Reviews
One of "5 must-read books on animation design Flip through these to understand the history and principles of animation . . . The authors of this book, Frank and Ollie, created animated masterpieces like 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', 'Bambi', and 'Pinocchio'. This book looks at the way the duo played a role in turning the Walt Disney Studios into a powerhouse and highest standard in animation. By using simple language and avoiding jargon, the book looks at the 12 rules of animation the duo created, where an emphasis on characters being realistic, while having their own essence is explained." --Tini Sara Anien, Deccan Herald , 2022 One of "My Seven 'Desert Island' Animation Reference Books . . . Everything that could have already been said about this book has been said. Suffice to say, if you can own just one book about Disney animation, this is it. The development of the studio's approach to character animation has never been more clearly documented." --Amid Amidi, Cartoon Brew , 2013 One of the "Three books that mean a lot to me." --Rob LaDuca, Disney animation guru, Variety , 2008 "Thomas and Johnston, two of Disney's original animators, here give the inside scoop on how the studio created the works that have charmed the world. 'The text is ambitious,' said LJ's reviewer (LJ 12/15/81). The 'authors simultaneously give a history of Disney animation and explain the processes involved in clear, nontechnical terms.' Along with the splendid text are dozens of color and black-and-white photographs and illustrations. A 'magnificent volume' that remains 'essential for film collections and a feast for the most casual peruser.' -- Library Journal , Reed Business Information, Inc., 1996

Synopsis
The most complete book ever written on Disney character animation from the 1920s through the 1970s--by two long-term animators and Disney Legends. This delightful inside story describes the evolution of the animation art from and the ways Disney characters got their unique personalities.

They animated leading Disney characters and worked with others who helped perfect an extremely difficult and time-consuming art form. This illustrated volume is a "how-to animate" book crafted for anyone to enjoy. Frank and Ollie irresistibly charm readers with original drawings used in creating some of the best-loved characters in American culture, including Mickey Mouse and Cinderella. The authors showcase early sketches used in developing memorable sequences from classic movies such as Fantasia and Pinocchio . With the full cooperation of the Disney company and access to the studio's priceless archives, they choose the precise drawings to illustrate their points from among thousands of pieces of preserved artwork. Film buffs, students of popular culture, and fans who warmly respond to Disney animation will adore this collection. Some films Frank and Ollie feature: - Shorts starring Mickey Mouse , Goofy , and Donald Duck - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 - Pinocchio 1940 - Fantasia 1940 - Dumbo 1941 - Bambi 1942 - Cinderella 1950 - Alice in Wonderland 1951 - Peter Pan 1953 - Sleeping Beauty 1959 - One Hundred and One Dalmatians 1961 - Mary Poppins 1964 - The Jungle Book 1967 Frank and Ollie share Easter eggs, behind-the-scenes stories, and fun facts about: - The history and core principles of animation - People who directly worked on and influenced the films - The uses of live-action footage in drawing humans and animals for the films - The roles of artists, voice cast, and songwriters in preparation for the films - Story and character development processes to final frames, The most complete book ever written on Disney character animation from the 1920s through the 1970s--by two long-term animators and Disney Legends.

Some films Frank and Ollie feature: * Shorts starring Mickey Mouse , Goofy , and Donald Duck * Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 * Pinocchio 1940 * Fantasia 1940 * Dumbo 1941 * Bambi 1942 * Cinderella 1950 * Alice in Wonderland 1951 * Peter Pan 1953 * Sleeping Beauty 1959 * One Hundred and One Dalmatians 1961 * Mary Poppins 1964 * The Jungle Book 1967 Frank and Ollie share Easter eggs, behind-the-scenes stories, and fun facts about: * The history and core principles of animation * People who directly worked on and influenced the films * The uses of live-action footage in drawing humans and animals for the films * The roles of artists, voice cast, and songwriters in preparation for the films * Story and character development processes to final frames, The most complete book on the subject ever written, this is the fascinating inside story by two long-term Disney animators of the gradual perfecting of a relatively young and particularly American art from, which no other move studio has ever been able to equal. The authors, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, worked not only with the legendary Walt Disney himself but also with other leading figures in the half-century of Disney films. They personally animated leading characters in most of the famous films, and have decades of close association with the other men and women who helped perfect this extremely difficult and time-consuming art form (each feature requires some two and half million drawings ). Not to be mistaken for just a "how-to-do-it," this voluminously illustrated volume (like the classic Disney films themselves) is definitely intended for everyone to enjoy. Besides relating the painstaking trial-and-error development of Disney's charcter animation technology, this book irresistibly charms us with almost an overabundance of the original historic drawings used in creating some of the best-loved characters in American culture: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Snow White and Bambi (among many, many others) as well as early sketches used in developing memorable sequences from classic features such as Fantasia and Pinocchio . With the full cooperation fo Walt Disney Productions and free access to the studio's priceless archives, the authors took unparalleled advantage of their intimate long-term experience with animated films to choose the precise drawings to illustrate their points from among hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork carefully stored away. The book answers everybody's question about how the amazingly lifelike effects of Disney character animation were achieved, including charming stories of the ways that many favorite animated figures got their unique personalities. From the perspective of two men who had an important role in shaping the art of animation, and within the context of the history of animation and the growth of the Disney studio, this is the definitive volume on the work and achievement of one of America's best-known and most widely loved cultural institutions. Nostalgia and film buffs, students of popular culture, and that very broad audience who warmly responds to the Disney "illusion of life" will find this book compelling reading (and looking ).

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.

    Item was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!

    Item as described. Shipped quick. Packed well. They accidentally gave me the wrong tracking number. I contacted them twice with my concerns that package third party shipper never was received at USPS as of 5 days after it said they shipped. They helped me through but neglected to see they had issued me an incorrect tracking number. Otherwise, my transaction was excellent. I will give them a 5star rating since they quickly tried to help me with my concerns. Anyone can make a mistake.
