Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia (Third Edition)

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.

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.

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.

"Disney A to Z" is an awesome book that a true Disney fan cannot live without. It is a great book that will help you find out about old Disney movies, that you might have not seen. "Disney A to Z" encyclopedia is also an essential source for those that love to play the "Disney Seen it" board game. It gives a short description of ALL Disney movies including the short ones that came out after the World War II. I LOVE IT!!!
