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.

Another middling adaptation of a really bad episode from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a 1980s television series.
In this one, Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Gopher are playing pirates, but they rudely dig for treasure in Rabbit's garden, so Rabbit decides to teach them a lesson by playing a prank on them. He fills a treasure chest with rocks and makes a map to it that he claims was drawn by his great-great-great-uncle, Long John Cottontail. He's sure they'll feel bad once they find the worthless booty, but then he starts to feel bad about them feeling bad and wants to undo the treasure hunt, but events are no longer in his control. The writers try to force in some zaniness before an even more forced heartwarming finale and a totally stupid and nonsensical twist at the last second.
You'd think a 44-page picture book adaptation of a 10-minute cartoon would be pretty faithful, but the uncredited writer of this adaptation adds a couple scenes that aren't in the cartoon. The uncredited artist has completely changed all the pirate costumes Pooh and his friends are wearing, which is a shame because I was hoping to discuss the significance of Piglet having a single earring in his right ear in the cartoon according to certain cultural practices of the 1980s. But maybe that is why the costumes were changed, to avoid any implications the animators were accidentally or even intentionally invoking.
FOR REFERENCE:
Picture book adaptation of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh animated segment "Rabbit Marks the Spot," from Season 2, Episode 8; first aired September 16, 1988 (listed on Disney+ as Season 1, episode 24); directed by Terence Harrison and Karl Geurs; story by Mark Zaslove and Bruce Talkington; teleplay by Carter Crocker.
(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:

Aubrey gives it two stars because it doesn't have Eyore in the story and that stinks.
