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.

Topolino 3641: Pluto meritava di meglio

hermio

Come rovinare una celebrazione? Basta chiedere a Panini: per festeggiare Pluto, gli mettono… le pulci. Sì, avete capito bene. E in più ci rifilano una storia sugli aquiloni che non è neanche una storia. Risultato: l’unica cosa degna di nota resta la copertina con Pluto e il gadget (venduto, ovviamente, non omaggio).

Per il resto, un numero fiacco fatto di idee riciclate o di racconti che sarebbe stato meglio non leggere.

In sintesi:
Pluto non meritava questo trattamento, e neppure i lettori.

1. Pluto e l’amico invisibile → una pulce parlante al fianco del nostro cane preferito. Ridicolo.
2. Filo & Amelia consulenti finanziari → almeno un po’ di brio, anche se nulla di memorabile.
3. In science we trust – Destinazione Bosonia! → la saga più noiosa che ci rifilano ogni settimana. Basta.
4. Paperoga & il giorno degli aquiloni sbagliati → morale filosofica forzatissima sugli aquiloni. Inutile.
5. Le Giovani Marmotte e l’isola perduta → dinosauri erbivori su un’isola nascosta. Banalissima.

Nel dettaglio:

1. Pluto e l’amico invisibile
Storia di Francesco Artibani
Disegni di Lorenzo Pastrovicchio
Se questo è il modo di celebrare Pluto, meglio lasciar perdere la festa. Topolino e Pippo indossano vecchi costumi “vintage”, ma a far compagnia al cane è… una pulce parlante. Così tanto amore per Pluto che gli regalano un parassita. Una storiella assurda che alterna momenti ridicoli a un finale ancor più improbabile.

2. Filo & Amelia consulenti finanziari
Storia di Giovanni Eccher
Disegni di Marco Mazzarello
Finalmente qualcosa di leggibile: Filo e Amelia si alleano contro Paperone. Lei prova a spacciarsi per consulente finanziaria, ma Paperone non cade nella trappola. Nulla di memorabile, ma si lascia leggere.

3. In science we trust – Destinazione Bosonia!
Storia di Giovanni “Gianni” Barbieri
Disegni di Cristian Canfailla
La solita saga pseudo-scientifica che ormai esce tutte le settimane. Storie ripetitive, confuse, senza trama, con personaggi irrilevanti che girano a vuoto. Riempitivo allo stato puro: basta, davvero.

4. Paperoga & il giorno degli aquiloni sbagliati
Storia di Roberto Gagnor
Disegni di Francesco Guerrini
Sembra che chi ha scritto la storia ha appena letto Il cacciatore di aquiloni. Paperoga fa volare aquiloni che non volano mai, con tanto di morale filosofica da quattro soldi sul “rialzarsi per tornare a volare”. Semplicemente ridicolo.

5. Le Giovani Marmotte e l’isola perduta
Storia di Pat & Carol McGreal
Disegni di Giorgio Cavazzano
Importata dall’estero, dove poteva tranquillamente rimanere. Qui, Qui, Qua approdano con le Giovani Marmotte su un’isola nascosta, popolata da dinosauri diventati erbivori. Tutto fila liscio, tutti contenti, mentre il lettore… sbadiglia.

Verdetto:
Un numero che non rende giustizia a Pluto né al lettore. Troppi riempitivi, troppe scelte sbagliate. Solo il gadget salva la faccia.
