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.
Part of a sort of "expanded universe" for High School Musical, this book is true to the spirit of the movies; at least, the first two, which are the only ones I've seen so far. People who don't care for the franchise probably won't like it, but, for Disney Channel fans like me, this is at least somewhat enjoyable.
easily the best read of the year so far. the only thing i see topping it is the 7th book in the series bc that new girl is giving drama! tbh i needed this fanfic because i’m currently in a state of delusion and it was fun to read something that matched that energy!

Twenty some years ago, I took a children's lit class, and we were required to read some of the "pop lit" series to get a fuller understanding of what was available. This book definitely qualifies as pop lit. It is part of the High School Musical franchise, which I have not seen or followed, so I am completely unfamiliar with the characters or East High. Compared to other pop lit, like Babysitters Club or Goosebumps, this is a very uninteresting book. The characters are templates or stereotypes, the emotions are one dimensional, the plot is very bland,and the high school spirit portrayed here is so Disney-fied to be unreal. I realize this is a book for fans of the movie, and for reluctant readers, this might be a way to hook them. Otherwise, I think there are so many much better pop lit and well-written books. I will be reading one more as my children's lit professor had suggested (read two of each kind to get a better feel for the series), but I don't anticipate it will excite me any more than this one. I don't recommend it for adults at all or for most tween readers, but it has it's role in developing reading interest I guess.
easily the best in the series so far. i love how the reoccurring theme in this series is that troy and gabriella can never find time together. like guys, just text 😂
This story didn’t really wow me . Again it felt like girls vs boys in storylines. Troy and Gabriella are still bumbling their way through their relationship
An interesting and developed story, this author has really captured the characters throughout. This felt like a side story to the films and it was so great to read.
