2008-02-18
GET THIS BOOK! There is no questions ask that Frank and Ollie did an amazing job putting this together! It gives you a complete history and explanation of how today's feature animation began, with beautifully printed examples and explains the principles of animation! Great for young and old alike! This book should be the first one in your animation collection.

A kid again! 2007-10-20
This book brings back the nostalgia of yesteryear and reminds you of what REAL animation is supposed to look like. Now don't get me wrong there is a lot to be said about cgi, but there's just something missing from the "new" stuff. In my opinion cgi leaves a lot to be desired. There was something so warm and wonderful about the animation the 9 old men created... they did such amazing work and this book helps honor them. Not to mention, it is a great way to see how the real masters did it.
A must-have item! 2007-09-15
For those people who wants to work with graphics, It's very important to have contact with newest technologies and media. But to have real growth, the basis is here. Beautiful book! Compared to price, is the best benefit in whole amazon site!
Great Book For Animators! 2008-07-14
Anyone who loves Disney animation and anyone who is learning the process of animation needs to get their hands on this book. It is long, it is detailed, but it is well worth it. This book mainly covers the essential Principles of Animation such as Squash and Stretch, Anticipation, Follow Through, etc. Go get it!

All I was looking for about the art of animation 2008-05-12
Wow!..First of all, the presentation of the book is amazing. The cover, the paper, everything. And wen you open the book, is simply what you need for start to see animation as an art...no, in my case, an "excuse" for use a software (I sarting to go to 3d animation). Buy this book!
The love produces animation! That book exhibition that! 2008-05-11
The love produces animation! That book exhibition that! That amazes of book! That fantastic thing is the friendship and the production of those two geniuses of the animation! The life and the those two men's art is a thing that contemplates in all us, impassioned by animation. They are my life examples, and one day I would like cannot at least to arrive close to what did. That book, and the dvd about the life of the two, is obligatory things in any school, or shelf peculiar of any person that has feelings and sensibility to understand the beautiful things of the life. Wonderful? Spectacular? Grandiose? I don't have as defining that book. He is more than any definition that somebody can create. It is the love transformed in cartoons overflowing for the pages of that wonderful book. I will buy more a, to be in the shelf without nobody opens it, and my descendants only can you make it for they know a time and such some brilliant people and magics as these highlighted in that spectacular book.
A Classic - Required Reading 2008-04-11
Any artist - animator or otherwise, should read this book. It's not only about the craft of animation, but about the passion of pursuit in illustrating life accurately and in an engaging way.
Told from the perspective of two legends.
