At least that's one possible opinion that shouldn't really be any more ridiculous than certain others... Sorry if I'm painfully off-topic here.

I've only read these two (heck, I have them!), but I wanna read Mouse Under Glass.

Great list Lars! I've always wanted a list of the Disney books. I own quite a few of those

I would also like to add a couple of titles though:

Lilo and Stich: Collected Stories from the Film's creators

Treasure Planet: A Voyage of Discovery

Brother Bear: A Transformation tale.

The next two are not quite as good but I still like them:

Atlantis the Lost Empire: The Illustrated Script

Home on the Range: Adventures of a Bovine Goddess

Yea....that's kind of a long list, even for someone who loves to read.

Oh my Goosh! I guess I'm really not a true Disney Fan . I didn't even know that all those books were around. I just like collecting the DVD's and waching the movies. Well, Live and learn.

whatttt!!! I am a half disney fan!! i have onle read 16 books of that list!!

Why can't we all just get along, join hands in a circle, sing Kumbaya, and fantasize that every Disney DVD is a worthwhile 2-Disc all uniformly named "Disney Edition".

wow!!! i would love the disney edition!! i want disney edition!

Hey don't worry! If you like the titles on DVDs that's fine. It's just I can't see the point of them. But everyone is entitled to their iwn opinion, and this wouldn't be a proper discussion board without a few members having a bit of a disagreement every now and then! It's forgotten already!

Rebelde, you are forgiven. It's great now that you know you were wrong. A lot of people in this forum never apologize when they have done something wrong. You are one of the rare ones, and I'm really happy.

How could anyone resist?

Bah, I just read most of this and I found it to be sensationalistic rubbish! Well maybe worth a read, in direct contrast to a good Walt Disney biography, but not something I'd recommend to own. Just my opinion.

Hey rebelde - You're alright.

I basically agree - if you should read just one Walt Disney biography, this should NOT be the one. If you read five or ten, on the other hand, it doesn't hurt to make this one of them.

I Saw this book at my library but I didnt read it. The title didnt make any sense to me

We were talking about criteria for being a Disney fan. Wonder if any Disney fan is buying this... :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... eName=WDVW

Goodness, $300,000??? Just how rare/valuable IS that book?

Escapay

I already own that book, so the fact that it is signed doesn't really inspire me to get it again.

I own that book myself, it's even the original 1981 edition with slipcase, signatures and one foot of Pinocchio film. It even has an original cardboard box. It has been opened a few times, so it may not be quite as "new" as the one offered here. However, I'd happily part with it for $50000, a mere 6th of the price that seller charges.

Seriously, $300 would be quite cheap for this book. $1000 may not be entirely out of line. Even if this copy is as exceptional as the seller seems to think, I cannot really imagine that anyone would pay $3000. $300000 - get out of here - the seller can't be serious about that.

I have never read any of those books and I have never heard of them! I guess I just like to collect the movies.

And I apologize tp ichabod for calling him a non-disney fan.

Apology accepted, now let's all forget this mess, and get together and brandish maces at Michael Eisner!
