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. This expansively
illustrated publication on Disney animation gathers hundreds of
images as well as essays by Disney experts, taking us to the
beating heart of the studio's "Golden Age of Animation." We trace
Disney's complete animation journey from the silent film era,
through his first full-length feature Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs (1937) and 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 triumphs came to life. Masterful cel setups
provide highly detailed illustrations of famous film scenes while
rare pictures taken by Disney photographers 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, and One
Hundred and One Dalmatians-is given its own focus chapter, without
forgetting less-familiar gems such as the experimental short films
of the Silly Symphonies series and under-appreciated episodic
musical films such as Make Mine Music and Melody Time. 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,
Mary Blair, Sylvia Holland, Tyrus Wong, Ken Anderson, Eyvind Earle,
and Walt Peregoy. Copyright (c) 2020 Disney Enterprises, Inc. About
