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.
Children’s books from the 90’s have so much pizazz. They got away with so many shenanigans and I loved it so much. It was amazing in so many ways and I couldn’t get enough. Lady is sassy, fun and she knows what she wants !!!
This story is one of Disney's classics, and children love stories about animals. Lady went on an adventure when she met Tramp, and they also saved the baby from a rat. Tramp found a home and at the following Christmas not only was the baby there, but puppies, too. This story tells a tale of friendship, when things don't look so good, you meet someone that can help you get through the situation. The illustrations are colorful and children could tell the story through the pictures.
Learning Experience: When Lady was out on her own and she encountered some dogs she didn't know she was scared and ran away. It is important for children to know the safe way to approach a strange dog. To start this activity ask the children how many dogs they know, are they afraid of dogs, and has a dog ever scared them. Let the children know not to run or scream with excitement when they see a dog. This activity can be done with a dog stuffed animal, this way children will be familiar with the steps on approaching a new dog. This process is according to the American Kennel Club. 1.) Ask owner permission to touch dog. 2.) Curl hand in a fist and offer back of hand to the dog. 3.) Allow dog to smell you. 4.) Pet dog gently under chin. 5.) Thank the owner. For more safety information about dogs go to www.akc.org.
Finnegan, Delphine. Lady and the Tramp. New York: Random House, 2012. Print. Lady and the tramp is another classic told through the story and could be read within the age ranges of about: 8-14. This book tells the story of two dogs fall in love. This book is a great romantic children's book.This book also has some excitement and would seem very fun and entertaining for students to read. This book ensures that best friends can come when you least expect and things happen unexpectedly. This book is a great story of how to not think too much, because things happen when you least expect them to. A lot of the times in a future classroom I'm sure that things are going to happen that will be beneficial to me ensuring that the classroom is a great place to learn.
Awesome! This one I don't have but a different one from Disney! I recommend that you get it but if you don't like Disney you follow your mind and see if its like: later or not really. I say YES that you should get it.

My children loved this book and now my grandchildren love it too. I remember taking my children to see the movie years ago and would you believe I cried. What am I like I ask you?
This has always been one of my favorite Disney movies and I always loved the book. The story of two opposites attract is a standard plot in romance lit but putting in the world of animals makes it unique. What child doesn't love a book about dogs. The illustrations are great. I was so glad when my children loved the book and movie, and my now my grandsons enjoy it too.
Another Golden Book of a Disney movie to introduce them to our son. These are not my favorite Disney movies of all time but a lot of my favorites are Princess related so this is a good gender neutral option.
I enjoyed this movie as a child because I could relate the characters to my real life events. My family had just found our first dog so I was super excited to read this book. The puppy looked like the tramp in the movie and book. Young children can appreciate a book more if they can relate to characters in it. I will have this in my classroom because it is just one example of a story that has characters that children see in real life. It can be entertaining to watch a movie all about dogs if the student can relate to having one in real life.
Esto es lo que mas amo de tener a mi hermanita pequeña! ella me hace recordar mis épocas de infancia! y me hace re-leer estos viejos clásicos que me acompañaron muchas tardes y me iniciaron en el camino de la lectura!
A pesar de ser una historia sencilla nos enseña de pequeños que los sueños no deben olvidarse, y que el amor no conoce de límites ni impedimentos. Todos debemos luchar por lo que amamos y hacer frente a cualquier desafío! Solo es cuestión de sentir!
Discussion Question: Have you ever involved some accidents in your visit place? When I went to Boston, I and my host family were involved car accident.
I like this story so much. When I was child, I watched this many times. Because I have this video.
This book is a tale of two lovers from different backgrounds and how they become friends. I would use this book to show children that we are all the same and can all benefit from friendship no matter where we come from or what we look like. This book would go well with activities made from the social-emotional domain.
This is one of the worlds classic stories and taken and put into a childrens book. This book uses smaller words and vocabulary that give the younger readers a chance to learn and grow on their own. This classic story enables readers to connect without even having been read. Children will love this classic book.
I chose this book because Lady and the Tramp was such a great movie growing up. The book correlates with the movie well. The book was for older kids because of the smaller sized pictures and lots of words on each page. Many of the Walt Disney movies are made into books by The Little Golden Series.
Dama i skitnica je nešto romantično kako su dva psa zaljubljeni prijatelji. Onaj dio kada ju prijatelj odvede na špageti,kad ju spasi iz šinteraja ja i sve druge knjige ovo je nešto predivna. Nešto tako romantično i malčice tužno zato jer joj zločesta teta stavi brnjicu ali dabar joj pomogne skinuti brnjicu. 🤗😍
And written adaptation of Disney classic animation, so I don't need to say that the pictures are beautiful and the story is faithful to the animation. <3
I think this is one of the most wonderful plots i've ever layed my eyes on <3
