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.

Some foolish rat, well, just a children story. Nice theme -- have a passion and somehow realize it --, but story telling is not very good.

January 30, 2026When I read the novellas in the Twisted Tale Anthology, I also watched any media associated with the original stories. In the anthology, I read "Et Voila." I am using this page as overflow. Official junior novelization was not actually read
Before reading, I watched the following movies:
Ratatouille
Your Friend the Rat
I also watched the movie commentary by Dylan is in Trouble.
Summaries to compare are below.
Ratatouille
Pixar movies are always amazing! So glad there are twisted tales coming out for some
- Points out very important lessons. “Anyone CAN. Don’t mean anyone SHOULD. But he will try”
- Makes one point than goes back on it later
- Remy thinks he’s better than the rest of the colony just for the type of food he prefers to eat
- Liguini messed up the soup, caught remy the same time head chef saw linguini with a ladle. coincidence mixed with remy can’t learn his lesson
- Every character has a different accent
- Linguinis clumsiness but trying to be serious attitude is hilarious
- The training montage 😂😂😂
- The head chefs are mad that they’re getting more buzz and foot traffic??
- Just because linguini lost his hat (which means Remy too), remy thinks it’s ok to steal again. But at least this time he found the will
- Linguini lets the press build his ego. Remy gets back at him and tries to steal basically the entire pantry
- All the rats are good cooks just by listening to remy’s directions?
- Geustaeu’s was shut down. New restaurant with lines out the door and ego is a regular
Dylan is in Trouble movie commentary of Ratatouille
- surprisingly violent for a g rated movie
- remy fixes a BIG pot of sour with 4 basil leaves and a rat sized handful of pepper... is that really enough?
- how do they sanitize??
Your Friend the Rat
I was fascinated by all the facts. They may not all actually be true, but the way they were delivered… 🤌
- dogs look up to, cats look down on, rats seem equal
- Humans think the plague was started by a rat. A flea gave it to a rat
- Norwegian rats came from China?
- Teeth can chew 24k lbs per square inch. Swim for 3 days. 15k descendants in a year. Survived atomic bombs
- Used in experiments because biology is the same
- Breaking the fourth wall

March 13, 2024March 2024: My almost-5-year-old son loves this novelization so much. He listens to it every night before bed (and at various points of the day) and he and my 3-year-old reenact scenes. It makes me so happy. ❤️

Cute book about a rat that just wants to be a chef. He is able to do this with the help of his human friend and together they create a meal called Ratatouille. Nice book version of the movie.

Vì mình rất thích phim nên đã quyết định mua cuốn này và thật sự thì đây chỉ là một góc nhìn rộng hơn tí xíu để có thể thấy suy nghĩ cảm xúc của các nhân vật, còn lại thì đều không khác biệt mấy so với phim.

This novelization of the movie was actually pretty good. Sierra really liked it at first, the middle part she was a little bored and she ended up liking the end. She felt proud when we finished it.

April 27, 2021لم أقرأ الكتاب لكنني شاهدت الفيلم عشرات المرات. لا أملّ منه كما لا أملّ أبدا من كوب شوكولا ساخن بعد يوم شاق و بارد. أعتبر هذا الفيلم كوبا من الشوكولا اللذيذة أتناوله كلما أحتاج للهروب من التعب..
