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.

Papa: You just read this to Scoutie for the first time. It's been a long time since you read it, though, so what did you think?
Brontë: I thought it was cheesy, but I liked it. I think Scout liked it too.
Papa: How could you tell?
Brontë: Because she stayed there the whole time. She usually doesn't when I read to her. It's really weird when they say "Run, Remy! Run" or something like that. I guess it's because I am older.
Papa: You think?
Brontë: Yeah.
Papa: Why?
Brontë: When I was little I liked, and now to me it is just kind of cheesy, and it's because it is supposed to be a little kid book.
Papa: So Scout likes it because she's a little kid? Or she likes it because she loves you and you read it to her?
Brontë: Yeah, I think that's why, because she loves me.
Papa: She does love you. No doubt about that. What are you going to read her next?
Brontë: Hmmm ... See Pip Point, if I can find it.
Papa: That's a cool one.
Brontë: I like it too.

Simplified version of the movie.

A cute and self-standing short take on Act 1 of the movie. This one actually makes sense as a story - some of these movie spinoff books don't actually have beginnings, conflict, and resolution.

Title: Run, Remy, Run! (Ratatouille Series : A Step into Reading Book: Step 1)
Author: Kitty Richards, Disney Storybook Artists (Illustrator)
Publisher: Random House Childrens Books, 32 pp, 2007
Format: Early Reader (Beginning reader, *2007)
Audience: Children, ages 4 to 6
Description: Remy is a rat that has dreams of becoming a chef. He’s not like the other rats because he watches TV and walks on two feet. He gets lost in the city of Paris and comes across a kitchen. He sees a boy who tries to make seem but it is quite awful. Can Remy save the day?
Personal Review: This early reader book does a good job of recreating a small part of story of the movie Ratatouille. Run, Remy, Run reminds me of the movie Forest Gump with Tom Hanks. Remy is either running, climbing or cooking and trying to stay out of trouble. He finds his chance to make his dreams come true when he comes across a kitchen and a big pot of soup. Even though I had watched the movie, this book in the series finds a way to make the story relatively new and exciting for the beginning readers. This book is designed for Step 1 Ready to Read Preschool to Kindergarten children. It does a good job of allowing the eager reader to get excited about beginning to read. The story is simple but endearing and children will be drawn to reading and looking at the colorful illustrations.
Citation of two critical sources:
Marilyn Courtot’s Children’s Literature review mentions how this early reader book reminds her that it does a good job of encapsulating the basic story elements of the movie Ratatouille. I found this review to be effective and helpful in my assessment of the material as it pointed out that the book has illustrations that provide excellent support in helping to decode some of the words.
The School Library Journal’s review mentions how the story of this early reader is barebones and misses some of the key points of the story in the movie; Remy’s struggles of being different and his relationship with Linguini. I found that this review pointed out a significant hole in the story of the early reader book and also that the text is limited to a few words per a page.

Synopsis: "Under tables, over carts, and through the dining hall—Remy the rat is on the run! But will this furry fan of fine foods get caught? Find out in this action-packed Step 1 reader based on the film Ratatouille!"
My Review: This was a great book for beginning readers. We have seen the movie Ratatouille, but the style of the book is so different it doesn't feel like you are just reading the movie in print. The sentences are simple as are the words (in fact this is the first book the Munchkin has actually participated in reading, and sounding out the word 'soup').

This book was read for Wesley’s summer reading club. Wesley is my (soon to be five year old) son. This review is what we used for his reading club.

Wesley loves the movie and liked this book a great deal.

This is a good early reader with great use of easy words and fun pictures. The story is a bare outline though and was difficult for my daughter to follow as she has not seen ratatouille / we will try it again when she has watched it.
January 23, 2017
Simple short phrases with lots of repetition. The story it's self is a very basic version of the movie. It introduces the reader to Remy then follows him to the restaurant up to where he makes the soup.
Young fans of the movie and early readers with enjoy this book.
