About This Item
New York: Harmony Books. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1988). First Edition. Hardcover. [very nice copy, with a tiny ink note at the bottom edge of the front endpaper, but no significant wear to either the book or the jacket]. (B&W drawings) Hilarious anecdotal memoir by a veteran animator and director who went to work for Walt Disney in 1931 and spent 27 years at the studio. His "uncensored anecdotes and lively drawings share a side of the Disney story only hinted at in other accounts." The Foreword is by Leonard Maltin, who praises the book for providing "a sense of the day-to-day reality of life at Disney's." The book is entirely illustrated with Kinney's own drawings, many of which are caricatures of his Disney colleagues -- and of course of Walt himself, who he calls "a genius whose enormous vision was equaled only by the size of his ego." .
