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.

Who doesn't love Pooh?
I always loved watching Pooh on Saturdays it was a great treat for me yes I know that was the Disney version) I also would read it with my mom and we would make different voices for all the characters. I know what I grew up with was a little different from the books (art wise) but all and all I still have fond memories of Pooh and gang.

One of the classic Pooh stories.
On a very windy day, Pooh and all of the folks of the Hundred Acre woods get blown out of their homes or flooded out.
This is how Owl ends up at Piglet's house and how Piglet ends up living with Pooh.

I love this book and the story of Pooh Bear that it tells. I always loved the original stories and the cartoon on ABC. I loved having this book in my collection and that the ride in Disneyland is based off of this story.

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day by A.A. Milne is a picture book with a recording for children of all ages but probably more likely for children 7 to 10 years old. Basically the story is about the events that occur on windy day in the Hundred Acre Wood to Winnie the Pooh and his friends. I gave the book a 5-star rating because of the characters, plot and great illustrations. The characters were funny and identifiable. The windy rainy day was the villain and the characters in their own way were all the heroes. Because it is a windy day the illustrations did a good job at depicting how the grass, trees and leaves would appear on a windy day. Furthermore, the recording provided emphasis to the what appears in the book. Many of the words that were spoken were written as a child might say it such as “Windsday” for it being a windy day or for it being Wednesday depending on how you the reader looks at it (Milne, 1978). The illustrations also offered perspective. For instance, when Pooh and Piglet were blown up to Owl’s house the illustration places the reader at a point of view as though below the house and it looks like Pooh and Piglet have been blown above the reader. This book along with the recording would definitely be appealing to young readers because the events of the windy day were interesting and made you want to continue to read to see the outcome of the day.

This is one of the many Winnie the Pooh books with a creative story about a bear and his friends. After a many unfortunate events occur for Pooh and his friend Piglet, they find a way to make the best of what they have and become heroes for their inspiring actions. This book is good for children with a longer attention span for it does give a long story, or it would be great for advanced young readers getting ready for chapter books.
The author incorporated many things into the book to make it interesting such as made-up words, bolded text and plenty of dialogue. The book also includes some humor that most young children would pick up on and find entertaining. Although many problems and solutions occur in the story, no morals or lessons stand out. However, Pooh Bear and Piglet's actions in the end of the story are a great example of how to behave for any child.
The illustrations in the story start out with warm, fall colors and a foggy sky as the wind sets in and the first problem begins. The colors then change at night time when Pooh is afraid into darker blues which gives it more of an eery feeling. Then, in the end of the book the sky is a beautiful blue and has no clouds which is symbolic of the end to the troubled days. I think the illustrations in the story give the reader a hint of what is coming in the text and helps to establish the mood.

Milne's classic "Winnie The Pooh" series is widely known and read by many young readers. "Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day" is a great story about Milne's lovable characters during a stormy day. The story is simple and would appeal to young children. This would be a great series to help promote a love of reading. The Blustery Day in particular evokes feelings of love and harmony, and provides a good message for children. When Piglet gives up his house to Owl- after Owl's house was destroyed in the storm- would be a great example of generosity and kindness. The illustrations of this book would be very appealing to young readers. They are well done, with attention to color and detail. The portrayal of actions, like the gusts of wind, provide an exaggerated realism readers can relate to. The illustrations also do a great job at enhancing the story for the reader. Each page is full of large pictures that young children would enjoy studying and watching as the story unfolds. I can personally attest to the likeability of the "Winnie The Pooh" series because I read many of these as a child. Milne's series will always remain a well known classic, great for young readers. I rate this book four stars, and would recommend this book to all parents for young readers.

So much of this one is straight out of Disney's movie. Not the whole movie, just the blustery day and the flooding parts. My favorite line: "Can I fly Piglet next?" For those who have seen the movie hundreds of times (like me), it is fun to read it and try to make your voice somewhat match the voices in the movie.

I liked the bit where the bear likes honey. Didn't really get into the words too much but the pictures were colourful, eye grabbing and a lot of fun. It's also quite funny how he's a pooh bear and it sounds like poo. Would say the book is unsuitable for ages 21 and under due to the bear not wearing any pants the entire time.

One of the better Winnie the pooh stories. Features Tigger's debut, lots of honey and heroism from Pooh and Piglet. Some funny scenes that made my daughter say "honestly", I don't think she sees what all the bother is with strong winds and flooding.
Enjoyed this one and it's a good place to start reading Winnie the Pooh.

I'm not certain how many of Milne's words were used here. This is the Disnified Winnie we have hear . . . replete with the simpleness of the story.
Piglet lets Owl move into his house after Hundred Acre Wood is flooded. Eh.

I liked it because I grew up watching Winnie the Pooh, could still remember Tigger’s song and sang it when I read this to my son. However, he’s 4 and has never seen Winnie the Pooh and thought the book was boring.
