Begin Your Journey With The Man Behind The Magic: The Story Of Walt Disney Conceptualized By Katherine Barrett Greene Accessible As Digital Format

did not know much about Walt Disney, except for the obvious, so found this book pretty interesting.
Though it is really a very condensed version of Walt's life it still gave me a good idea of what kind of person he was, what kind of family life he had and also how great his drive and ambition were.
Because of this we still reap the rewards of all his marvelous creations/ideas, bought/i love Walt Disney and his works, Disneyworld and his movies . not his new TV shows cough hanna montana cough
but, in the beggining of this book, i thought it was boring.
the facts werent clear and very discriptive, but as he was building disneyland, it got better, so if you like bios that doesnt show many dialoge, this is a good read, but maybe they should make a book about him making Diasneyland because thats what i found interesting.
All right, I saw the DVD, . . close enough. It reminds you that if you really want something, keep at it, Never give up and never quit dreaming, I picked this book mainly due to the MMM July challenge of the month was to read a biography.
I love alot of the Disney movies, and have just been to Walt Disney World this past June.
. . so Disney is on my mind, I never really read about the man behind the entertainment, The book gave a ton of information about Walt's

life, how lucky he was as well as the disappointments that occured in his life.
I recalled that Snow White was the first fullfeature cartoon, but I had thought that a Mortimer Mouse did come before the beloved Mickey Mouse.
There were also other tidbits thrown in throughout the book, Now that there have been several newtechnological films/cartoons, it's hard to appreciate the original trendsetters of the Silly Symphonies and the first animated cartoons.
. . so reading this book will help me appreciate the early works,

We also just came back from seeing The Amazing Spider Man as well as saw the preview for the remake of Total Recall.
It looks as if there are more remakes being made as the film technology advances, Makes me wonder if there will be remakes of the classic Disney movies but for now, all I've seen is that the originals are being taken out of the vault and getting digitally restored.
The Disney classic stories have kept remarkably well and I still love watching them, That shows the testiment to Walt's genius, And the parks are still great entertainment and constantly being improved upon, His work continues on and that's a good thing, I love everything Disney or Mickey Mouse related, This was a good read learning about the creative genius behind it all, This is a nice biography of Walt Disney not too long and definitely keeps the interest for "Tweens" assigned a biography.
Such am interesting and creative man, Awesome man, awesome book. Walt Disney was a genius, At a very early age he was creative, inventive and a dreamer, He could do just about anything, but he always had to be in control, he was never short of ideas, and he seldom let finances get in his way, How many times can you be on the brink of ruin and still see the possibility of great success

I love the man, what he has accomplished and the imaginary world he has created for children and adults.
For generations he set the standard for family entertainment, His filmsSnow White, Cinderella, Bambiare perennial classics, Now, Walt Disney's remarkable story is told for children from his childhood on a Missouri farm to the building of the Disney empire.
