You may well know that Mickey Mouse's first appearance was in the 1928 cartoon Steamboat Willie, but do you know where Donald Duck made his debut? With the help of Disney A to Z: The Updated Official Encyclopedia, you'll know that Donald made his first appearance in 1934's Wise Little Hen--and that his middle name is Fauntleroy. This wonderful book contains hundreds of illustrations and nearly 3,000 entries covering all aspects of Disney's world, from brief synopses of all the Disney cartoons, films, and television programs to the names of the restaurants and shops at the Disney theme parks and the names of all 39 original Mouseketeers. Compiled by Dave Smith, Archives Director for the Walt Disney Company, this book is the definitive guide to Disney. For example, a glimpse under the letter "P" reveals that Prince Charming was the prince in Cinderella, Prince Eric fell for Ariel in TheLittle Mermaid, Prince John was the "phony King of England" from Robin Hood, Prince Phillip kissed Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty--but that the prince in Snow White was simply called "Prince" (He shouldn't feel bad--the evil queen was simply called "Queen."). At times the book is a bit too mouse-eared--Rita Moreno's entry reads "Actress; appeared on television in episodes of Zorro"
