First published in 1973, The Art of Walt Disney is one of the most
successful and influential illustrated art books on American popular
culture ever published. This book was the first to reveal the wealth of
concept art, animation drawings, and archival material created in the
course of animating films. In this newly revised edition, author
Christopher Finch has thoroughly reworked every chapter to incorporate
the vast achievements of The Walt Disney Company in filmmaking, theater,
and theme parks, from Walt's day to the present, including all-new
exciting chapters on Pixar Animation Studio and Walt Disney Animation
along with extensive interviews with their chief creative officer, John
Lasseter, and president, Ed Catmull. Offering hundreds of new images and
unparalleled access to leading filmmakers and artists at The Walt Disney
Company, The Art of Walt Disney will once again capture the
imaginations of animation fans young and old.
