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.

This collection of short stories is my favorite book of the Pooh Project so far!
"Something New" - 4 stars
Christopher Robin wants to spend the day doing something new and different, so he and Pooh push each other out of their comfort zone with a game of follow-the-leader that has Pooh attempting cartwheels -- Oh, dear! -- and Christopher Robin writing hums. Piglet joins in the fun.
"Just Try It, Dear" - 2 stars
Roo makes a face when Kanga wants to try a cookie recipe that has no sugar. The lesson gets muddled when the cookies go awry and everyone shows up with their own sweets for a pot-luck party at Kanga's house.
"If I Were You and You Were Me" - 3 stars
Tigger and Rabbit walk a mile -- or bounce a mile, rather -- in each other's shoes and get a better appreciation of the other's point of view. A fine iteration of an old trope.
"Piglet Shows Some Talent" - 4 stars
Piglet is anxious about his act in the talent show Owl is organizing, but some reassurance from Pooh eases him past the butterflies in his stomach. Piglet at his cutest.
"Oh Bother! (or Eeyore Sleeps Over)" - 4 stars
Eeyore guilts Pooh into inviting him over for a slumber party. It's a little awkward for them, but very cute for us readers.
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

It's a slow paced collection of everyday stories from the hundred acre wood. Simple, charming, but not as fun as the shows, I'd say.

It's Winnie the Pooh, what's not to love.
