They are the moments that dazzle us with their beauty and their meaning. Now, Quintessential Disney presents five of these iconic moments in all their wonder in a sophisticated three-dimensional presentation.Author Robert Tieman will select five pieces of original art from some of Disney's most classic films. Each piece of art will then be crafted into an elegant pop-up piece, suitable for display. These pop-ups will be contained in a case that opens at the center, so that the book frames the three-dimensional rendering for viewing.

Book Description
This expansive, must-have coffee table book paints a robust portrait of the Walt Disney World Resort, across half a century, through diverse and vibrant voices and mostly unseen Disney theme park concept art and photographs. Walt Disney's vision for the Florida Project begins with Disneyland and the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. After an imaginative and expansive design, a unique land acquisition process, and an innovative construction period, the Walt Disney World Resort celebrated its Grand Opening in October 1971. It featured a theme park dubbed the Magic Kingdom and three recreational resorts: Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. As Walt Disney World consistently grew and further evolved through the five decades that followed, certain themes reverberated: an appreciation for nostalgia, a joy for fantasy, a hunger for discovery, and an unending hope for a better tomorrow. Inspirational and memorable theme parks, water parks, sports arenas, recreational water sports, world-class golf courses, vast shopping villages, and a transportation network unlike any other in the world resulted in fun, festive, and familiar characters, traditions, spectacles, merchandise, and so much more. The resort has come to represent the pulse of American leisure and has served as a backdrop for life's milestones both big and small, public and private. Walt Disney World: A Portrait of the First Half Century serves as a treasure trove for vacationers, students of hospitality, artists, and all Disney collectors.

Book Description
In The Disney Treasures, author Robert Tieman led readers on a tour through some of the highlights of Walt Disney's career and company, from his early sketches and biography to the beginnings of his last projects at Walt Disney World and the building of an international audience for Mickey and friends. In this second volume, The Disney Treasures: Volume II, Tieman returns to the archives to fill in the history of Disney during Walt's lifetime, fleshing out some of the early stories with more details and interesting side projects and also visiting fan favorites that were neglected in the first volume.

Likewise, the design will capture the same sense of whimsy, fun, and elegance that the first volume did.

Book Description
During the Roaring Twenties--from 1921 through 1928--Walt Disney and his friends made more than ninety silent cartoons, turning them out as often as one or two per month. Years before Mickey Mouse, the young entrepreneur recruited and nurtured an extraordinary array of talented people. Drawing on interviews with Disney's coworkers, Disney's business papers, promotional materials, scripts, drawings, and correspondence, the richly illustrated Walt in Wonderland reconstructs Disney's silent film career and places his early films in critical perspective.

Book Description
Walt DisneyDownload for FREE on Kindle Unlimited + Free Bonus Inside!Read on your Computer, Mac, Smartphone, Kindle Reader, iPad, or Tablet.Was Walt Disney a purveyor of homely patriotic values or a representative of American imperialism? He could be said to be the quintessential American. He came from a family of immigrants, he worked his way to the top, and he always had a story to tell. The main theme always running through Disney productions was that of the underdogs and misfits trying to make it against seemingly insurmountable odds. It was just a part of his mentality since for most of his life he undoubtedly viewed himself as that self-same underdog fight against powerful forces seeking to keep him down. Because although we see Disney now as an incredible success story. It wasn't always that way. Inside you'll read about The Making of a Legend Taking his Art to the Next Level Striking it Out on his Own Mixing Family and Business Disney hits the Big Time Triumph and Tragedy Disney's War The Last Days of Disney And much more!Disney just like many of the character's he portrayed-even when the chips were down-picked himself up by his bootstraps and always showed the utmost of tenacity and perseverance. Disney knew what it was he wanted in life, he knew the vision he had for the future, and he was just stubborn enough to hold on until it was fulfilled.
