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.
Moana uf por donde empezar. No conocía hasta ahora ninguna historia que hablara sobre la cultura de las islas del pacifico y esta me introdujo tanto en su mitología como en su vida cotidiana, y es supremamente increíble. Me ha encantado de principio a fin el libro, aunque debo añadir que la narrativa que se maneja es muy sencilla ya que es un libro de Disney dirigido a niños. Un plus que veo en el libro y no se hace mucha introducción en la película Aunque la película también se hace un gran espacio, es maravillosa Es las pequeñas historias que se agregan a cada capitulo, que hablan sobre la historia de las islas, algunas hazañas de Maui, etc. Mis favoritas han sido sin duda La historia de Fetuao y las estrellas, que habla sobre como antes solo se navegaba de día y al anochecer, todos se apuraban a regresar a casa. Fetuao empieza a pasear con cada una de las estrellas del cielo y así aprende el camino para navegar por la noche. Y La historia de las hermanas viento, un divertido relato sobre las cuatro hijas del viento; Este, Norte, Sur y Oeste.
Aspectos físicos del libro que me encantaron como dibujos de tejidos, así como ilustraciones muy parecidas al estilo "tatuajes Maui"
Un libro que recomiendo muchísimo para personas muy jóvenes, que aparte de mostrarnos una pequeña parte de la cultura polinesia, nos adentra a un latente poder femenino. Moana, es de las pocas películas de Disney en las que veo el importante papel de la mujer, en la cual se le cree capaz y independiente. No todas las "princesas" deben tener una historia de amor para ser aclamadas.
Que buena manera de empezar el año con esta lectura.
Technically this was DNF'd but not out of interest. I love Moana, it quickly became one of my favourite Disney movies of all times after I watched it for the first time, and reading the novella version of it intrigued me. I'm still intrigued, but lack the time to read it; not to mention whenever I considered picking it up my mind would switch to another book instead.
Definitivamente es una de mis películas favoritas de Disney, por lo que lógicamente disfrute mucho leerlo, ya que esta redacción revela lo que moana piensa mientras se desarrolla en la película, y me pareció muy genial 😌😉
