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'm sorry, but this is just... stupid. The whole concept of the story, not just the book. I think Disney is losing that magical touch he had all these years.
I couldn't find a single thing that made me want to enjoy it. I didn't laugh, I DIDN'T CRY.. which is something I usually do. And the topic is very sensitive.
Leer esta novela fue toda una experiencia. Había visto la película hace unos meses, con mi hermana, y fue realmente conmovedora. El poder leer todo ahora es otra cosa.
Las descripciones de los personajes, de los espacios o lugares en donde nuestros personajes se encuentran es realmente curioso. No tener colores ni banda sonora fue extraño pero, habiendo visto la película, es casi como si estuviéramos releyendo todo 🙊.
Esta es una historia apta para toda la familia aunque... las enseñanzas y reflexiones que nos deja, son más que nada para adolescentes, jóvenes y adultos. ¿Qué te apasiona en la vida? ¿Naciste para hacer algo en particular? Son cosas que más de uno se ha preguntado, y Disney logró plasmar esa esencia en una cautivadora película animada.
Sumado a la experiencia tenemos un par de páginas con escenas de la película que son preciosas 😍❤
The enchanting adventure "out of the body" of the Jazz musician who so wanted to finnaly play at an important concert, that he manages to come back from the after life! And the tender aspects of his relationship with a young soul waiting to come back to Earth...
La novela Soul que trata exactamente lo mismo que la película ❤ El músico Joe Gardner se separa de su cuerpo en el día más importante de su vida. Ahora deberá convencer a 22, un alma sin rumbo, para que lo ayude a regresar a la tierra a cumplir su sueño. Desde las ajetreadas calles de Nueva York hasta los reinos cósmicos del alma, ésta novela explora algunas de las preguntas más grandes de la humanidad. Yo primero vi la película y luego leí novela, sin dudas volví a llorar y emocionarme. Consideró que todos deberían darle una oportunidad ya sea leyendo o viendo la peli porque trata temas muy importantes para nosotros los adultos. A veces perdemos nuestra chispa y nos hace falta un empujoncito para volvernos a encontrar con ella ❤
"Dicen que nacemos con un propósito, pero ¿Cómo descubres ese propósito? ¿Y qué pasa si te equivocas? ¿Qué pasa si escoges el propósito de alguien más? En ese caso, ¡estás atrapado!"
“Soul: La Novela” es la versión novelada de la nueva película de Pixar. Al ser una adaptación de película a libro y no de libro a película, es prácticamente igual a la película. La historia de Joe y 22 es preciosa e invita a la reflexión. Si bien es un libro dirigido a niños yo creo que también puede ser disfrutado por adultos. Esta edición incluye imágenes de la película. Si les gustó el film “Soul”, entonces no se pueden perder este libro.
El libro tiene una trama muy linda, me gusta como se van desarrollando los personajes y el mensaje que deja es re bonito. Lo leí después de ver la película por eso no me sorprendió lo que pasó en el libro, pero fuera de eso es lindo, aunque siento que va enfocado para un público más infantil
Este libro me apoyó a reflexionar sobre cómo es que nos aferramos a ideas o creencias limitantes y sobre todo cómo es que generamos sabotear la vida de nuestros sueños pero sobre todo el darme cuanta cómo nos aferramos al producto de nuestras expectativas
Una mezcla del viejo Disney con un toque contemporáneo casi moderno que no me emocionó. No me gusta que me expliquen lo que me quieren enseñar. No hay asombro ni catarsis, pero sí me divertí un ratito.
