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.
I came across this book in the Little Free Library near my house and thought it looked like an interesting, quick read. I never really watched the show, but had a vague idea of its premise going in.
This book was well-written. The descriptions were fun, interesting, and really helped the reader visualize what's happening. It is filled with a good amount of detail and I can easily see these shenanigans happening in the show.
The book includes two stories, similar to the layout of an episode of a show. I found both entertaining, especially splitting each story into Phineas and Ferb's adventures and Agent P's missions.
There are also black-and-white stills from the show that have good clarity (unlike so many other books that use blurry pictures) and they really help set the scene and break up the text.
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would having not watched the show. Great read for young readers that are ready for medium-length chapters.
It's pretty much the tv series in book form. My kids love this show, so my son picked this book up from the library to be his reader. It worked well, increased his reading and vocabulary, and was just all the characters you know and love.
My son and I love Phineas and Ferb and he and I have begun reading these small chapter books based on the show together. We use them to point out the "sight" words or spelling words they are studying in school, he likes to then use the highlight function on his kindle and notate them.
I love these books, as much as I love the show. I think that children should read On my way! and use their imaginations more as well, just like Phineas and Ferb do. By coming out with the books this allows them to not just sit in front of a tv screen to enjoy the wonderful world of P & F and see what is going on in Danville today.
I cannot lie-I occasionally watch Phinneas and Ferb with my little brother, so reading this book was no problem for me. Candace and Perry are after the same camera for various reasons. It is almost considered science fiction because of some of the characters. Kids who love the show will not be able to put the book down.
Just like the cartoon only more descriptive. My kids found this one (the first we've read together) fascinating and loved the pictures. I even learned some new things that I had missed during the million cartoons I've watched.
