Disney's Art of Animation #2: FROM MICKEY MOUSE to HERCULES

In 1958, Walt Disney encouraged Bob Thomas to write The Art of Animation, the first book that would give full credit to the animators and explore the animation process. Now, the newly revised Disney's Art of Animation covers the history of animation at the Disney Studio from the birth of Mickey Mouse to Disney's latest animated film, Hercules. This newly updated edition includes Aladdin, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Toy Story, James and the Giant Peach, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame and features a special "making-of" section on Hercules. Disney's Art of Animation celebrates the magic of animation through Disney's numerous animated feature films. Thomas explains basic animation techniques and provides examples of story sketches, layouts, animation drawings, and back-ground paintings — all the elements that go into the making of an animated film. With the full cooperation of the Studio and total access to its archives, Thomas conducted dozens of interviews with the animators themselves, and the result is a remarkable tour behind the scenes of the magic we see on the screen.
