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.
My daughter has been requesting this story every night at bedtime for the last 2 months. She’s obsessed! I wish it were available in paperback as well.
This book involves the cute characters from the movie Inside Out. It is a good book for younger students because they will be more interested in reading something they are familiar with. It is the same thing with putting cartoons on cereal boxes or mac n cheese boxes. Kids are drawn to things they can recognize. The content of this book is a nice way of explaining emotions to the younger audience it is targeted at. They go through each of the emotions and explains their purpose.
This is a short, cute companion to the Inside Out novelization. Each of the emotions that are in the movie//book are featured and explain what they're all about. My nephew giggled as I read each one. Probably because I sounded like a lunatic as I read each one in a different voice.
Okay way to portray emotions. We are emotional beings but it would have been nice to also emphasize the importance of emotions. But overall a fun read for little ones. Strikes plenty of conversation about emotions too.
My kid loves Inside Out so it makes sense they would like this book. I can use it to teach them that everyone reacts differently to things (like camping)
for me when i did try to watch this movie ... i was a bit confused ... i feel the book did help make me understand the characters a bit more??! so cute. great illustrations.
Well done! This boxed set begins with JOY, who is happy about everything, even the rain. SADNESS thinks her toe was stepped on and the only reason she likes rain is because it makes you shivery and droopy. ANGER certainly doesn’t like broccoli on pizza. That just leads to DISGUST who hates stinky thinks and spiders. Well FEAR wants nothing to do with spiders or other scary things. But then JOY tells him those hippos on the nature show are so cute! This box of emotions reveals in simple bold text and bright basic colors the many feelings young children may experience but need help understanding.
For fans of Inside Out, this set of board books allows readers to get to know their favorite Emotion a little bit better. From Anger, Disgust, Fear, Joy and Sadness, each book features one of the Emotions. Readers will find out what makes them happy, sad, fearful, disgusted and angry. Anger wouldn't be happy to know this, but his book had us laughing out loud. We really enjoyed reading each of their books. They may end up being our favorite of the Inside Out Books. These books are also a great way for kids to learn more about each emotion.
A fantastic collection, where each book ends and connects to another in the set. Some of the topics each of the characters was reacting to were a bit obscure and did not get a reaction from the kids, but they were short enough and gripping enough for fans of the movie to want me to read them every book in the set.
A great addition to any collection looking to grow its emotional education section. Could also inspire a great felt board set.
Recommended for kids who already like the movie. Could be read as a set of mini picture books or as easy readers.
Great little boxed set. My kids love the little books and they're a great tool for getting kids to talk about their emotions (a feat with young ones who have trouble articulating that sort of thing). I wish there was a bit more substance to them, though. There's no story and they're so short that there's not a whole lot to work from. Makes a great quick book when you don't have much time or when the kids want "just one more" book.
I am reviewing this book set as a School Counseling resource.
I loved that there was a small book for each character (Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear). The books are cute with lots of pictures. I wish there was more information about regulating emotions—but this set will be a great introduction to my emotions unit.
BTW Amazon sells an adorable Inside Out poster. It’s the center of my counseling office decor!
So much emotion in one tiny box! In this little box set you will find five books-one from each emotion: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust & Fear. I love this set, because you can do different voices while reading with your child. I'll admit I even cracked up reading it to myself...Enjoy!
I used this set of books by Disney from the Movie Inside Out to talk about emotions with my Pre-K class. The books were easy to understand and well worded and illustrated for teaching each of the concepts.
This is a great set to tie into the movie and teach young children about feelings. It's really fun to read and set up well for kids to interact with it. I really like that it shows that one person might have more than one feeling about something.
We got an early review copy of this set and my kids are LOVING it! They beg to read it non-stop. The box and books are quality material too, so I like that it won't get easily beat up!
