I would say this book is a must for any Disney fan. Tons of beautiful pictures - both photos and concept art, right from the creation of the Disney Brothers Studios in the 1920s. The book is divided into three sections: Drawn Disney, Disney in Action and Experience Disney. The Introduction has some fantastic timelines covering major events in Disney history from the 1920s onwards. Before reading this book, I didn't know that Walt Disney invented the concept of using story boards to make movies.

This is a really odd book and I'm not sure who it's marketed for. I'm a huge Disney fan but I knew pretty much all of this information. I don't think this book is particularly good for Disney fanatics who want an in depth look into the world of Disney but also anyone who only has a mild liking for Disney because it's almost too boring/fact filled for them so honestly, I'm not 100% of the point of this book.

It was fascinating to see how Disney started and all the drawing and history of some of the most popular Disney cartoon at the time and the beginning.

A good primer for anyone who's interested in learning more about Disney history (movies and theme parks).

As a Disney fan, I really enjoyed this book. It covered a little bit of everything Disney related (aside from a few major oversights like Marvel and Hollywood Studios) and I was able to learn quite a bit about Disney history and trivia. Lots of beautiful pieces of art, illustrations, and great photos. Highly recommend for the Disney fan! While it certainly isn't the most in-depth book (I'd buy another if I was interested in a specific Disney topic), it's a stunning coffee table book with lots of great info.

Beautiful illustrations, great information I never heard or read before. I really enjoyed it, and in fact, this book inspired me to watch some old Disney-movies that I have missed, and secretly I already finished two☺️

Of course I loved it it's a book about Disney! The only reasons why it's not a 5 stars is the way the book is written. I don't really understand the order, at the beginning it was chronological but near the middle the author didn't talked about every movies (and I hoped he did) and the order was not logical... it was bothering me.
I have to say that I didn't learned much so if you are a huge Disney fan and know basically everything maybe skip this one.
