Walt Disney's Nine Old Men and the Art of Animation
During the 1930s, Walt Disney dubbed the most prolific animators  at his studio "The Nine Old Men." This book is the story of  each, their individual styles, the animated characters they  created, their inspirations, and their dealings with their boss  and each other. A chapter is devoted to each man, and in the end  we view their collective impact upon the Disney studio. Lavishly  produced, this oversized book is filled with rare and important  reproductions of animation cells and candid pictures of the men  and their associates, all printed on heavily coated paper to  bring out the full luster and detail. Canemaker, an  internationally recognized animator and animation historian as  well as the director of the film animation program at New York  University's Tisch School of the Arts, is the author of several  other significant books on animation. His book will be of  considerable interest to anyone concerned with the creative  forces that shaped some of the most recognizable characters and  sequences from Walt Disney Productions' most famous animated  films. Highly recommended for any library. David M. Lisa, Wayne  P.L., NJCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
