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.

November 30, 2013Title: Spanish picture dictionary. (2005). New York, NY: Disney Press.
Name: Brittany Herrera
Type of Reference: Dictionary
Accession Number: 69262559
Description: This book captivates students with the use of familiar Disney characters. The book is broken into themes such as “Vacations and Traveling”. The themes then give images and the accompanying Spanish term. This would be great to add culture to a not so diverse school population!
Review:
Intended for use in Spanish as a Second Language programs, this colorful offering goes way beyond being a simple picture dictionary. The clever use of Disney/Pixar characters and scenes to accompany the text is sure to captivate children. All of the well-loved characters are drafted for this bilingual effort-from the classic (Donald Duck) to the more contemporary (Sulley, from Monsters, Inc.). The dictionary is arranged by broad themes presented in a series of spreads. For example, the chapter on "Vacations and Traveling" has pages on traveling, the weather, seasons and months, on the farm, on the beach, etc. Careful attention is paid to the proper use of the definite article, rules of grammar, and proper pronunciation. Addenda includes helpful information on numbers, both prime and ordinals; telling time; colors; and shapes; as well as substantial word lists-both English to Spanish and vice versa. This well-"imagineered" resource is perfect for home or classroom settings.

I'm glad I bought this book when I did. It looks like it is out-of-print now. Although you can still buy some used copies on amazon.com.
I'm a visual learner and I love Disney, so reading this book was a fun way to learn some Spanish vocabulary. I like how the book had English translations of the vocabulary words and the sample sentences. I plan on looking at this book from time to time to review basic vocabulary words.
