In Hollywood Cartoons; Michael Barrier takes us on a glorious guided tour of American animation in the 1930s; 40s; and 50s; to meet the legendary artists and entrepreneurs who created Bugs Bunny; Betty Boop; Mickey Mouse; Wile E. Coyote; Donald Duck; Tom and Jerry; and many other cartoon favorites.Beginning with black-and-white silent cartoons; Barrier offers an insightful account; taking us inside early New York studios and such Hollywood giants as Disney; Warner Bros.; and MGM. Barrier excels at illuminating the creative side of animation--revealing how stories are put together; how animators develop a character; how technical innovations enhance the "realism" of cartoons. Here too are colorful portraits of the giants of the field; from Walt and Roy Disney and their animators; to Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera.Based on hundreds of interviews with veteran animators; Hollywood Cartoons gives us the definitive inside look at this colorful era and at the creative process behind these marvelous cartoons.
