Well it sounds like an interesting book kind of one of those biopics they do and on a pivotal point in time in the Disney and Cinema story for us filmlovers With children reading some of the behind the scenes "realistic" true life story they might get hooked on the magic of creating animation from a diferent angle than a video talking heads supplement .

Kind of a starters book for completeness in a Disney library collection next to those Art of Disney and indepth biographies maybe?



thanks for bringing it into our attention Luke

I was surprised when I saw this on the front page!
a book?! Very neat, very neat.

But you know what it reminded me of when I saw the cover?
The Magic School Bus and its adventures.

Mkay, so who's gonna start with the Disney library book collection!
Should fit along well with a Disney DVD collection (*cough*MickeyMousePal*cough*)!

Awesome review, Luke! UD + book review = ! It's good to see that you're as apt at reviewing literature as you are at film, television, and technology!

This book looks like a whole lot of fun... just the sort of thing I would have read and loved when I was younger (and will probably read and enjoy at my current age too ).

The book looks a bit kiddish. I'm waiting for the reviews on the real biographies!
