Summary: One of our TOP TEN Books on the Walt Disney Studios
Comment: Words simply don't do justice to this book. It must be held in one's own hands to fully appreciate the investment that went into producing this masterpiece celebration of animation history.
John Canemaker has succeeded once again in bringing the creative process to a place where both a novice hobbyist and experienced researcher can find full appreciation in a single work.
Paper Dreams is filled to overflowing with original story sketches from the Disney Archives and Animation Research Library. The story sketch is the most primitive form in the process of animation, and yet is crucial to the development of both story and character personality. This process was invented at the Disney Studios in the early 1930's, and is widely used throughout Hollywood to this day, both in animation and in live-action production.
In particular, researchers of original animation art will appreciate this work as creating a permanent record of known storyboards and sketches from the Walt Disney Studio.
While most will never have an opportunity to visit the Disney Archives, Canemaker effectively opens the vaults for all to enjoy and appreciate.

Summary: A wonderful insight into the creative process
Comment: Too often in animation titles, the storyboard element is relegated to a minor footnote. This book presents a wonderful insight to the creative process of animation film making. Many animators and students collect resource material from feature films, and storyboard examples are rare and treasured items. As a storyboarder myself, I was in awe of the beauty and clarity of these works, many I was seeing for the first time. However, anybody with an interest in art or animation will enjoy this book. It is an amazing and definitive collection.

Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: I have most of the 'Art of' books and, though this is a little more pricey than the others, it is worth every cent. It is refreshingly reassuring to finally have a Disney art book NOT written by a Disney staffer, but by a film academic. It was great to read about the men who worked alongside Walt and knew him for all his faults as well rather than the godhead he has become to the company. This book, while showing page after page of behind-the-scenes miniature masterpieces that went into making the classic early features, also describes the not-so-happy endings that such chemistry produced among Disney and his storymen sometimes. It also covers the latter-day storyboard masters like Chris Sanders and the Brizzi twins. I have ambitions of being a Disney storyboard artist someday and this book is perfect inspiration. More than worth it.
