Today In History: Disney by Eve Zibart is an expansive, year-long compendium of informative "infobits" and trivia of the Walt Disney's elaborate and engaging business empire from its beginnings down to the present day -- all laid out in a kind of "fact for the day" format. For example: March 10th (1938) "The Old Mill" not only continued the studios' nearly unbroken streak of Best Animated Short Subject Oscars but also earned Walt Disney his first scientific and technical Oscar for the development of the multiplane camera. A Famously moody and dramatic film almost nine minutes long, "The Old Mill" depicts a Storm as it threatens a farmyard mill and the animals who make their home inside. Eventually, of course, the storm passes, the sun returns, and all is well. -- Name That 'Toon: Which animated film marked the first time mickey was digitally animated, using the technique developed for the Mickey's Philhar Magic attractions? (it gives the answer) and Disney Quiz: What is the former First Lady Nancy Reagan's surprising connection to the Disney movie "Aladdin?" -- the answer is provided). Compiling a wealth of fun knowledge and trivia quizzes on the history of the Disney theme parks, movies, television programs, technical accomplishments, memorable characters, the Mickey Mouse Club, and so much more, Today In History: Disney offers creative calendar of fun facts throughout the yearly on a "one-a-day" setup. The result is an all-inclusive and eclectic guide through Disney history. Today In History: Disney is enthusiastically recommended for all Disney fans.

This book gives you a daily "dose" of Disney magic. It is written in a calendar format and many interesting facts. A must for Disney lovers!

For those interested in Disney trivia this is a great book. Each date has a specific Disney fact associated with it relating to the date. This book has obviously been very well researched with a number of tidbits of information that I had not seen elsewhere.

For the Disney fan this book is a great way to get your daily dose.

I am reading the book right now and am enjoying all the little tid bits of information. The book is easy to navigate through with it being set around days of the year. Though, it is easy to forget that the author is talking about a specific day being "opening day" for a movie, someone's "birthday", etc.

This book is so much fun. I love having something small to read daily. Some of the trivia is even new to me!! A great addition to any Disney collectors library.
