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.

Honestly i really liked this, even though i read it at 15 and it's below my reading level! It was really simple compared to the other books i read and just relaxing. Super short too so easy to finish in a day.

Another one I listened to with the kids. Quick, enjoyable. Made us want to watch the movie, so we did.

This book is as cute as the movie. Such a great story about parent letting go and child growing up, going on their own. Our family still says some of the favorite lines from this.

This book by Gail Herman is amazining. This book is a really like the movie. Gail Herman did a good job of Making Finding Nemo into a book. This book changes a movie into a book.I really liked reading this book.I think that if you read this book before watching the movie it would be the same thing.

Finding Nemo is a great audio book for anyone who is a fan of the movie. With a complete retelling of the film, its just like listening to the story come to life again. Adam Verner does an excellent job with giving each character an individual voice, as well as, adding sound effects.

Finding Nemo is a great addition for anyone who is a fan of the movie, but this is also a great addition for any child who enjoys fish. Finding Nemo isn't just a great tell about a father trying to find his lost son and not giving up hope from finding him, but it's very informative. You find which species of fish interact with each other, how long a turtle can live, what whales eat and what can leave in the murky ink black depths of the ocean floor.

It is about a fish name nemo and his dad my favorite part of the book is wen he met new fishes and became friends with him i dedicated this book to any person who likes advencher and comedy.

A charming and faithful adaptation of the Finding Nemo movie, the author kept basically everything in from the film and was very well done.
Nemo a little Clownfish defies his father and goes off on his own in the sea and gets into all kinds of adventures and scrapes while his frantic father with a memory defective Regal Blue Tang fish called Dory race to find him before any harm befalls him. At times touching yet funny especially the parts with Dory and loved by both children and adults alike, personally i loved it and think its definitely worth reading whatever your age.

This isn't the exact book I read but it has the same author and about the same pages. I read this book out loud to my 5 year old. She loved it. It was helpful that she already knew the story line and could visualize what I was reading.
