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.

The title is a little misleading on this one as you would think they are the classic stories told in shorter formats, however, these are the usual spin off stories from the "classic" series instead.
The Lion King: A Prince's Day
Also found in 5-Minute Disney Furry Friends Stories
Bambi: The Winter Trail
Thumper wakes Bambi to find their friends and go on an adventures - following tracks in the snow. Fortunately, they leave their own tracks behind for their mothers to find them and guide them back home.
Lady & the Tramp: Barking up the Right Tree
Also found in 5-Minute Disney Furry Friends Stories
The Jungle Book: It Takes Two
This takes place sometime shortly after the first movie from the sound of it, with Bagheera and Baloo arguing over brain vs brawn. Fortunately for Mowgli, he can use both.
Pinocchio: A Real Boy
This is the tale of Pinocchio's first day as a real boy and spending time with his father, Geppetto. Being a real boy is harder than he thought it would be, but that doesn't mean it isn't still a dream come true.
The Aristocats: The Birthday Wish
Marie wants to stay up and go to Scat Cat's birthday party with the other adult cats, though her brothers are perfectly happy going to bed as they're told. Luckily for Marie, Scat Cat is a crafty friend.
Robin Hood: Castle Rescue
Skippy seems to have a habit of shooting his arrow into places it does not belong, and then going in after them. This time, he ends up the castle. Fortunately, Robin Hood, Little John, and Maid Marian are on the case to help the little bunny before Prince John finds him.
Peter Pan: Captain Hook's Show
Peter's prank goes awry when Captain Hook's shadow escapes and causes mischief both in Never Land and in London. Fortunately, Michael is happy to help his friend and overcome his own fear in the process.
Lilo & Stitch: The Dog Show
Lilo & Stitch enter the local dog show, except stitch isn't actually a dog, and as usual, he does things with his usual unique flair of chaos.
101 Dalmatians: Detective Lucky
Lucky can't sleep and wants to be a detective, but following his clues gets him lost outside. Fortunately, the pup runs into some friends and though it's past the hour for the Twilight Bark, apparently there's a Midnight Bark that can be just as useful.
Dumbo: Dumbo's Story Day
The circus animals end up in a spot of trouble out in the snow. Fortunately, with Dumbo's ability to fly, they're able to get some help, even if it ends up not going as plan. At least everyone is still safe and sound.
Alice in Wonderland: A Snack for the Queen
The Queen is a rather dangerous person to be running errands for with her inclination to yell "off with their head!" As always, none of the snacks are exactly what they appear to be in Wonderland.
The Lion King: A Prince's Day
Also found in 5-Minute Disney Furry Friends Stories

A good collection of stories from the universes of various classic Disney movies. They're not super well-written and they range in how interesting they are, but it's something fun to read with my daughter.
It kind of surprised me that The Lion King and Lilo & Stitch are now considered "classic." I feel so old.
Also, I noticed that the trauma of parental death/separation has been downplayed. The stories from Bambi and The Lion King occur pre-trauma and the Dumbo story happens after he's been reunited with his mother. So, pretty tame compared to some of the films themselves.
I wasn't sure if the Peter Pan story about Captain Hook's shadow would scare Lily, but she seemed to be okay with it.

This book is the home to many of my childhood favorites! I appreciate how each story is shared with nice sized text for early readers. I also appreciate the photos included for those that just listen along. We read this during storytime over a month and my children enjoyed it. I also shared it with our local children's book club. I recommend this for homes with children 11 and under. I also think this would be a great opportunity for grandparents to read to your children because they'll recognize the stories. Follow your reading by watching the movies, all of which are available on Disney+. Visit http://www.taneishakemp.com for more reviews.

L got this book for Christmas and was very happy with the gift. Tonight we read our first story from it, the story about Dumbo and his mother stuck in the snow (so, clearly these stories are "classic" in the sense that they feature classic characters but not at all classic in their plots). I enjoy this book primarily because each story really is just about five minutes long, so one or two are perfect for bedtime. L said "Can we read another one? They're just so fun!" So for her it's a hit.

Another good 5-minute story collection with great artwork for bedtime with your little one. My son loves "Captain Hook's Shadow" the most, but the majority of these stories are fun for a couple of stories at bedtime.
