As the Walt Disney Studio entered its first decade and embarked on
some of the most ambitious animated films of the time, Disney hired
a group of "concept artists" whose sole mission was to explore
ideas and inspire their fellow animators. They Drew as They Pleased
showcases four of these early pioneers and features artwork
developed by them for the Disney shorts from the 1930s, including
many unproduced projects, as well as for Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and some early work for later features such as
Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Introducing new biographical
material about the artists and including largely unpublished
artwork from the depths of the Walt Disney Archives and the Disney
Animation Research Library, this volume offers a window into the
most inspiring work created by the best Disney artists during the
studio's early golden age. They Drew as They Pleased is the first
in what promises to be a revealing and fascinating series of books
about Disney's largely unexamined concept artists, with six volumes
spanning the decades between the 1930s and 1990s. Copyright (c)2015

Walt Disney always envisioned the studios that bear his name
remaining relevant by consistently taking creative risks and doing
the unexpected. Heading into the 1940s, he crafted an entirely new
division of the studio called the Character Model Department, which
focused solely on the details of character development. This latest
volume from famed Disney historian Didier Ghez profiles six
remarkable artists from that department, sharing uncommon and
never-before-seen images of their influential work behind the
scenes. With vivid descriptions and passages from the artists’
journals, this visually rich collection offers a rare view of the
Disney artists whose work gave rise to many classic Disney
characters, and who ultimately rewrote the future of character
creation in animation. Copyright ©2017 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

Two years before Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, four months after
the release of the first Mickey Mouse short in color, The Band
Concert, Walt Disney traveled to Europe and took conscience of the
extent of his international fame. His wife, Lillian; his brother,
Roy; and his sister-in-law, Edna went with him. They were feted by
nobility, by political elites, and by the most prominent European
artists, among whom H.G. Wells and Louis Lumiere. They came back
with more than three hundred books, which would remain sources of
inspiration at the Disney Studio for years to come. They came back
with a broader view of the world. And Walt came back with ideas
which would infuse his creations for decades. All in all, it was a
seminal trip at the height of Disney s Golden Age. But did Walt
really receive a medal from the League of Nations during his stay
in Paris? Did he really meet Benito Mussolini while in Rome? Was
the trip pure pleasure or did it involve much business? How were
the Disney businesses structured in Europe at the time? Using as
his sources Edna and Roy s diary of the trip, as well as hundreds
of European newspaper and magazine articles released in 1935,
Didier Ghez, for the first time, gives precise answers to those
questions, analyses the roots of Disney s expansion in Europe, and
lets us relive complete with dozens of never-released photographs
the trip of a lifetime, Disney s Grand Tour.
