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.

This is a book of short stories based on Walt Disney movies. My book is falling apart I read it so much as a child. The pictures were great - they were from the movies. This was back when you could only see them in the theatre's. I love this one.

This is a great collection of classic Disney movie and short film stories. There's a great mix of longer and shorter stories.This is a series of collections I got as a kid. I loved them and now my son does too.

May 31, 2021I'm not really sure how I ended up with this. At some point when I was a teenager/young adult, I bought a set of these from an antique store for like $75. I just wanted one (this one, probably) and when I went to check out, she said, "This is part of a set." Little 'ol go-with-the-flow me just bought them all then for way more than I had expected to pay. I picked through them from time to time but never actually read them start to finish. And then I am almost certain I unloaded all of them, as I am wont to do.
But I have this one. And I think I snagged this one at a thrift store within the past five years or so, probably to memorialize my purchase in the past or maybe just because I was excited to buy it for, probably, $1 when I paid $75 as a, like, 17-year-old. So I have it right now, but I've yet to read it again. It's hefty! We'll see how long I hang onto this copy.

First let me say, I apologize to everyone who has been DELUGED with my books in their feeds the past couple days. I've been struck by an unquenchable desire to remember and categorize any book that ever affected me. Apologies all around. BUT...I got this book for $2.00 at a library book sale and it is AWESOME.

Remembered fondly from my own childhood, and now have shared with my own kids. Good times.

All the Disney movies of the time in one book. Spent hours as a kid flipping through, reading here and there and looking at the pictures.
