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rarely seen artworks, many of them previously unpublished.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. Copyright (c) 2021 by Disney Enterprises, Inc.
