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 honestly did not think I was going to like this one. It’s predecessor wasn’t very believable toward the end, and therefore, not very good. This one nearly used a recycled school story line; the one where someone may be moving away. Despite that, the author also gave this a bit of a new spin, so it doesn’t lose a star for that.
There’s a spirit dance coming up; Sadie Hawkins dance, where the girl asks the guy. I don’t have the desire to scream ‘homophobia’. If you’re not straight, consider it a ‘take a friend of the opposite sex’ dance. Anyway, Gabriella wants to ask Troy, but gets this advice from Sharpay to take it slow with the asking as a way to get him eating out of her hand.
Troy on the other hand really wants her to ask him and is surprised when she doesn’t. Chad gets asked by this new Taylor girl that I don’t remember from the movies, and when he doesn’t answer with any kind of affirmative, it starts a little argument between the two of them.
Meanwhile, Sharpay is pulling Ryan along on a string for every special day of the week: pajama day, twin day, hat day (I don’t think there were more than three before the dance).
This was better than book one. 3 stars.

Ame este segundo libro y sobre todo a Gabriella, aceptó que en la película siempre fui #TeamSharpay pero en este libro descubrí porque Troy la quiere tanto, es tan buena persona que solo puede ser parte de un libro, y admito que de no haber permitido que Troy y Sharpay fueran juntos al baile no me habría emocionado tanto. Quiero más el problema es que no tengo más libros :(

I wasn't a huge fan of
Battle of the Bands (High School Musical: Stories from East High, #1)
, so it's fair to say my expectations for Wildcat Spirit (why the title on here doesn't follow the same conventions as for the first I do not know) were low. This book was easily worse than the first. Music takes a huge backseat and instead we have our characters all trying to show their school spirit, whilst Gabriella does the typical Gabriella thing and mopes around. It's a frustrating read because these characters seemingly never make smart decisions (despite the films making a rather big deal about Gabriella being a brainiac). Again, I'm not the target audience, but the films are so good and these books so far have been so bad.

April 11, 2008It is all about spirit before "the" dance at East High as the wildcats prepare for spirit(including Ryan and Sharpay).Also Sharpay is still lying in this series to get troy to her side and will Gabriella leave East High to New York?I learned that it will not pay to be keeping everything to yourself.

This was better than the previous East High novel. More humor. Still pretty cheesy though.
It's kind of weird that every novel is written by a different author; they try to make their writing sound similar, but it's really not...
P.S. One thing that drives me nuts, is that the word Neanderthal is used by every character a least once in every book. Talk about annoying!
