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.

You absolutely hated this book and cried every time I read it. Took us about four days to get thru it. But it’s Grandma Rae’s favorite Disney story, the best ride in Disney World and the theme of your nursery so I hope your thoughts on Peter Pan change! I loved it so 5 stars anyway. You’ll grow into it.

This book is about a boy named Peter Pan and his adventures in Neverland. This book is definitely in the fantasy genre because it takes place in the magical land of Neverland and has magical characters like tinker bell. I gave this book four stars because of its bright, colorful illustrations that bring in the readers as well as the very fun creative storyline. This book is suitable for children in the younger grade levels like first grade.

Walt Disney's Peter Pan
Dempster, Al
This book is a retelling of the movie classic Disney's Peter Pan with movie stills. The book has easy reading lines for young children to connect not only to the story of a young boy that never grew up, but to the ideas of freedom youth and self choice. The book is a great early reader.

Peter Pan would be great to use for older grades to lead-in to a play! Children of all ages enjoy this book and love having it read to them. I would use it for older grades (probably 3rd-5th). Also, parts of this story could be used as a Reader's Theater, as well.

I got to see Peter Pan on Broadway in 1979 and got to speak to Sandy Duncan after the show outside the theater. What a THRILL! I was 18, and it's one of my greatest memories!

I have nothing against Peter Pan, but I think it's silly to try to cram all of it into a Golden Book format.

The version I read to my grandbaby is very much like the movie and the illustrations the same as well... not blocky but not to complex to follow. Just a nice story.

Peter Pan is a magical and whimsical book. I would use this book as a beginning fantasy book for lower elementary grade levels.

This is one of my favorite childhood books.This book teaches kids it is okay to be a kid for a while, and there is no reason to grow up to quickly.

This book is full of wonder and excitement. I would probably have the kids role play a scene from the movie with objects that we make during crafts time.

I had this in the table of my therapist's waiting room
I was so bored I read it in 1 minute and wanted to rate it and just write this. So, yup. :) I gave it a three because it meant nothing to me and I was waiting for my therapy session, it was fun.

Peter Pan by Walt Disney Company is a children’s fairytale book. The adventures of Peter Pan is a classic story, Never Land is something that all kids dream of. Peter Pan is most closely related to boy’s interests but Tinkerbelle adds to the interests of little girls.
I would recommend this book for children five to nine based on the storyline and the level of comprehension necessary to understand the story and the fact that most of it is make believe and cannot happen in reality. I also think this is a great story to be read aloud to children who cannot quite read yet because the illustrations are well done and will grab the attention of students while aiding in understanding the plot. The movie also adds a more realistic feature to the story because of the fact that the students are able to interact with. Overall, I enjoyed reading Peter Pan.
