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.

Love it! I was raised a Disney child during the Disney renaissance and these more modern movies just don't make the cut for me although some kind of have good messages. The book mainly covers the original Classic Disney movies along with those of the Renaissance while I think Toy Story is actually probably the newest of the bunch.
The book is divided into sections covering magical words, attitude, playing nice, being aware of bad apples and so much more. And then within each chapter are quotes that are taken right out of the movie with the left page being dedicated to an illustration from the movie and the right having the quote that is taken, which character said it and in what movie they were found.
Only one section may not be for younger children and that would be Don't Forget to Laugh since the jokes that are included are mostly puns so they may go over some heads. The only other thing I saw that was a bit on the weird side is that hair color seems to change for at least two of the princesses but it could just have been the lighting for the shot maybe.
Definitely a charming book that will delight many Disney fans who need a light read and pick-me-up.

Lots of cute little quotes, although I found the difference in art styles a bit jarring. (Some were softly rendered watercolors of the older classics; others seemed to be stills from the newer movies). Also, although some less popular movies were included (A Bug’s Life, The Fox in the Hound, The Hunchback of Notre Dame), which was nice; other, more popular movies weren’t included at all. (Where’s Peter Pan?)

I found this book very useful, but probably not for the reasons the publisher intended. As a scrapbooker and cardmaker, I'm always on the lookout for interesting and/or heartfelt quotes. And for a Disney fan like me, nothing dresses up a greeting card or a scrapbook page like a good Disney quote.

Perfect!

This is a good book of Disney quotes especially for kids. They used pictures from different Disney stories and books and though they matched with the quote they were all a bit different which is probably because they were from different editions. If they had used pictures that flowed together a bit better I would have given it a higher rating

I bought this book while on vacation at Disney World in Florida. This book will be a great addition to my classroom because it provides words of wisdom as quoted from the Disney characters. I love this book!

It was a super cute book. I enjoyed it, but I didn't like the fact that there was two pages for one quote and picture instead of maybe one page per quote.

Great for young children.
