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.

Awesome book! I like it very much

It may seem a little silly that I'm adding this, but this book was seriously my childhood. I've read it hundreds of times, going back to each story over and over.
I am not one to call Disney magical, but this book certainly was to me. Putting it on my Goodreads account to commemorate it.

Love this book

God, my daughter loves this book. I mean, she really really *thinks* loves it. Know why? The pictures. She is princess obsessed and this book has lots of princess pictures. She loves lugging out this heavy collection at bed time and I cringe each time. The stories are horrendous. She tunes them out. She'll play with her doll after glancing at the picture for a few minutes. I read as quickly as I can, often leaving out entire inconsequential chunks or making up the plot entirely so she can flip on to the next page. I particularly dislike the Mulan stories which are violent and the Pocahontas stories which are a little weird. In all, this offers us nothing- no teachable moments or connections I can embellish on (I think there are attempts like in Heart of a Champion and in the one about Jasmine helping the orphan kids... but they're such crap who knows). I dread this book and try to bury it under the other, really good bedtime books.

I absolutely loved the beginning of this book. A lot of the beginning stories were summaries of the movies and very well done and there were some new stories I'd never heard before that I really loved, but as the book continued the stories became ones I've read over and over in many other story collections and that weren't as interesting as the beginning ones. It was an ok book overall but not what I had been expecting. It could have been a lot better but fans of the Disney princesses will still enjoy this storybook collection.

Inside this book captures stories that are near and dear to my heart. I am a huge fanatic of Disney, so I have literally seen almost every classic Disney movie ever made. And the fact that they have turned the classic princess movies into stories, but in a modified way (appropriate for children), I think that it is great! It allows an opportunity for children to connect with things that they might see in their own personal environment. It helps peek the interest of the things they like or what is relevant to them. Not to mention, there is always a great message within every story.

My 4-year-old spied this at the library and chose it immediately because it's about Disney princesses and looks a lot like the Disney "Princess Adventure Stories" book that she is obsessed with. I guess it's fine - some of the stories are just shortened versions of the movies. But man, reading it is torture!

Tudy ne, přátelé.
s. 29,30 a svlékl mokré oblečení, aby se usušilo. Potom se vydal za líbezným hlasem, který předtím slyšel. Růžence se mladík líbil, ale přece jen se před ním trochu ostýchala.
To se nedivím, když byl nahatý.
Nebo že by zpívala tak dlouho a jeho šaty zatím uschly?

Ugh!!! I love the princess movies, but this book is too much for me. My girls love it, so I am happy to read it to them since it is comprised of 19 short stories that can be read in five-ten minutes. But for me, it is hard to read about one. more. princess.

"A Royal Friend" and "A Rich Friendship" redeems an otherwise typical Disney Princess book. My girls loved all the stories from this book, but I especially enjoy reading those two.
