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 saw this at the thrift store and just couldn't pass it up. It's The Lion King (but this was over way, way too soon). I need to rewatch the movie now. JK, I have a lot of work to do. BUT SOON. <3

A lovely book for children and adults. Almost tempted to give it 5. 4½*s

This book was a pretty good and concise rendering of the movie in children's book format. It is always annoying when the children's book and the movie don't match, so that you spend half of story time answering confused children.

Read for me in Norwegian by my beautiful 8-year-old twin nieces as a bedtime story via Skype. I'm the spoiltestest auntie in the world!

I think Simba is the oldest Lion King ever to live. Even before he died he was an ancestor
he is respected by almost every animal of the pridelands so 4 me it is 4

This was my favorite story to hear during bedtime, when my mom or aunt would read to me' but I have never actually read this story myself. I decided it is about high time that I do!
I have always loved the illustrations in this book. The sky and the beautiful colors and details have always entranced and delighted me. The story itself was equally as amazing. I highly enjoy hearing and reading this story. I love the metaphors and how things are phrased in this story. There are so many meaningful points that are trying to get across to readers. It is trying to convey and teach a very important message, Never forget who you are and become who you were always meant be! Such a great story! This will definitively be one tale that I plan to read to my future children.

It was a fun read: like a Reader's Digest condensed version of the movie. In some places, parents may have to explain some awkward things about death to their children. The artwork is typical Disney-beautiful.

A good retelling of the movie complete with decent illustrations. If you are a fan of Lion King books or just have a little one who loves the movie and you want a short version you can read to them, this is probably the best one to get ahold of that I've come across so far.

October 25, 2012

I love all things Disney. Childhood would have been a little darker without Disney. The Lion King was fantastic, and also promoted respect and love for animals. A treat for all the family.

Disney just rocks. The story of these animals and their journey is beautiful. When Mufasa died, I was so sad. But, the responsibility Simba took on was amazing. Very family oriented.
