Purchased as a gift and my sister loved this. Would recommend for any Disney fan/ animator

The book arrived on time. It's like new. The illustrations are superb. Very nice book I recommend.

What can I say? A fantastic book if you are interested in animation. Beautiful to look at from start to finish. A must for any Disney collector. .

Love this book, it is an amazing addition to my animation book collection and is always worth picking up to get you inspired and motivated for animating.

Brilliant Disney Animation Archive Book. The book condition was neat. Brilliant drawings by Disney Animators. I use it for my Animation resources.

Stunning book and great addition to any disney collection! Has lots of great material!

This is a beautiful book that will have pride of place on any book shelf and will be really appreciated by a real Disney fan.

At first I was disappointed that there was no writing what so ever to anchor the sketches. Literally none. It would've been nice to have had a bit of description or the artist's thoughts to go along side. However, the more I stared at the pages, the more intrigued I became. I'm an animation student and I've learnt about the principles of animation (Disney are after all pioneers) so it's nice to see how movements are predicted and how the in between frames reach the desired end pose. When examining the sketches I like to see where the character puts majority of their weight, or the progress of secondary animation (like Dumbo's ears for example). Moreover, it's a real relief to know that even the Disney team does rough sketches first and then a cleaner version. This can be seen from the faint circles that might be drawn in a blue pencil and also it's nice to see the use of line of action. The harder I look at the sketches, the more I can guess how they created the characters and how they drew each frame. It's still amazing though and staring at the frames still seems magical because I'm seeing the actual sketches to my favourite characters and films. If you have the money I would recommend this (the price isn't too much) if you're interested in looking at the rough sketches for Disney films. However, if you want to learn more about the principle of animations, maybe the Illusion of Life would be better suited. Even I shall purchase it when I can.

Un libro gebial para quien quiere acercarse al gran mundo de la animación

Considerando comprar todos os quatro livros dessa série, esse livro é muito rico em detalhes e imagens das produções mais icônicas da Disney, é um mergulho nesse mundo mágico!

Incroyable livre sur l'art de l'animation des Studios Disney, le livre est assez gros et épais on y retrouve des dessins des différents films d'animation Disney allant de Steamboat Willie jusqu'à la princesse et la grenouille, avec des pages qui se déplie ,en dessous de chaque dessins est écrit le titre du film ainsi que le nom de l'artiste à l'origine du dessin. Si vous êtes fan de Disney ou que vous aimez l'animation je vous le conseil car les documents dans ce livre sont superbe.

Nel Dicembre 2009 usciva questo secondo, di quattro volumi tematici dedicati alla raccolta di materiale proveniente dagli archivi Disney.Con una selezione di brevi tratti di animazione che, anche se parzialmente, rendono comunque un'idea del difficile e complesso lavoro svolto da un disegnatore Disney nel rappresentare l'espressione dei sentimenti di un personaggio con l'esagerazione del movimento e la recitazione dell'intero corpo;passiamo in rassegna i maggiori titoli prodotti dalla casa del grande Walt, attraverso un intero secolo di cinema d'animazione.Un bellissimo artbook che consiglio a tutti gli amanti dell'animazione tradizionale (quella vera), testimonianza di un'età d'oro del cinema nella quale l'abilità e lo stile di ogni singolo animatore veniva esaltata dal carattere puramente artigianale del processo di produzione; molto tempo prima che il computer cambiasse le regole del gioco appiattendo questa forma d'arte unica.

Maravilloso recopilatorio de bocetos usados para disney, desde los cortos de animacion clasicos hasta alguno de las ultimas peliculas como tiana y el sapo o el planeta del tesoro.Si eres un amante de la animacion y de las joyas de estos artistas, sin duda es perfecto para ti.Muchas paginas, tamaño de imagenes grandes con desplegables que incluyen desde la transformacion del vestido de cenicienta, hasta el de Malefica a dragón.Muy muy recomendable
