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.
Very cute book, but just keep in mind this is NOT the entire Frozen II plot/novelization. This is like...the middle third of the movie, assuming what I know is correct. (Will update after the actual movie releases, lol.)
There are several cute detailed sketch-style art pictures throughout the book, which I really enjoyed.:) The 4 stars is legit simply because this is NOT the whole story, the beginning and the end are missing. No prologue scene, no little Anna and Elsa flashback scenes, no charades scene, no Elsa fighting the Nøkk, etc. And no ending details, my impatient self wants ending details, haha. All that being said, I’d still recommend this book if you’re collecting Frozen books, and I think kids would like reading a chapter book that has some illustrations in it, I know that little me would have!

Disneyn Satuklassikot -sarjaan kuuluva Frozen II-kirja on visuaalisesti huikea elämys ja kertoo uusimman Frozen-seikkailun sanasta sanaan. Tällä kertaa kirjaa ei ole siis julkaistu lipputuloja nostattamaan vaan ihan puhtaasti tarinan itsensä kannalta.
Vaikka visuaalinen ilme on kaunis, se ei silti yllä itse elokuvan tasolle. Laulujen ja muiden tunteita nostattavien kohtausten tunnelataus ei kirjassa aivan pääse huippuunsa, eli kirjasta saa kaiken paremmin irti ensin elokuvan katsoneena.
I always pick up the Junior Novelization of movies coming out if I can. I found this one on Frozen II. I devoured it almost in one sitting. The only thing that stopped me was I had to work at 5:15 a.m. this morning so I fell asleep reading it.
It isn't a bad little book. I still love the antics of Olaf, and Sven. A great read for those who love Disney movies and Disney books. Great for kids to read. A good sister book and how families mean to each other, even after they are not around anymore.
Main surprise: this is not a novelization of the entire movie. It only covers the portion spent in the Enchanted Forest. Also, there are several changes from the movie. I know that’s common for adaptations, but this is a novelization and some parts deviate or are left out to a greater extent than I expected. I wish this covered the whole movie because I’m still confused by the ending and I wanted more explanation. lol
This is a very strange novelization. It only includes part of the movie - a part that would also have been included in the actual junior novel. There's no solid beginning, middle, and end. And while it does add some much-appreciated insight, it also leaves out at least one *major* revelation from the movie.
I enjoyed the extra details that weren’t in the movie. My kids enjoyed having yet another way to hear about Elsa and Anna. I was surprised that it didn’t follow the whole movie - it ends about 2/3rds of the way through the movie’s plot.
This was much better written than I expected, with what seems like advanced vocabulary for the target audience (I approve) and some solid descriptions. Plot is a bit disappointing, as the book is meant to be just a fragment of the film - going for the minimal publiable unit, I suppose.
There was a calling voice to Elsa that leads Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olof to the enchanted forest, where all the spirits are. Will they find the voice? Will they escape danger? I love this book so much.
