Long before David Letterman made it a nightly ritual, groupings of ten seemed to be the most
common form of list making (commandments, amendments, FBI most wanted, etc.) Top 10
lists abound for everything today, from movies and music to sports and politics.
There is so much Disney history to cover, however, that it can’t be contained in one simple list,
thus “The Top 100 Top Ten of Disney.”
There is not a person on Earth who hasn’t come into contact with Disney in some way. Whether
seeing a Disney film, hearing a Disney song, recognizing a Disney character or visiting a Disney
park, the company’s reach is global.
The Top 100 Top Ten of Disney will collect the best of the best of Disney in a book of lists.
From Walt himself and the beginning of his company, to his successors who have broadened
the reach of the Disney brand well beyond where even Walt could have imagined it, this book
will cover every aspect of the 93 years of history that Disney has to offer. In it you will find
information on everything from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Queen Elsa, to the billion dollar
acquisitions of Marvel and Lucasfilm.
Written for casual and die-hard fans alike, The Top 100 Top Ten of Disney will revisit some
familiar characters, films, songs, rides, and personalities associated with Disney but will also
uncover some forgotten, obscure and overlooked parts of the company as well, such as the unlikely Disney films Victory Through Air Power (1943) and The Story of Menstruation (1946).
The book will be laid out in easy to read “bite size” pieces. It will be one of those books that the
whole family can enjoy and can be picked up and referred to again and again.
Author Bio Christopher Lucas is a lifelong fan of all things Disney. His admiration for Walt, and the
company he built, led Chris to create a one person show called “Of Mouse and Man” which has
been performed in several colleges, theaters and civic centers. He is also the coâ€author of Seeing Home The Ed Lucas Story, the critically acclaimed book released by Simon Schuster and Derek Jeter Publishing in April 2015. Christopher lives in suburban New Jersey with his two young sons. His goal someday is to take a vacation somewhere that doesn’t involve a visit to a Disney theme park.

We are talking about decades of history to comb through. It could easily feel like an encyclopedia that you’ll never finish. That’s where the Top 10 format really soars. Star of stage and screen, Christopher is all about delivering a fun time for his audience, whether they’re staring at a screen, or in this case, sitting down with a great book.
Whether you want to take a trip down memory lane, or you want to DOMINATE your trivia night enemies (maybe take down James Holzhauer?)."

Five Stars (*****)
There is a “magic book†out that may baffle most Sorcerers’ Apprentices and may even baffle some of the Disney Sorcerers themselves. How this “magic book†contains so much information is truly a marvel! _Top Disney 100 Top Ten Lists of the Best of Disney, from the Man to the Mouse and Beyond_ (Lyons Press) by author Christopher Lucas is an exhaustive, truly magical reference of lists of all things Disney from “Aladdin†to the zebras of “The Lion King†and most things before, after, and between those films themselves.
From Disney Parks to songs to obscure films and animated shorts to Disney figures notable and perhaps somewhat unknown, Lucas’ reference book runs the gamut. Fans of Disney who have been so for many decades are sure to find quite a few things they did not know before reading this book. I personally did not know some of the westerns, a few of the modern films, and even some of the CEOs and animators, for example.
By the way, Lucas does not get into some of the political or controversial aspects associated with Disney (one minor quibble I had initially was that he did not mention some of the issues surrounding a certain former CEO of the company, but this is not that kind of book). He also picks a few figures and aspects of Disney from the 90s and new millennium I might not (he does so, I think, to be representative of material from the company through many decades, not just classic Disney material). However, he handles writing the book as most excellent journalists would, without bias and to inform on a great scale. Also of note is that the publisher and he included many great visuals of posters, stills, and photographs interspersed throughout the book to aid visual learners and to make the book as digest-able as a very large Eat Me Cake.
In short (shorter than Sorcerer Apprentice Mickey this time), the Disney Sorcerers themselves will be flooded with information from this terrific tome but will find the parting of the waters has been well-completed by Lucas. And no brooms were harmed in the writing of this book or review. - A nice surprise showed up in my mail recently - the book "Top Disney" by Christopher Lucas. I enjoy watching re-runs of "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson, and many times Johnny would read off a list of some sort from a magazine or newspaper, with Ed McMahon then remarking that it was amazing that the list had everything you could possibly know about that topic in it. Just Amazing! Of course Johnny would correct him, then read from a list of "extra items" written by the show's writers.
Well, this book has many, many lists Johnny would have just loved. The author has compiled his top entries for a very wide range of categories. My favorite one, which was a total surprise, was finding my name on one of the lists. That may make me a bit biased, but I showed the book to a friend yesterday and once he stopped laughing at my name in there he said he really enjoyed the book. Pick it up if you're a Disney fan! - Whether you’re a hard-core Disney fan, or just someone who grew up loving the magic and mystery of the house of mouse, this should be on your upcoming reading list.

Whether you want to take a trip down memory lane, or you want to DOMINATE your trivia night enemies (maybe take down James Holzhauer?). - This book is simply FUN. Not a story, but actual top 10 lists that the author puts together with some categories you may not have expected. Author Chris Lucas is talented, and enthusiastic about his love for all things Disney. You can argue with some of his top ten lists by moving things around in the "rankings", but you can't argue with the fact that you will be mesmorized by the content!
