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.

MY PERSONAL CHILDHOOD CHALLENGE RE-READ FOR AUGUST
Oh, Aurora was always my favourite Disney Princess! 👸 Perhaps because this was my first Disneyland Storytime Reader as a child. I played this record and read along with the book and gazed at the pictures over and over. Maybe this was the true start of my love for Princesses and Royalty! 😉
When I sat down last night to listen to this record and read the story I was overcome by nostalgia when I saw the pictures in the book. It really brought me to a place of joy as I instantly remembered those lovely illustrations in the book. I can't rate this anything but 5 glowing stars. It's a story that is special to me and one that takes me right back to my childhood. It's been many, many years since I've looked at this particular book. Once again I was so happy to hear the "chimes" when it's time to turn the page..only thing no Tinkerbell this time 😊

অনেক দূর দেশের রাজার নাম ইভান। বহুদিন পর রানীর এক মেয়ে হল। রাজা আর রানী মিলে মেয়ের নাম রাখলেন অরোরা। খুশি হয়ে রাজা এক বিরাট ভোজ সভার আয়োজন করলেন। পরী এবং পাশের দেশের রাজা ডেভিদসহ সবাইকে নিমন্ত্রণ করলেন রাজা কিন্তু বাদ পড়ে গেছে ডাইনি কালোমতি। ভোজসভার আয়োজন চলছে সেখানে রাজা ডেভিদ তার ছোট্ট পুত্র ফিলিপকে সাথে করে নিয়ে এসেছেন। উভয় রাজা ঠিক করলেন বড় হলে ফিলিপ আর অরোরার বিয়ে হবে। কিন্তু ঝামেলা হল একটু পরেই, তিন পরী মিলে আশীর্বাদ করছিল অরোরাকে ঠিক তখনই হাজির হয় ডাইনি কালোমতি আর অভিশাপ দেয়। অরোরাকে সুরক্ষা দেয়ার জন্য তিন পরী পরিকল্পনা করে এবং রাজা রানীর অনুমতি নিয়ে অরোরাকে নিয়ে যায় বহুদূরে।
তাহলে কি লেখা আছে অরোরা আর ফিলিপের ভাগ্যে? প্রায় সবাই জানে শেষটা কি😄

I never really watched this movie or read the book when I was younger. I don't think it was as popular as some. I did love it though. I think Aurora is a beautiful princess

Whenever I think of Walt Disney I remember sleeping beauty one of the best stories that never seems to age. Loved the book and the film that really bought this story to life much to the delight of children both big and small.
My children and grandchildren love sleeping beauty. One of our favourite classic stories. Recommended.

Tuttu mutta aina niin ihana satu nukkuvasta prinsessasta. Tätä on luettu ja kuunneltu moneen kertaan niin töissä kuin lapsena.

like the book, but enjoy the movie more.

Hi, Nostalgia. You're a really great friend, Nostalgia, and I always enjoy your company. What will you bring me today, Nostalgia? Ohhh, this Sleeping Beauty book I used to have as a child because I was so mesmerized by the pictures, even though ironically I actually never saw the movie as a child? Fantastic! And just holding that old, pink, hard-covered thing in my hand again after all this time almost has me convinced I flew backwards in time back to when I was in kindergarten. That's the closest to magic and time-travel man has ever come (that we know of).
My favorite picture is the one where after everybody is asleep, they show the animals on the farm asleep, and there are two dogs (they look like spaniels), one resting his head on top of the other. It is the most precious thing.
And of course, Malificent (and her bird). She is a badass villain. Always has been.

My only complaint is that the illustrations aren't as detailed as the older books. The older books show the court in more detail, especially when they're on their way to Aurora's christening.

I'm reviewing the 1974 edition. Well nicely illustrated and well written. A very nice story time book read.

Oddly enough, I never saw the movie when I was younger, I only owned the book. So I always knew about the tale of Sleeping Beauty. I just always thought it was just a book. A good book though, with nice illustrations (that’s Disney for you), and a classic fairy tale.

Old classic written simple and smart for kids!
Collecting for my little one and myself :-)

Libro para Los Juegos de Booktube: Leer un libro infantil.
Me gustó el libro, la historia tuvo fantasía, fue corta (se lee en menos de 2 horas) y linda, con unas ilustraciones a color geniales y me entretuvo pero tuve serios problemas con el INSTALOVE y es que hubo DEMASIADO! Fue muy exagerado que Aurora y Felipe como con 5 minutos de haberse medio saludado ya se sintieran "enamorados" y que con menos de una hora ya afirmaran querer casarse y juraran que ya NUNCA MÁS iban a querer a otra persona y NO, simplemente NO! Se queda uno de "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?" No se conocen de NADA, qué es esto? Por Dios santo!!!
En fin, aún así la historia se disfrutó! 3 de 5 estrellas.

This is a book/tape version of Disney's Sleeping Beauty. It includes the song "Once Upon a Dream" during the book reading and "I Wonder" at the end.
Princess Aurora is hidden away with three fairies after she is cursed to die.

Lovely illustrations in this adaptation of Disney's Sleeping Beauty, which focuses more on events that occur with the prince than with Aurora herself. Still, though, children who are fans of this tale and movie are sure to enjoy this. Recommended.
April 14, 2020
This edition/version is a lot more detailed than others I’ve seen and read. It includes the fairies verse lines when they bless the infant Aurora and include the argument about dress colour (which is one of my favourite parts of the story and it’s so often absent).

Sleeping Beauty is my absolute favorite Disney movie of all time. I remember having this book as a kid and loving it just as much.

March 25, 2011I've had this one since I was little, and for some odd reason it's stuck around despite all my other childhood books disappearing. So now it's on the shelf with the rest of my baby's books.
