Man kann über Donald sagen, was man will, aber eins ist er auf gar keinen Fall: ein farbloser Charakter! Im Gegenteil, kaum einer von unseren Entenhausenern treibt es bunter, um dem ach so grauen Alltag einen möglichst leuchtenden Anstrich zu verpassen. Aber ist alles Gefärbte auch immer farbecht? Farbe kann zum Fluch werden! Zumal wenn ein seinen Nächsten nicht immer einträchtig verbundener Zeitgenosse wie Herr Duck plötzlich tatsächlich zum Pinsel greifen und eine Fahne zum „Tag der Eintracht“ gestalten soll. Warum? Neuer Job mal wieder, das gehört zu Donalds Aufgaben als Hausmeister im Entenhausener Rathaus. Aber von wegen Pinsel, so was ist Donald natürlich viel zu popelig. Und so strebt er trotz der Warnungen seiner Neffen und seiner – ihr erinnert euch – ohnehin schon fatalen Erfahrungen mit Farbkatastrophen, nach Größerem. Tja, so viel können wir schon verraten: Daniel Düsentrieb hätte seinen unvollendeten „Kolorkompositor“ mal besser nicht ungeschützt im Labor herumliegen lassen. Denn mit so was wird in Donalds Händen aus einem Tag der Eintracht schnell eine ganze Stadt der Zwietracht! Nur gut, dass bei der Farbpistole nicht auch noch wie an anderer Stelle in diesem Buch Destruktor, des Ingenieurs übles Alter Ego, seine fiesen Finger im Spiel hatte … Ein LTB, bunt wie das Leben, mit 10 farbenprächtigen Geschichten!

Note: The decision was made to consolidate all Disney publications under the name Walt Disney Company. This profile is for Walt Disney, the characters he created, and the company he founded. Any questions, please ask in the Librarian's Group. Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion. Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong. Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands. The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company. —from Wikipedia
