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.
Pooh invites Piglet to go fishing with him, but Piglet would rather come along to swim while Pooh fishes. The mildest hijinks ensue.
Might have worked with a little change in pacing and some tweaking of the dialogue.
(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh books my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online. See the reviews here.)
As charming and funny as any of the Winnie the Poohs. Pooh decides to go fishing, but he never has much luck with catching anything so he asks Piglet to go along as a kind of lucky charm. Piglet agrees, but decides to go swimming instead of fishing. I guess Piglet is a good lucky charm, because Pooh makes the biggest catch ever! He reels his rod in, and what does he find on the end? A fish named... Piglet! My words are inadequate to express the delightful pictures and story, but you can never go wrong with Winnie the Pooh, and you won't go wrong here.
I actually laughed out loud at the ending to this story. I knew where it was heading, but it still made me smile especially the twist with the fish. I like how even the title is clever. A very fun book indeed.
I so Love Winnie the Pooh and everything about the Hundred-Acre wood and I can't even describe how much I love Winnie the Pooh art is .. The art is so aesthetically pleasing *Chef's Kiss* 😍
Winnie the Pooh wants to go fishing, but Piglet prefers to go for a swim. Pooh and Piglet are both in for surprise at the end of Pooh’s hook! Cute story with lovable characters, it is short and simple but just enough for babies and young toddlers.
Jack received this book secondhand from the Engel family.
When I first tried to read it, he wanted to be wild. But the next couple times, he sat and listened to the whole story. I think he liked Pooh because he is a bear. Pooh and Piglet have such a sweet friendship.
As an adult, I knew exactly where the story was going. I knew that Pooh would catch Piglet. Although, the ending did make me laugh since I didn’t expect the fish.
