Book Description
With every animated film it produces, Disney creates a world like no other. Whether a lush jungle forest where an orphaned infant is nurtured, an African savannah revived by a prodigal young king, or a simple workshop where a wooden puppet can become a real boy, these settings and their inhabitants ring true to moviegoers and claim for these films a place reserved for classics. The list of Disney films that have achieved this status continues to grow. While The Lion King remains the top-grossing animated film in the world, Finding Nemo surpassed it at the U.S. box office in 2003. All told, 16 of the top 150 films of all time are Disney animated features, and 12 of the top 15 animated films are Disney titles. Evidence of Disney's popularity extends beyond the box office to home video/DVD sales where Monsters, Inc., sold a record five million copies on the first day of its release. This calendar once again devotes a year to presenting every Disney animated feature-including 2004's Home on the Range-and many well-loved film shorts, dating back to 1928's Steamboat Willie. Every full-color movie scene is accompanied by a fact or quote inspired by the film, and the bonus flip animation feature provides yet another opportunity to enter Disney's magical worlds throughout the year.
