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.

This is the second book in the series that is falling apart. Several short stories of the Disney movies in here. My book is well loved.

Lots of wonderful stories & art in this one. Includes Donald Duck in Disneyland, a charming little story. Davy Crockett and Old Yeller are beautifully illustrated. Johnny Appleseed, has the same artwork from, Johnny Appleseed in the film 'Melody Time.' My favorite is Pollyanna, this was a childhood delight. Any movie starring Hayley Mills.

This is a collection of some of the Disney movies in book form. I got this at a yard sale because it has the story "Toby Tyler" in it, which is what my husband Toby was named after. :) It also has the Uncle Remus stories, which was one of my favorite Disney movies as a child.

Great collection of Disney classic stories, this is one to grab and keep handy. You can always count on an amazing tale from this company.

Now, I’ve read Walt Disney's America (Wonderful Worlds of Walt Disney) more than once, and I must say, I find it to be truly amazing and inspiring, too.
For one thing, if I was asked which parts of this book would be my favorite, I know exactly which ones I’d choose:
Lady, leaping at the kitchen door, tried to say that she could explain.
Jim Dear opened the door and knelt beside her while she jumped up to lick his face.
“Lady, what’s this all about, old girl? You know the answer, I’m sure,” he said.
For a reply, Lady jumped past Jim Dear and raced upstairs to the baby’s room.
“She’s trying to tell us something,” he said.
Jim Dear was at Lady’s heels.
“You’re right, dear,” she said. And when Lady showed her the dead rat behind the chair, at last she knew what it was.
“Don’t you see?” he cried. “That strange dog wasn’t attacking the baby. He was helping Lady protect it instead.”
“Oh, Jim Dear, and we’ve sent him off . . .” Darling wailed, clasping her hands.
“I don’t see the reason for all this fuss,” Aunt Sarah sternly said.
“Aunt Sarah,” said Jim, “I’m going to save that dog. And you are going to leave.”
“Well, I never!” Aunt Sarah gasped. (p. 18)
“That dog,” cried Jim Dear, pointing to the Tramp, rubbing noses with Lady through the bars. “It’s all been a terrible mistake.”
“You mean that mongrel is yours, Mister?” the driver asked.
“Yes,” said Jim Dear. “He’s mine.” (p. 18)
Aunt Olive and Uncle Daniel were sitting inside the wagon. Toby’s aunt held out her arms, and Toby ran to her and buried his face in her shoulder.
“Toby,” Uncle Daniel said, “will you forgive me?”
Outside, Tupper was being dealt with by Ben Cotter. The strong man’s face was grim and forbidding.
“You lily-livered skunk!” he said. “I found out what you did with Toby’s letters.”
“Now, now, Ben!” Tupper whimpered. “I-I just didn’t want to upset the lad.”
Ben jabbed him in the chest with his finger, pushing him back.
“Tampering with the mail—that calls for a jail sentence, Mr. Tupper.”
“It was just a little tamper,” Tupper moaned. “I didn’t mean to—I wasn’t going to—”
“Would you care to make an agreement, Mr. Tupper?”
“Fine! I’d like that. Anything you say, Ben—”
“I want you to give up the share of Toby’s money you’ve been getting—”
“Ben!” The thought of giving up money made Tupper bleat with anguish. “You don’t know what you’re saying—”
Ben jabbed him in the chest again. “I want you to stay away from that boy—”
“Oh yes, Ben. Absolutely—”
“I want you to behave nice and pretty—”
“Yessir, Ben! Depend on it!”
“Cause if you don’t—I’m liable to do something like this—”
And Ben picked Tupper up by the scruff of the collar and dropped him into a nearby tub of water. (p. 51-52)
As Toby daringly jumped from his horse through a flaming hoop, the crowd gasped.
“That boy!” one lady exclaimed. “Isn’t he wonderful?”
The lady happened to be sitting near Aunt Olive and Uncle Daniel. Leaning over toward her, they both smiled proudly and said as one, “He’s our boy!”
Meanwhile, in Sam’s tent, the little chimp had already begun untying the knots of his leash. The tether had yet to be invented that could keep Mr. Stubbs and Toby apart.
You see, Toby Tyler was his boy, too. (p. 53)
Finally, I highly recommend this book to any Disney fan out there in the world, as well as those who have the desire to keep Walt Disney’s legacy alive. And I give it five stars (although ten stars would be even better). 🦅😁🤠

This is a classic book from the 70's it's full of stories from Disney. Often with illustrations from the movies by the same names of the stories. They were nice to read out loud to my adult special needs son.
