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.

The worldbuilding in the Disney Fairies franchise sparked my imagination greatly when I was a kid, and I still think it’s underrated. While there isn’t much in this book that the Tinkerbell movie can’t tell you, it is still a wonderful introduction to the world of Pixie Hollow, with great art and quick little character bios.

Very informative about the homes, jobs and types of fairies in the Tinkerbell DVD.

Cute and creative introduction to the fairies in Pixie Hollow!

We should have read this first as it explains a lot!

There are two ways to look at this small book, and how you do so depends on whether you are a child, or perhaps an adult who thinks like a child, or whether you are an adult full of the skepticism and cynicism of many adults.
The book is filled with beautiful illustrations of places and fairies in Pixie Hollow. A number of the fairies are noted by name, along with the types of things they like.
There are a couple of the fairies that don't quite fit the normal artistic style that has been used in previous Disney books, as one is wearing glasses and two of them are overweight.
A child would read the book and thoroughly enjoy it. It's colorful, it's pretty, and it's about fairies. What's not to like about such a book?
On the other hand, a cynical adult would read the same book and possibly come to the conclusion that all the new fairies featured are really just references for various tie-in products that will come out for the Tinkerbell movie, and that's the only reason they are there. The fairies with glasses and the overweight fairies are there for political correctness purposes. Such an adult would get no joy out of the book at all.
