In the words of Walt Disney; "Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive." Part biography; part history; part artistic commentary; this volume looks at several major figures in the field of animation and discusses how their contributions to the art of animation have affected the course of the industry--and in many cases; had a direct effect on popular culture as a whole. These gifted artists are divided into several classifications: Idealists (Art Babbitt; John Hubley); Mavericks (John Kricfalusi; Terry Gilliam); Technicians (the Fleischer Brothers); Influences (Frank Tashlin; Matt Groening; Ray Harryhausen; Ed Benedict); Trailblazers (Lotte Rieniger; Lillian Friedman); Teller of Tales (Henry Selick); Teachers (George Newall; Tom Yohe; the FMPU); and Storytellers (Joe Grant; Bill Scott; Michael Maltese). Each animator is represented by a list of his or her key films and awards.

GendronThe content is more economic sided than Id hoped but still a great introduction to the opportunity. I wish it had more practical engineering. I bought this book with the hope that it would aide me in the construction of vault style buildings here in in the southwest desert. I love the idea of the vault style and feel it could be a perfect fit for my projects.New Paria. Utah
