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.

As a child, I read this book in the comfort of my own home. I remember reading it several times. I enjoyed this book so much because I was able to watch the movie version of it. As a young child, I did not intentionally compare the book and the movie. However, I think I preferred the movie to the book at the time because being able to watch the movie on the television was a better privilege than reading the book alone. Since I was only allowed a specific amount of time to watch movies, I don't think I appreciated the book as much as the movie. This has switched when it comes to books and corresponding movies today. I would much rather just read the book as I am able to vision it how I want to. This would be a great book to have in the classroom as I could read it with the students and then have them watch the movie. Comparisons could be made and students could enjoy connecting the two.

This is a really cute book from a great Disney movie. I read this to my daughter and she enjoyed it. She especially enjoyed seeing all of the animals in this book.
My daughter is still a little too young for this book to keep her attention the whole time. The sentences are longer, so she gets bored after a while, but overall this is a cute, enjoyable book.
This book teaches about friendship and loneliness, which is cute. These concepts are over my daughter’s head, but this will be a book we reread throughout the years, and she will eventually grow into it.

A really soft, sweet story about the friendship between Tod and Copper. The illustrations are very cute, and I love how a little tale about playing hide and seek in the woods can convey so much about friendship, loneliness, and trust. Very well done, effective storytelling.

A fun shortened version of the early part of the Fox and the Hound movie. It explores some aspects of a good friendship.
