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 can't wait to share this collection with my kids someday because it has the cutest old-timey illustrations. We got it for super cheap on Black Friday last year, which is a bonus!

This volume gathers seventeen timeless Disney classics, featuring vintage artwork, from storybooks of the 1950s and 1960s. Familiar tales such as “Cinderella” and “Peter Pan” are joined by several rediscovered tales including “Goofy, Movie Star, “Once Upon a Wintertime,” and “Scamp’s Adventure.” Certain to delight readers of all ages, this is a volume of treasured “once upon a time” tales meant for parents and children to experience together.
Highly recommended.

Oh my goodness, the illustrations!!! They're so beautiful, this odd sort of vintage style chalk pattern thing happening. they are a visual delight to behold, and the stories have enough word for word quotes from the movies to keep the whole thing memorable.

Really beautiful edition of a huge collection of Disney stories. Unlike the most common disney stories that are WAY too long, these are REALLY well-written. My girls choose them for storytime almost every single day. We also have the companion: Disney Treasury of Tales Princess Collection that we also REALLY love and recommend.

I managed to read a few of these stories to my children, but I read the greater majority of these tales to myself. I did it to study with how the book was laid out. The illustrations were well done, and the stories were fine. The stories have been shortened since these are directed to be read by, or to, children. I think the stories just short enough to keep a child's attention span.

I loved each and every one of the stories form well-known to those not well recognized!
