books about: animators     books:       An Animated Life: Adventures in Fantasy16 reviews Ray Harryhausen, Tony Dalton Aurum Press Ltd, 2003 Long overdue, but worth the wait. Die-hard fans of special effects master Ray Harryhausen may recall Jeff Rovin's book "From the Land Beyond Beyond", which arrived in 1977. It was a welcome addition to the Harryhausen legacy, but was too subjective and fan-based for some tastes. Hard to believe it took almost thirty years for this definitive, color version of the Harryhausen story to arrive on the scene. Some will feel it is ...             The Disney Treasures14 reviews Robert Tieman Disney Editions, 2003 Disney Treasures and Keepsakes are a Must Have These books are like a pop up book on steroids...They are FULL of interesting little pieces that you can take out and look at, like letters from Walt to Lillian, ride tickets from the early days and all sorts of other things...These 2 books are worth every penny!!!             The Animator's Survival Kit124 reviews Richard Williams Faber & Faber, 2002 Expanded edition!, magnificent..

The iconoclastic sense of humor!!!!!!! OH_MY_GOD. This author posts on a site called Internet Infidels, and believe me she STILL pulls no punches. She still posts under her real name. I wouldn't if I were her. I'm sure the outraged religious fundamentalists will come here next and try to pan her book.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for Phil Vischer after reading his story. My wife and I learned about the Veggie Tales in the late 90's after receiving a recommendation from some of our friends. We've been fans ever since and have 3 kids who have all grown up with Bob, Larry, and the Veggie crew. It's hard to believe so much ...             Remembering Walt17 reviews Howard E. Green, Amy Boothe Disney Editions, 2002 The finest tribute to a great man I was very happy while reading this book. I found all the things Walt's aquaintances had to say about him very interesting and credible. Very little seemed sugar coated (as Disney personel seem to be sometimes). I would make the assumption that Walt's personality was portrayed correctly by the many people that knew him. Throughout the course of reading this book I kept thinking about the ...             Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist13 reviews Chuck Jones Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1999 Fantastic...A MUST for ALL Looney Tunes and Chuck Fans!

Fast forward and Walt (no one who worked for him called him Mr. Disney) got hooked on live steam model trains and had one on his property on Carolwood Ave large enough to ride - which is now in the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. This is the story behind the train fanatic ...             Drawing the Line: The Untold Story of the Animation Unions from Bosko to Bart Simpson9 reviews The University Press of Kentucky, 2006 Fills a Historic Gap As a Disney enthusiast, I have found one of the most delicate and hard-to-research periods in Disney history was the 1941 studio strike. Tom Sito fills this gap by providing a comprehensive narration. But more important to others, he provides a complete history of labor developments in the animation profession. I had no idea there had been so much turmoil! His account is very up-to-date, too, ...             Acting for Animators, Revised Edition: A Complete Guide to Performance Animation10 reviews Ed Hooks Heinemann Drama, 2003 A must have Ed Hooks' books are a must have for anyone serious about Animation and/or any character based type of storytelling.
