Note: The decision was made to consolidate all Disney publications under the name Walt Disney Company. This profile is for Walt Disney, the characters he created, and the company he founded. Any questions, please ask in the Librarian's Group.

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.

Beautifully illustrated and pulled together. It has some lovely classics! It was so nice to see Bugs Life which is such an underrated film. Definitely could have done with more (We always want more don't we😂) and would recommend for Disney fans.

Each Disney film/world featured in the book receives a short story synopsis and illustrated character list, which pulled me into each story quickly and effectively. The plot summaries rarely spoil the ending, and taught me valuable lessons in writing quick summaries introducing key characters. The character list helped me visualize Disney characters I didn't even know previously.

The maps leave something to be desired: while colorful and cute, they lack the building-level detail and accuracy I've come to expect from maps of Disney theme parks like Disneyland, Disney World, DisneySea. At the very least, I would have enjoyed seeing more realistic relative distances, placement of key geographic features, and more buildings to bring the populace to life.

Still a good book for the stories alone! Just don't expect to navigate these worlds by map...

I had seen this book on Amazon a while back and it really caught my attention so I was delighted to get a copy for Christmas 2021 and will admit that I read it with my daughter over two afternoons juts to try and make it last a bit longer - we loved it!

It had some lovely illustrations and it was easy to read and follow. I liked the films that had been chosen and there could definitely be a follow up or two with the other films that are out.

It is 5 stars from us from this one - one to keep that we will get out to read again soon!
Very highly recommended!!

Es más para admirarlo de vez en cuando que para leer las historias que incluye. Una vez más, decepcionada con Disney por incluir sólo lo que más vende e ignorar clásicos como Pocahontas, Hércules, EJDND, Los Rescatadores… que bien podrían hacer las maravillas de las nuevas generaciones y contentarnos a los verdaderos fans.

De todos modos, le doy 4 estrellas porque me han gustado mucho las ilustraciones y tiene detalles preciosos en cada uno de los mapas que, como he dicho ya, merecen ser admirados de cuando en cuando. Se nota que está hecho por expertos en la materia.

There are too many classic Disney movies missing: No Cinderella, Lilo and Stitch or Princess and the Frog (which features the first Black Disney princess). Try again, Disney.
