Disney Books

This book features some of the rarest and oldest posters from the collection of Tony Anselmo. It's so nice that such a great and rare collection can be shared with everyone. Disney fans will love this. The posters are gorgeous, and this book is something you can keep for years and enjoy the history and artwork it holds.

This book is a superb supplement to the earlier Disney Poster Book from Hyperion (1993). These early posters certainly reflect the emphasis on quality by the original Walt Disney Studios. It's sad that movie posters are not what they used to be. It's even sadder that this tome shows (in miniature) a theater poster from the "Martins & Coys" segment of "Make Mine Music", yet today's Disney Company has decided to censor (i.e., "cut-out") this wonderful, creative segment in its recent DVD release, thus cheating its many fans . Anyhow, all aspects considered, I strongly recommend this tome as an essential addition to any Disney library.

This large book is a visual treat and features mostly rare vintage movie posters from both classic animated Disney shorts and classic animated Disney features. The book complements the similar Disney Poster Book published under the Hyperion label in the early '90's. This publication is quality-bound (with pages sewn, not glued, into the binding) and the graphics reproduction is generally excellent. It's truly amazing how much artistry went into many of these posters. A delight even for casual enthusiasts and a definite "must" for hardcore Disney aficionados!

This is a great little gift that will make a big impression and have long standing value for the kids in your life!

All the Disney princesses are here in this collection of stories that will thrill young fans of Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and more!

A smashing collection -- highly recommended.

Great set of 6 books and a great price. My daughter of course has a favorite, and we read them often. I'm sure your princess fan will love them too.

Any little girl who likes Disney princesses, will love these books. Little Golden Books are always a hit with my children, and these little books are just the same. Cute books for bedtime stories.

This is a great kid oriented calendar that our whole family uses. The date boxes are large to write numerous events and activities in. Purchased in 2007, 2008 and will continue to purchase in future.

I bought the Winnie the Pooh Calendar for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. But imagine my horror when I realized that Febuary had 29 days. OK I'm just kidding of course it has 29 days it's Leap Year. The pictures are entertaining and cheerful, much better than the Pooh calendar I bought last year. This is the one to buy if you're looking for Pooh, Winnie the Pooh that is.

Disney always creates a wonderful and colorific WTP calendar. I buy one every year. You can never go wrong in buying this for the WTP obsessed person in your life. Mostly the calendar consists of scenes with Pooh, Tigger and Piglet (mostly Pooh with Piglet) with the rare occasional appearance of Eeyore, also an appearance of Roo and/or a Heffalump. Not for fans of Kanga, Gopher, Rabbit or Owl as they are almost never in the calendars. It would be nice if all of the Thousand Acre friends were in at least one scene together. Also a nice bonus would be a few stickers to either put on the calendar or elsewhere.

I gave this to my cousin's son. He loved it. For a boy who doesn't enjoy school he was having a lot of fun reading this book.

This is a book for all ages.
Small children of all ages will love the pictures and parents can enjoy it as well.
My mother who is 81 loves this this book.
Finally, there is a book that explains our universe in a fun way for all of us to enjoy.
I think everyone on our beautiful planet should read this book!

I am the author of this book, and I just wanted to point out that the age level is not quite correct in the listing. We designed the book for kids who can already read pretty well. So the age range should be 10 to 14, not 4-8. (I think maybe the person entering the information meant grades 4-8.) In any case, as the author, I invite you to take a look at the beautiful color images and fun quips from Disney and Pixar characters throughout the book.

This is a marvellous compendium of useful facts about the world's largest theme park. I found it highly illuminating - it has profoundly altered the way I percieve Walt Disney World and its manifold attractions. Since I first tried it a few years ago, I've been using this book to guide my various trips to Disney World ever since.

I had a great vacation with this book

Since the choices in the field of Disney-related guides are vast, I was amazed that one should rise so far to the top of the class. The work is informative and wittily written. Fenster's humor will keep you rolling and his completeness smokes the competition. This ought to be the bible for any family or individual planning a Central Florida vacation. A really fabulous resource which directed my family's vacation and will do so again.

In this book tarzan outsmarted everyone. In real life you have to be smart to win, you dont have to be strong and be the bad guy you just have to use your brain well. As always parents get mad at acctivities you like and so did Tarzan. Dont you hate it!

My two year old son loves books.His favorite movie is Disney's Tarzan so this was a perfect choice for him. The book has beautiful pictures and is easy to read to a young child. It is also a wonderful tale for all ages, I have to admit I almost cried at the end!

This is another novel from Disney's The Parent Trap and I just love it! A must buy book or if you prefer more just go to the nearest cinema and see the movie for yourself if it's still showing.

I love reading Disney Books and I'd say this is the best one!!!

I love this movie! The originel book is called: "Lisa andlottie".My favorite actress is "Lindsay Lohan".I alwaysgo on her webpage.

I bought this book and cd for my first grade son who is learning to read independently. He and a third grade friend loved reading along with the cd in the car. Since the cd contains clips from the movie and the page turning sound is pleasant, this cd can also stand alone as car entertainment if it is too dark to read.

I teach students with Autism and they LOVE Disney movies. When I've tried the usual CD stories read by actors they weren't interested. This has original movie voices and sound effects. My students are going to go nuts!!

We bought this version of Finding Nemo for our three-year-old daughter who just loves it. The CD uses the voices and sound effects from the movie, and a jingle tells the child when to turn the page, so they can "read" it by themselves. The pictures are colorful and the story itself is quite complete. A good buy all told.

A fact-filled and riviting tribute to the world's most prolific and popular entertainer, bar none. There are dozens of volumes out there on Disney, many of them lavishly illustrated, which this one isn't. But they are not nearly so well written!

This book about Walt Disney has few pictures and they are not in color, which seems odd for a biography of one of the most coloful movie makers of all time. However, even though I was put off by this when I first thumbed through the book, when I actually began reading it my opinion changed. It is one of the very best summaries I've seen of Disney's life and work, and I've read several. It's very well written and sometimes even moving, and it goes into a lot of the background stories about him and his brother, Roy, who was always worried that the company might go broke becauase Walt tended to spend so much money. As the author points out several times, Walt knew that he had to spend a lot of money to get the level of quality that the Disney name has come to stand for. Everybody interested in Walt Disney should definitely read this book.

My book is called The Importance of Walt Disney and the author is Don Nardo. Walt Disney was one of the greatest entertainers ever. He was born into a large family in Chicago, and his parents felt there was so much crime and violence there, that they moved to a farm in Missouri. Even though Walt was very poor he loved being on the farm and watching the animals and all the colors. That's when he first started drawing! He drew on toilet paper because he didn't have enough money for paper! I think the conflict was Walt vs. himself because when he had a new idea for cartoon movies and people said it wouldn't be successful he believed it could and had the courage to try.

When we think of Walt Disney's creations we think of Mickey and Minney Mouse, the princesses, Disneyland, the little mermaid, Tweety, Alice and WonderLand, Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast and more. When Walt Disney died, his legacy lived on for many generations and even now. Some books make you courageous, exhilarated, sad, happy and so on. This book makes you feel courageous.

The book was exciting to read because before I read this I didn't realize that one man did all this great work. I grew up watching all the Disney movies and cartoons, so I really felt like I was inside the stories. The main conflict wasn't like in a big adventure or mystery story. It was a story of a man striving and dedicated to succeed his dream. The character of the book was a real life person and the make-believe characters seemed real too. At first when I read the ending I was disappointed that he died at age 65. But then when I read more I realized his life was so successful and his brother, Roy, continued to make more of Walt's dreams come true.

I felt like the author was like a brother to Walt. He really understood everything about this man. He wasn't real technical about how cartoons and movies are made but instead he described how Walt wanted all the characters to appeal to the children with upbeat characters. I thought there were a lot of challenging words like formidable, integral, propaganda. I thought the author was really descriptive. For instance, when he describes the most famous cartoon character Mickey Mouse was born "with a long skinny tail and short pants decorated with large buttons." Don Nardo the author paid a lot of attention to detail and included frequent pictures and actual photos.

My rating system is a 1-10, and I give the book a ten because I loved reading about a man who created all the movies and TV I've been watching all my life. I've been to Disney World, which was a place that Disney made sure all the people were clean cut American, happy friendly people.
I recommend this to anyone that doesn't believe that his or her dreams can come true. If they read this they would see how a poor man could accomplish a dream through courage and hard work.

If I were ever to be inspired by a person, Walt Disney would inspire me. He always believed in himself and tried to put himself out there and follow his heart even if people came down on him. Even when he was poor or when he became rich he always worked so hard to accomplish his goals. He believed in happy endings and his stories didn't have violence like most of today's movies.

I chose this subject because most non-fiction books are boring and this man told you an interesting story about someone's life. Most people wouldn't go as far as Walt Disney to fulfill their dream wouldn't. Even thought his family wanted him to work and not draw, he drew on toilet paper secretly in his free time. He was determined to do what he loved to do, draw.

Before I read this book, I learned about his cartoons in 5th grade and what they represented. Before that I knew many of the movies he made and watched many too.

Ten things I've learned from this book are:
-- Walt Disney died from smoking before Disney World was completed.
-- Walt Disney's brother promised him that he would finish the park.
-- Walt Disney was inspired of drawing by things around the farm like animals.
-- Walt Disney created more than 10 cartoons.
-- Walt Disney was born into a large family.
-- He died at age 65.
-- He created the first colorful movie.
-- They put their cartoons on TV, so people started buying TV's.
-- He created Epcot Center.
-- Walt was really poor when he was little.

This book told his life from when he was born to when he died. There were frequent photos that actually are pictures of him in his life. The book always had a new title and it told you it was a new subject.

I loved the book because things happened in the book that usually wouldn't happen like he created a park years and years ago that is still open now. That is really interesting.

I didn't like that Walt Disney died so early. I think he should have seen the park when it was finished.

This was one of the first books I remember from my childhood. I recently purchased it for my young one, and hope he remembers it as fondly as I do. A story of courage and strength in the face of adversity. Teaches some great moral lessons. Now... if only I could find the cartoon short on DVD....
