Note: The decision was made to consolidate all Disney publications under the name Walt Disney Company. This profile is for Walt Disney, the characters he created, and the company he founded. Any questions, please ask in the Librarian's Group.

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've read several Wreck-It Ralph retellings today, and this is my favorite of the bunch. All the retellings seem to share the same art (which I talk about in a moment), so I was basing this off just the retelling itself.

This book is a longer retelling, but I enjoyed that it didn't try to rush through the story. The writing was engaging, and I liked how naturally the dialogue was interspersed with the action and emotions. My only complaint is that they left out Ralph being able to see Vanellope every time he was thrown off the roof. They kept so many other little details, yet left that out. Well, one more small thing. The page where Calhoun and Felix team up is very jarring. There's no transition. Other than that, though, this is a pretty good retelling.

Now, for the art. I love this art style. It captures the essence of the movie's style while doing its own thing. It's the main reason I own this book. Like I said, all the retellings I read used these same images, but this longer retelling has room for much more art than the other books, plus this book is bigger in size to better see the art. Not to say it has every single illustration (Ralph seeing Vanellope at the end when getting thrown off the building is missing), but it has images the other retellings don't.

Overall, this is an engaging retelling of the movie, with the real gem being the artwork.

This book is a great summary of the movie. There isn’t much dialogue and it cuts out a lot of the more unimportant parts but that doesn’t affect the story too much. The pictures were also great and looked just like the movie.

Paling suka pas bagian halaman terakhir. "Ralph tidak lagi butuh medali untuk membuktikan ia orang baik."

This is a golden book of the movie of the same name. It is abbreviated from the movie but is clever at covering the missing bits easily. A fun and entertaining story with beautiful illustrations.

Must've been a good movie for kids. I loved reading it out to my baby. :-)
Very humane values have been expounded through the various pixelated characters.
