Synopsis

This is the ultimate reference for all things Disney. It is the revised and updated third edition of the only official guide to absolutely everything beginning with "Disney"! The Walt Disney Company has become a part of the cultural consciousness of literally millions of people from virtually every corner of the globe. With countless numbers of guests flocking to the Happiest Place on Earth every year and children, small and big, the world over captivated by film after breathtaking film, "Uncle Walt" and his army of helpers have created a universe unlike any other. The "Disney A to Z" covers every aspect of Disney history in more than 6,500 entries. It lists all theatrical shorts and features; all Disney television shows, series and specials; all Disney educational and nontheatrical films; all Disney park attractions, along with major park resorts, restaurants and shops; key Disney company cast members; primary actors in Disney film and television productions; important songs; and a whole host of other elements that make up the Disney universe. It includes the award-winning "ABC" series "Desperate Housewives" and Disney's most recent animated feature Chicken Little.

Format:Hardcover
I can safely say this book is a "must have" for any fan of Disney. <P> The book, "Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia," truly lives up to its billing. Beginning with "Ames, Willie" (television star of "Runaway on the Rogue River") and ending with Zort Sorts (an educational 16mm film about an environmentally helpful alien), this thorough book leaves no stone unturned. <P> Whether you want to know more about Disney's early years (see Kansas City, Iwerks, Alice Comedies, or Oswald the Lucky Rabbit), or wish to learn about Disney in the 90's (see Ovitz, Captain John Smith, Disney's America, or BoardWalk), it is all here. <P> What's your favorite thing about Disney? Movies? You'll find entries about "Snow White" and "AIDS: What Do We Tell Our Children." Music? The Sherman Brothers are listed, as are Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. Restaurants? "Disney A to Z" has brief descriptions of Ohana and Club 33. <P> If you would like to learn

Great resource! 16 Jan 2007
By M. King - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful resource for a one-stop look at "all things Disney." However, be forewarned that this book does have its mistakes and is not completely thorough, so don't expect something exhaustive...but this is pretty close to it. Descriptions tend to bounce back and forth between incredibly descriptive to incredibly nondescriptive. A tv show that lasted literally only a month will sometimes have a much longer description than a park attraction that had been up for years. There are other mistakes that veteran Disney lovers will also note. For example, the encyclopedia lists "Pecos Bills" eatery (Frontierland) in Disney World as serving some Mexican fare. However, that is incorrect...the Mexican fare is served at "El Pirata y El Perico" eatery (Adventureland), but this eatery is not even listed in the book at all. The two do share an outside dining area. It lists "Caribbean Plaza" (home to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride) in Disney World as "near Adventureland", when it's actually a part of Adventureland and borders Frontierland. Those are just a couple of examples of little mistakes throughout the book. That said, it is a wonderful compilation of everything Disney and is a great gift for any Disney lover!

Great source of infomation! 12 May 2007
By Patrick Pedneault - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a great resource for all Disney fans. All the characters, all the movies (unfortunately, the Mephisto movie made in collaboration with Salvador Dali is not in the book) and all the attractions, parks, properties and influentials employees are mentioned. Maybe just not as exhaustive as I would like it; it is, however, a great resource.
