DISNEY'S ART OF ANIMATION: FROM MICKEY MOUSE TO HERCULES. by Thomas, Bob - 1997

New York: Hyperion, 1997. 224 pp, 11 1/4" H. Hologram on front cover, profusely illustrated throughout in colour and b&w. "(T)he newly revised 'Disney's Art of Animation' covers the history of animation at the Disney Studio from the birth of Mickey Mouse to Disney's latest animated film, 'Hercules'. (It) includes 'Aladdin, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', 'The Lion King', 'Pocahontas', 'Toy Story', 'James and the Giant Peach', and 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and features a special 'making-of' section on 'Hercules'. (This book) celebrates the magic of animation though Disney's numerous animated feature films. Thomas explains basic animation techniques and provides examples of story sketches, layouts, animation drawings, and background paintings - all the elements that go into the making of an animated film. With the full cooperation of the Studio and total access to its archives, Thomas conducted dozens of interviews with the animators themselves, and the result is a remarkable tour behind the scenes of the magic we see on the screen."
