with these movies, often choose such reading material for bed-time story hour. I confess to skipping large portions of the text and moving on to a "real" book.

Upeasti toteutettu satukirja Aladdinista. Tammi on julkaissut uutta Satuhetki-kirjat -sarjaa, johon tämäkin kirja kuuluu. Odotan innolla sarjan muita osia, sillä tämä Aladdin lukukokemuksena lupailee hyvää luettavaa jatkossakin!
Meidän perhe innostuu aina uusista, laadukkaista kirjasarjoista - Tammelta niitä voi odottaa jatkossakin.

Fascination with Aladin started early on with the book of sounds. Can't find it at the moment. This is much longer and involved and belongs to the library.

I'm not sure why, I just didn't click with this comic version of the classic story. I am thinking of trying a different Disney story, I just wasn't a fan of how they tried to sum everything up here.
