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.

The Tigger Movie is my second-least favorite Pooh film, ranking just above the morose Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin. Like that movie, this one veers far from the Milne canon, barely including anything from the books except the characters. To spice it up, they even include a big action sequence at the end with an avalanche and characters falling off a cliff. Fortunately, there are some decent songs and a cute scene of everyone in the Hundred Acre Wood in Tigger costumes.
The story: despite years of taking pride in the fact that "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers" is that he's "the only one," Tigger decides to seek out his blood relatives. The search goes poorly and his friends start lying to him like crazy in a misguided bit of comforting, but after the deception is revealed he still decides, predictably, that they have been his true family all along.
This picture book adaptation pares the words down to a minimum -- which is nice in picture books, as too many authors feel the need to plaster them with text -- but still manages to effectively convey the heart and tone of the story in a fun way. Well done!
Side note: There are several distinct adaptations of The Tigger Movie. Several of the adaptations like this one have different text for the story but use the same art that is credited in The Tigger Movie (Disney's Songs & Story) (ISBN 0763406007) as, "Illustrated by the storybook artists at Disney Publishing Creative Development," with art direction by David Braucher. It was an added bonus to reading this book to compare it to that one (which I'll officially read in a few days) and compare how the designer of this one chopped, cropped, photoshopped, and flipped the images which were apparently all drawn originally as big horizontal rectangles but now fit in a variety of shapes and spaces.
(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:

I remember seeing The Tigger Movie as a child. I always liked Tigger because he was so cheerful so when I watched it i never watched it again because it was so sad.
Before reading this book, I recalled how sad the movie was but thought that it was so long ago that it wouldn't bother me.
Instead of being saddened by the story I found that it was really good. Tigger searching for his family only to find them in his friends was perfect! I guess I wanted him to find exactly what he was looking for in the way he expected it to be as a child and was disappointed by that. I guess it is a change in perspective for me.
