Product Description
Featuring gorgeous vintage artwork from the 1950s and 1960s, Walt Disney's Classic Storybook pays homage to the storybooks of yesteryear. We've taken eighteen of Disney's classic stories -- including Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Dumbo -- and paired them with the stunning and detailed art that was published with these stories decades ago. Parents will recognize this artwork from the beloved Disney storybooks of their youth, and will delight in sharing these timeless treasures with their own children.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible deal, August 24, 2007
This book is one of Amazon's biggest bargains. It's a collection of 18 classic Disney short stories, illustrated with restored artwork from 1950s and '60s Little Golden Books and printed on quality gloss paper -- which has silver gilded edges like that of a fine photo album. You'd think it would cost about four times as much.

Its stories come from nine Disney movies and nine Disney cartoons. The movie narratives are:
* "Sleeping Beauty"
* "Lady" (from "Lady and the Tramp"
* "Mary Poppins"
* "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
* "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party" (from "Alice in Wonderland")
* "Pinocchio"
* "Dumbo of the Circus" (the story of "Dumbo")
* "101 Dalmatians"
* "Peter Pan"

The cartoon tales are:
* "Pedro" (one of the animated shorts in the 1942 film "Saludos Amigos")
* "Once Upon A Wintertime" (a short from 1948's "Melody Time")
* "Three Little Pigs" (a 1933 Silly Symphonies cartoon)
* "The Grasshopper and the Ants" (a 1934 Silly Symphony)
* "Johnny Appleseed" (a "Melody Time" animated featurette)
* "The Tortoise and the Hare" (a 1935 Silly Symphony)
* "Scamp" (the story of Lady and the Tramp's son, the basis of 2001's "Scamp's Adventure")
* "Bootle Beetle's Adventure" (from "Bootle Beetle," a 1947 Donald Duck cartoon)
* "The Old Mill" (a 1937 Silly Symphony)

Each story is 10 to 20 pages, with less words (and larger type) than its original Little Golden Book, but at least one illustration per page. The style of art varies. "The Grasshopper and the Ants" uses muted watercolors. "Three Little Pigs" has some sepia-toned pencil sketches. "Alice in Wonderland" and "Once Upon a Wintertime" feature artist Mary Blair's vibrant use of white. And "Mary Poppins" literally pops off the page, with a vivid rainbow of colors straight from the 1960s.

If you buy this book, you'll keep it forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Short Stories before bed, but not "Classic", October 11, 2007
By E. Peters (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my daughter's 5th birthday so we could have a good bedtime book. The stories are classic in the sense that they have some of the original characters and some of the original themes, but they are slightly condensed. For example, we read the story "101 Dalmations" one night, and the story ended happily but prematurely. My wife and I looked at each other quizzically because we knew there was much more to the story, but my daughter enjoyed it. It appears some of the stories are edited to fit in the short format, which is fine if that is what you expect. When I read the other reviews and the description, I expected full length stories. This book is very good and we thoroughly enjoy the stories, but if you want complete stories that are "Classic Disney" you won't get them here. Prepare for a slightly condensed version of classic stories. Overall, still a great product.

This is great for bedtime reading, as lots of stories and you can read a few everynight, over and over again.
