This book is essential reading for any fan of Walt Disney Animation Studios！ Littered with gorgeous concept art and fascinating insights in to the creative process， this was a joy to read。 My only issues are that in this format （a collection of essays on each film） there is some overlap in content as different authors visit similar history。 I also found the Song of the South chapter to be quite forceful in its rebuttal of the film's insensitivity which didn't sit very well with me。 This book is essential reading for any fan of Walt Disney Animation Studios！ Littered with gorgeous concept art and fascinating insights in to the creative process， this was a joy to read。 My only issues are that in this format （a collection of essays on each film） there is some overlap in content as different authors visit similar history。 I also found the Song of the South chapter to be quite forceful in its rebuttal of the film's insensitivity which didn't sit very well with me。 。。。more

Je cherchais depuis longtemps un livre de ce genre， mais je n'avais jamais vraiment trouvé mon bonheur。 Livre hyper complet， on y apprend plein de choses ！ Une bonne occasion （excuse ？） pour revisionner quelques classiques。 Parfait ！ Je cherchais depuis longtemps un livre de ce genre， mais je n'avais jamais vraiment trouvé mon bonheur。 Livre hyper complet， on y apprend plein de choses ！ Une bonne occasion （excuse ？） pour revisionner quelques classiques。 Parfait ！ 。。。more

There's nothing like a massive Disney history coffee table book to wile away a few pleasant hours。 I love the big gorgeous set of film stills that precedes each chapter， and the concept art and photographs generously placed throughout。 The essays are wonderful to read， but I wish some had focused more objectively on their actual film instead of putting it down and comparing it so much to previous movies（ahem， whoever wrote the Sword in the Stone chapter）。 Some more prudent fact-checking was als There's nothing like a massive Disney history coffee table book to wile away a few pleasant hours。 I love the big gorgeous set of film stills that precedes each chapter， and the concept art and photographs generously placed throughout。 The essays are wonderful to read， but I wish some had focused more objectively on their actual film instead of putting it down and comparing it so much to previous movies（ahem， whoever wrote the Sword in the Stone chapter）。 Some more prudent fact-checking was also needed in a couple spots。 The descriptions of Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd in the Fun and Fancy Free chapter got mixed up， and the frogs in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr。 Toad croak "Uh oh"， not "Headless Horseman"。 But despite my nitpicking， this book is really nicely done， and I would love to see versions dedicated to the short films and to the live-action classics too。 。。。more
