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 liked it but it was a little short for my liking!
Read
January 14, 2024Really good. Took the plot of the first 5 chapter books. Was worth reading. Does not give spoilers to first five books but takes parts.

Athena P made another Disney Fairies lore video so I'm back on fairies fix. Was interested in the Never Girls series becauase it looked cute but kids chapter books arent my thing as a 21 year old however graphic novel adaptations...
This was really cute, I would defintely love this as a kid. It's very much for kids or people wanting to feel like a kid again. There's a very kiddy problem and a moral at the end. But I enjoyed it, again it's cute. And I love the art. It's so expressive and colorful. Lainey is the best character. Sarah kinda is just there shes supposed to be the leader but she doesn't really do anything in this volume.
I'm excited to pick up the next volume tbh.

3 stars (I liked it)
Even though Goodreads has this listed as the first in the series, it seems like it is a continuation (EDIT: I researched this a bit. Apparently, this is the first graphic novel but it continues the story from the chapter books). It's okay though because the book has a good recap at the beginning. This was a cute book that had a small mystery. I love Mia's love of books :) I could definitely see many of my students liking this book!

I love a graphic novel adaptation of a long running series. I'm hoping this book helps bridge the gap and encourages my middle child to read more chapter books. It worked with the Ever After series and I'm hopeful.
Four girls find a secret portal to Neverland and use it to explore and adventure. As they adventure they find answers to questions in their own lives.

Cute, easy graphic novel version of the early chapter book series. Emily thought it was kinda meh. The story was cute, and I like how the real life story paralleled the Neverland story. Wish the adults were more supportive of the girls, though.

It was cute and I enjoyed it, but there was something missing. There were details that didn’t make sense for this to be number one in the series.

Cute super quick middle grade graphic novel.

My 3 year old daughter checked this out and wanted to read it. It's a chapter book graphic novel, but it kept her interest, and even I thought it was decent! I can see us reading more of these.

This was so cute!

It’s cute. A young girl (about 4-7 years old) who’s starting to read or is reading might enjoy it, especially if she loves the Disney cartoon movie “Peter Pan”.

Mia gets accused of stealing.
Eliana’s review: “I liked all the mysteries with the pirates treasure, the pencil, and the book.”

super cute and great story

This was cute, but I think I needed a backstory about the girls to fully understand.

My sister gifted this graphic novel to my 6yo and we read it in one sitting. It was cute, fun illustrations and vibrant colors- filled with magic and some misunderstandings. She liked it and we’d certainly read more in this series.

Great story!
If you're a fan of the chapter books seeing the girls in color in a graphic novel is pure joy. The back cover in the chapter books gave us a color glimpse and each book has black and white pictures, but this is a great companion. I still recommend reading the chapter books, and this is a great way to explore the world more. Kiki Thorpe has no more plans to write new books but I do hope she changes her mind.
