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.

I always feel weird reading and rating these books, mostly because at the end I always think it was a great volume, and I always question myself if it really was or if this was just nostalgia goggles telling me how great it was. I do genuinely think that these are really good comics, they show female friendship in a way I think we still don't see enough of in fiction today! I love the story and the way the characters develop - I will say I'm a little tired of the Will/Matt drama where I feel like sometimes he is just being sulky and annoyed for no good reason other than to cause drama in the relationship but at the same time even at those moments you do understand his point of view where he hasn't seen the entire story we have so while its annoying its understandable for the character. I took a little (unintentional) break from the series but I'm excited to continue.

Elyon gets even more screentime here (YAY), and we get a very interesting look at the Oracle's past. The Oracle especially, really grows as a character here, which is more than I can say about W.I.T.C.H. One of the strong points of this series is the writers' ability to continually grow our characters, having them remember past lessons and mistakes in their future decisions. Many writers of long story arcs often have their characters conveniently forget lessons they've learned and essentially repeat story arcs in slightly different ways. Well, unfortunately W.I.T.C.H is no exception. While the story typically does a great job with this, this volume in particular is not the strongest.
I'm fairly certain the 5 girls already learned how to work together as a team, so why do we need another arc on this? The arguments feel a bit forced, and it drags on far too long. Will feeling all alone is nothing new, though we do get some nice scenes between Yan Lin and Will out of it.
The worst offender is, as usual, Will and Matt's relationship(?). I'm not even sure why Matt still likes her anymore. They spend almost every scene together fighting. Throughout the course of all the volumes so far, Will has seen him with another girl and mistakenly assumed her to be Matt's new girlfriend and given him the cold shoulder without even asking him to clarify not once, not twice, but THREE times. They have once again made up and started dating (were they not before?) and are happy... for maybe one scene before they start fighting about nothing again. I cannot stand it. All the other girls have functional (ie. fighting occasionally but mostly being supportive and understanding) relationships with their crushes/boyfriends, so why do the writers feel the need to always have Matt and Will fighting?
Still a good read, and I'm enjoying this arc. Our main team having personal stakes in the fight makes it so much more interesting.
Pros: ELYON, more focus on the Oracle's character, side character development, personal stakes in the conflict
Cons: The 5 girls rather forced fighting and everything to do with Will and Matt.

Well, well, this is interesting yet annoying. First, Will telling Matt the secret and the amount of drama in their relationship is unbelievable, then Cornelia getting the power of time as if she is not annoying enough having her main power already.
The girls being vulnerable, jealous and doubting their friendship. Anyways, I still enjoy that human aspect, I like seeing the “perfect” being not really perfect. Hey Lin’s positive gesture at the end is so cute. A real Gemini move.. she is always so sweet.

Oh man! That Will × Matt drama is so boring.

With Elyon stuck on Earth and the girls continuing to bicker over what to do next about the Oracle - who is secretly Probos in disguise - W.I.T.C.H is having a hard time keeping it together, especially when one of them lets out the secret of their powers! Gnone brings fans another exciting and witty entry with more emotion and lore that will keep eyes glued to the pages until the last chapter. Can Will and her friends find a way to sort out their feelings before Elyon is forced to give up her crown?

3.5/5
While this is W. I. T. C. H. and I'm still loving it, I did have some trouble with this book.
The story is on point and interesting, and I'm loving how they're using the many different worlds from the first arc and the story of Elyon, I'm still annoyed at the Matt/Will story which seem to be going in circles.
My biggest problem, though, is the friend-ship story. I feel like something is missing in it, like it's forced from the authors side, but at the same time I recognize how stupid it is from my own youth and some of the arguments I were in. How something apologized for could grow way out of proportions. Wow, am I glad I'm not a teen anymore...
Anyway, overall a good book with a lot of fun things and a few not as fun.
Right now, I both want to rush on and read book 3 because I have it and want to know how this ends. At the same time I don't want to rush it, because I have to wait until January before I can get my hands on the next arc.

As in any more or less classic story, we find ourselves faced with a succession of intense events before the outcome. Witch is no exception: the secret of the girls has been discovered, Cornelia inherits the Breath of Time that allows to stop the time when the group goes to fight in Kandrakar, Elyon was kidnapped.. Everything’s falling apart, clearly.
Even in their human lives, everyone discovers what love is, its good moments and the uncertainties that these new feelings bring forth. Will and the others are mostly indecisive, which makes the group divided and weakened.
In the face of these events that happen mainly in Kandrakar, and even if we sometimes see the planet Basiliade, the moments in Heatherfield tended to miss me during this reading. I think this arc on Endarno is not my favorite and joins the one with Nerissa in my general appreciation. But I always enjoy reading this series, the drawings are very beautiful and the philosophy remains very telling and interesting.
Question of the Day: the Witches are around 14-15 years old and start to fall in love. In your opinion, is it too young/early?

Honestly, I’m not a fan of this arc and the plot line it’s been following. The reuse of old villains and the continual drama for drama’s sake has gotten quite tiresome, and is why this took me three months to finish. I never wanted to pick it up!
There are good parts of it, and on the whole I still love the series, I’m just anxious to get to the next arc quickly.

Estuvo interesante, pero que las chicas estén todo el rato peleando por tonterías cuando se enfrentan a una crisis tremaenda me frustra bastante. Aún así al menos la trama tiene relevancia y me alegro que el villano vuelva a ser alguien relevante.

Was this book perfect? No. Did I care? No. Did I devour it in one sitting? Absolutely. These books are addictive, and far too much fun.
