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.

3.5⭐
First of all, the cover is perfection. Purple with silver foil – can it get any more fitting or magical?
I really enjoyed this adaptation and find it to be the best in the Disney Animated Classics series so far. Unlike its counterparts, the storytelling was smooth and much better paced (though it felt rushed towards the end).
The book also retained the essence of Cinderella and expanded on some elements. I appreciate its attempts to make the story less superficial e.g. Cinderella not being aware he's the Prince and them talking through the night.
Also, Gus-Gus! ❤️

Cenicienta

🕛 La Cenicienta... cuando era pequeña, me encantaba leerla, puede que haya sido el primero de Disney, la primera historia, que llamó mi atención y por eso creo que es especial para mí. Y siempre lo será. A pesar de no ser de mis Princesas favoritas ni de mis cuentos de Disney preferidos, hoy por hoy. Pero sin duda la adoro y siempre la adoraré 🩵
👠 Qué más decir que no sepáis... la Princesa que logra serlo al perder un zapatito de cristal, justo a medianoche. Hora en que los sueños se desvanecen y otros se cumplen.
🕛 Oh y, como se me iba a olvidar... estas ediciones son extraordinarias 🩵

Simplemente magnifica. Me está fascinando esta colección. Solo espero que saquen todos los libros en español. La Cenicienta no es mi princesa Disney favorita, ese puesto lo tiene y tendrá siempre Ariel, pero la historia me encanta y verla en este cuento con bocetos originales y todo me ha enamorado.

Pure magic! This book is everything a Disney soul like myself could ever dream of. The book includes early sketches and little facts about the artists who drew them and the people who made the drawings come to life. Disney magic at its finest ❤️

¿A quién no le gusta un clásico Disney? ¿O a quien no le gusta Disney en general?. Esta colección de libros es pura preciosidad, tanto por la portada como con lo que contiene en su interior.
Nos encontramos con el cuento de Cenicienta en su versión Disney. Se podría decir que es un resumen por escrito de la película de animación. Además, hay un montón de ilustraciones y bocetos que fueron creados por los animadores que trabajaron en este precioso clásico de Disney.
Al final del libro podemos ver un glosario con los nombres y una pequeña biografía profesional de los ilustradores, tanto de escenarios y personajes, que dieron vida a la película.
La lectura es fugaz. La letra es grande y el vocabulario muy simple. Ni te enteras de que te has terminado el libro hasta que te encuentras la contracubierta.
Es una gozada ver los diferentes diseños de personajes que se hicieron hasta dar con el definitivo, el que acabó cobrando vida. ¡Y por supuesto! pueden disfrutar de esta maravilla hasta los peques de la casa.
En definitiva, es una colección que es un auténtico tesoro.

My love could never lessen. My favorite for now and forever.

Al igual que los otros cuentos que he leído de esta colección, me parece una edición preciosa y es más fiel aún a la película que los de Pinocho y Dumbo. También es cierto que en este tomo he echado de menos más bocetos originales de la película.
Para los amantes del Disney clásico, es una colección que merece mucho la pena.

This book threw me back to my childhood when I didn't have any concerns about anything
I love it 😀

Who knew a stunningly illustrated children's book would work wonders where half a decade of medication had failed? Let it be known that the cure to my insomnia infested nights has finally been discovered in this magical series of fairytales. To say I'm in awe would be an understatement.
*pats the book lovingly before placing it on the nightstand and dozing off finally*

5/5
An absolutely superb book. If you love any of the Disney movies that they are releasing like this, I HIGHLY recommend getting it!
Adding in the animator sketches alongside stills from the movie really bring a new perspective to the movie.

This book retells the Disney version of the animated classic alongside original artwork from the film and the classic storybook. It was fine, but if you've seen the movie, it really does not add a whole lot of new information. Though the cover is beautiful.

This book is pure Disney magic and a must for any Cinderella fan! I loved seeing behind the animations and the words evoked such a happy feeling!! 5*s

Really cool to see sketches and artwork of what Cinderella was before the final film. I do wish there was more details on making the film than just being a rehash of the movie.
