Andreas Deja's The Nine Old Men is a great look at the animation careers of Walt Disney's core group of animators. I do with Deja would go more in depth into some of the issues and resolutions he only hints at, or that he would have looked deeper into the way the men worked together. The writing is fairly bland, and the critique of their work is fairly surface-level, but it's clear these animators were at the top of their game and the best in the business. The book has reproductions of original pencils and frame-by-frame roughs of iconic characters and sequences, something you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. It's a treat for a Disney fan, and a double treat for an illustrator. ( ) no reviews | add a review
