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 never seen the Disney movie, so I didn't know anything about the story. I picked it up with my 4-year-old niece in mind. She's just starting to read. Well, my 6 yr old nephew took one look at the title and got so excited that he abandoned me in search of his parents so he could tell them about the book. I hope he's not disappointed ... there isn't much to this story, and it's fairly awkward.
Today, I also realized that he is an exceptionally strong reader. He picked up volume 5 of Harry Potter, and smoothly read a paragraph without stumbling and with expression. Which is why I expect him to be disappointed with this little book.

This book was a Step into Reading (step 2). It is based on the Disney Pixar Walle. It was incredibly cute. Walle lived all alone and longed for love. His quest came to an end when a spaceship landed one day and a new shiny robot came out, Eve. Her job was to find life on the planet, when she did Eve shut down. Walle tried to bring her back to life by caring for her, but it was no use. Until the spaceship came for Eve, when it took both of them aboard, Eve noticed that Walle had taken care of her. She learned what love was from Walle. In the end they go back to Earth, where there is love and life after all.
It was a very fun and cute story that many students enjoy in my classroom. It is a great book for early readers, especially those that love science fiction and Disney. This book can appeal to many different audiences.

This is a step 2 reading book which briefly covers the movie Wall-E. It focuses on the relationship and love between Wall-E and Eve. I think it could have gone a bit further with exploring the meaning of love and spent less time on the background but then maybe some kids would have not related it to the movie as well.
Fun and gentle and some good lessons.

I read this to my grandson. There seemed to be a disconnect in the storyline. I thought they could have done a little better.

We own the French but haven’t yet read it, but read the English.
We’ve never actually watched this movie, any of us. It was an interesting story.

As you'd expect, this book tells just the love story aspect of the movie Wall-E. There's no new information or scenes. I love this soft illustration style though.
Really, as an adult reader, this book should get 2 stars, but I can't bring myself to give just 2 stars to something Wall-E related!
