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.

it wasn't bad. A faithful telling of the movie.
what I want now it a deeper dive
into the world. Hope to find at least
a more "adult" novelization of the
movie or even a spin off story.
Disney never kicked money out of bed.
It must be around somewhere.

January 30, 2026When I read the novellas in the Twisted Tale Anthology, I also watched any media associated with the original stories. In the anthology, I read "Rattle the Stars." I am using this page as overflow. Official junior novelization
Before reading, I watched the following movies:
Treasure Planet
Summaries to compare are below.
Treasure Planet
This movie fits right in with the others from this time period. Weird planet and species, only one or two songs that play over a montage, and not based on a romantic conquest
I never watched this as a kid, but i can definitely see why many people love this movie. Very “goonies” vibes
- Jim is a rebellious teen who continues to get in trouble with the police
- Mom owns a diner?
- Jim finds a man dying. He gives jim something to keep safe from cyborgs
- The artifact is a map to treasure planet (jim grew up reading about it). Jim wants to go to get money to rebuild diner
- The ship they’re taking has a cyborg chef
- Sets it up to make it seem that the cyborg is jim’s father. Or at least new father figure
- The little good blob (who was sent to watch jim by the cyborg) is not best friends with jim and brought him to where he could hear the plan of the pirates
- Gets kicked off the ship. Morph leaves the map on the ship
- Meets a robot that was a helper to the captain that left the treasure. But he’s lost his mind
- Get to the treasure by opening the right portal. It’s in the center of the planet
- Skeleton of the captain had the robot’s mind in his had. Remembered of the booby trap
- Ship isn’t powerful enough to get away from the planet before it blows. Cyborg helps jim get a hoverboard thing to race to change the portal to the outside of the planet
- Lets the cyborg go, rebuilds the inn, keeps the robot and morph, the captain and the family friends guy have a baby

A quick read. Only took a couple of hours to read, but brought back so many memories of my childhood. Treasure Planet was my favorite movie as a kid an getting to read the book was a pleasure. I would have liked a bit more to the book, only 128 pages worth, and I would have liked there to have been more detail to it but being its originally for kids what can ya do. However I was shocked to see some of the larger vocab in the book that I don't see too often, (i.e Imbecilic, Ludicrous, Galleon, Plummeted) which took me by surprise. At times it felt like a kids book and at other times it felt like YA.

A brilliant tie-in book to go with the movie! It means a lot that this even exists, it’s my favourite Disney movie of all time!
The only thing missing was the confirmation of Doppler and Amelia’s relationship at the end, but I’ll forgive that.
