Review: This Book Fills An Important Gap In the History Of Animated Motion Pictures - The book is an extremely detailed and well-researched account of the life and film legacy of cartoon animation-pioneer Paul Terry. Creator of Farmer Alfalfa, Heckle & Jeckle, and Mighty Mouse. An incredible wealth of fascinating information about the Terrytoons Studio. The studio that has long been ignored and dismissed by film historians. From the early years of the twentieth century to mid twentieth century, Terry produced thousands of theatrical cartoons that were incredibly popular with audiences (despite the scorn of critics). His films were not as artistic as Disney or other studios, but he was a survivor. When television arrived, he recognized the value of his backlog of films and also realized TV would soon put an end to the theatrical cartoon market. So, he sold his films and the cartoon studio to CBS for 3.5 million dollars in 1955. Making him the shrewdest of all the other animation pioneers.
Review: Long waiting book for a long forgotten Paul Terry - excellent biography, very entertaining and well written. Paul Terry and his Terrytoons deserved this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for the serious animation history aficionado
*by K***R on March 26, 2018*

An unparalleled and thoroughly detailed exploration of Mr. Terry in all his facets. Meticulously researched and well written, Mr. Hamonic here fills a lacuna in the early history of animation, drawing on a wealth of information that spans innumerable sources. A definite must-have for the library of anyone with a serious interest in Paul Terry or the history of film animation in the first half of the 20th century.
