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.

A classic Disney Cinderella tale.

The illustrations are what make this book really golden. So beautiful, of course (partially) why this film saved the company. The story is so perfect as well. Cinderella never gets old.

A retelling based on the movie. I'm not a huge fan of retellings. If you haven't seen the movie the stories are too choppy to be good reading.

This book would be an obvious class favorite if you were to read it aloud, as most of them would be very familiar with it. I think this book has a great teaching lesson behind it, and it would be to love people for who they are and what/where they come from.

Oh Cinderella, how I relate and yearn to connect with you in such a life as mine 😭. Your misery, depression, having to put up with a “weary, stale, flat and unprofitable” world without the presence of your mother, precisely like me and my father. You did not have a chance to “mourn longer,” and you had to “hold your tongue” even as you were breaking inside with the “wicked” nature of your stepmother. You got your prince charming, you found someone special, but being a prince can still be a suffer, since I am one as well. Will I ever get the ending that I long to have; see my grief “resolve itself?” Is there any hope in the world? Where is my pumpkin carriage?#fairytalesmakememoredepressed

October 9, 2023A story about a girl living with her evil stepmother and step sisters. She has to take care of them and isn't allowed to go to the ball. I would have my students write a three-part summary of the story.

VERY traditional Disney telling of Cinderella, complete with pictures straight from the classic Disney movie!
October 13, 2024
This book is a classic fairy tale that has important themes or messages including kindness and perseverance. Cinderella (the main character) is a very inspiring character for many young readers. Cinderella is patient, very kind, and forgiving throughout the story, even in situations where she is disrespected and treated poorly. This story also touches on the idea of inner beauty, in addition to showing that good things come to those who wait.

I thought it was an interesting take on the traditional Cinderella story. It was fun to read a book from when I was a kid and get to read it as an adult now.

Genre: Traditional Fantasy
Grade: K-1
I like this book because it is a traditional story that is well known. However the illustrations add to the story and would help keep young students engaged.

Disney did a great with the illustrations in this book. With each picture it helped tell the story. The colors were very colorful and appealing and there was also not a lot of negative space present in the pages. The characters were the same as the movie that he made which might make it easier for some of the children to read and understand. The text is large and spaced out well for the students to read easily. There are not too many words on the page which helps the students read the book easier. The students can relate to this book by we all have times when we think that there are people picking on us, it just depends on how we handle the situation. We should not let people boss us around and be mean to us sometimes we need to learn to stand up for ourselves.
Language Arts/ Social Emotional
After reading the story I would want the children to tell me a time when they felt like someone was picking on them and what they did to fix the situation.

The very popular story of a hard-working girl tortured by her evil step mother and step sisters finally gets her shot at love. This is a book that young children will find interesting especially, girls.
