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.

A diverse array of tales about the many animals that populate the World of Disney. The stories began with those creatures we have met in the films, having further adventures. Later, there is a mix of puppy stories from a series I didn't know, then there are a new collection of pets for our Disney heroines, and how they came to be together, plus, an adventure.
I enjoyed this on the Playaway audio system. I truly enjoy them.

This book was ok. It had some nice stories in it and some that were a little more boring. It had some stories with some newer characters and some with more classic characters in it. It was a quick and easy read for fans of a variety of Disney movies. Also it has Winnie the Pooh on the cover but there was no Winnie the Pooh story in the book which I thought was odd.

As usual, my daughter really loved all of these. It takes us about a week to get through all of the stories because we read a few a night. We had some stories from Moana, Aristocats, Pinocchio, Zootopia and more. I liked that this included such a variety of stories, and not just princess stories. She’s at the age where she’s absorbing the princess stories at such a high rate, but it’s fun to introduce her to stories she hasn’t seen yet. I’m glad I found all these stories to read to her.

My toddler enjoys this book, but I'm excited to come back to it when he's older. The stories are pretty long and there are a lot of words on each page. But I've seen it read to a 6-year-old who just loved it. As an adult I thought the stories were fine.

An okay collection of stories, the zootopia one was the best tbh

Cute short stories. Don’t need to know the story background to read these shorts (they do elude to them). Pictures are great and spread well so it’s not too many words on a page.
