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.

There really isn't anything to review, it just reminded me a lot of all the Disney animated movies I still have yet to watch... oops.

This is where my Disney book addiction began. I felt so smart reading this as a kid telling all my friends things about the characters. Definitely helped turn me into a Disney know-it-all all.

Dek, Mommymu pecinta Disney garis keras, sehingga sejak kecil Mommy ingin mengenalkanmu pada mereka, yang bukan hanya sekadar tokoh kartun bagi Mommy tapi teman melalui masa kecil hingga menjelang dewasa.
Salah satu favorite Mommy adalah Pinokio, first dating Mommy dan Papamu adalah menonton film ini. Sebenarnya itu adalah maksud tersembunyi untuk mengetes apa Papamu adalah The One. Merujuk pada pesan Peri Biru, " Suatu hari nanti kau mungkin akan jadi anak laki-laki sungguhan, namun pertama-tama kau harus membuktikan bahwa dirimu pemberani, jujur, dan tidak egois. Kau harus bisa membedakan mana yang benar mana yang salah."
Sebenarnya pesan tersembunyi di balik kisah Pinokio menurut Mommy adalah bahwa semua laki-laki adalah "boneka kayu" sampai mereka memiliki sifat-sifat dalam pesan Peri Biru. Godaan terbesar adalah masa remaja yang digambarkan sebagai Pleasure Island tempat mereka yang tergoda menjadi keledai.
Sampai di sini nostalgianya!
Buku ini adalah bacaan wajib pecinta Disney dan yang ingin menjadi ahli Disney, isinya tentang semua tokoh Disney di bawah 2010 (Mommy berharap mereka menerbitkan edisi terbaru) kutipan, terjemahan istilah, fakta seru, kuis kecil, dan hal-hal yang membuat pecinta Disney tersenyum ataupun menangis terharu.
Dari Disney Mommy belajar banyak hal, salah satunya adalah bermimpi besar dan percaya bahwa mimpi terbesar sekalipun bisa menjadi nyata.

So you think you're a Disney expert? Sure, you may know the words to every Disney Song and able to recite all the lines from your favorite Disney movie. But do you know the answers to questions like what is the dentist's address in Finding Nemo?, what is Mulan's family name? and why the words "Meega na la queesta!" makes an alien want to throw up? Hakuna Matata! All the answers are in this new encyclopedia from A to Z about all your favorite Disney and Pixar animated characters. If only they had published this when I was a kid.

Definitely a must-have item for Disney kids at heart! Filled with colorful pictures and fun trivias. What I'm a bit dissapointed in this book is the lack of details of my favorite characters and the absence of some other favorite characters, like Bolivar (Donald's pet dog), Joe Carioca and friends. It's still a good book, though. Really brings back sweet memories.

A fun and easy read with pictures and facts about some of the more well known Disney characters. I would have liked to see it go a little more in-depth, but overall a nice refresher course before we visited Walt Disney World. I haven't seen all of the movies and don't remember a few of them too well so it was a good guide for them. Perfect to get kids and adults pumped up.

It's an ok book. If you're a fan it's nice to have on hand as a flick through. It's not comprehensive by any means but it has its merits. What really irks me are the number of minor errors in the book, particularly having at least three instances of a missing space between two words. Annoying.

An older edition of the 2014 book of the same name. There was some overlap, but this book also had characters that the newer edition did not have. A good mix of vintage and modern characters. The fun facts, quotes and extra additions, along with character descriptions make in an informative read.
