"It's kind of fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney One of the
most creative minds of the 20th century, Walt Disney created a
unique and unrivaled imaginative universe. Like scarcely any other
classics of cinema, his astonishing collection of animated cartoons
revolutionized storytelling on screen and enchant to this day
across geographies and generations. In TASCHEN's first volume of
one of the most expansive illustrated publications on Disney
animation, some 1,500 images and essays by eminent Disney experts
take us to the beating heart of the studio's "Golden Age of
Animation." This landmark book traces Disney's complete animation
journey from the silent film era, through his first full-length
feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and the pioneering
artistic experiment Fantasia (1940), right up to his last
masterpieces Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) and The
Jungle Book (1967). With extensive research conducted through the
historical collections of the Walt Disney Company, as well as
private collections, editor Daniel Kothenschulte curates some of
the most precious concept paintings and storyboards to reveal just
how these animation masterpieces came to life. Masterful cel setups
provide highly detailed illustrations of famous film scenes while
rare pictures taken by Disney photographers and excerpts from story
conferences between Walt and his staff bring a privileged insider's
view to the studio's creative process. Each of the major animated
features that were made during Walt's lifetime-including Pinocchio,
Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp,
and One Hundred and One Dalmatians-are given their own focus
chapter, without forgetting less familiar gems such as the
experimental short films of the Silly Symphonies series and
underappreciated episodic musical films such as Make Mine Music and
Melody Time, all of which receive the same meticulous research and
attention. Many unfinished projects, among them the proposed
sequels to the legendary musical Fantasia or a homage to Davy
Crockett by painter Thomas Hart Benton, are also highlighted with
rarely seen artworks, many of them previously unpublished.
Throughout, contributions from leading Disney specialists detail
the evolution of each respective film. Realizing the Disney style
was a collective project and, as much as the master himself, The
Walt Disney Film Archives acknowledges the outstanding animators
and designers who influenced the style of the studio, among them
Albert Hurter, Gustaf Tenggren, Kay Nielsen, Carl Barks, Mary
Blair, Sylvia Holland, Tyrus Wong, Ken Anderson, Eyvind Earle, and
Walt Peregoy. First volume of one of the most expansive illustrated
publications on Disney animation. Produced with the assistance of
the Walt Disney Archives and Disney's famous Animation Research
Library. Covers the Walt Disney journey from the era of silent
films through to his final masterpiece The Jungle Book (1967).
Includes the first full-length feature Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs (1937), the landmark artistic experiment Fantasia (1940),
and beloved postwar classics such as Cinderella (1950) and Peter
Pan (1953). 1,500 illustrations and essays by eminent Disney
experts. Masterful cel setups provide highly detailed illustrations
of famous film scenes. Remarkable behind-the-scenes insight with
excerpts from story conferences with Walt and his staff and rare
pictures taken by Disney studio photographers. Copyright (c) 2016
