I nice grouping of all the films produced while Disney was still alive, as well as a decent look at much that came after. It has a few problems, mostly a sense of being somewhat unfocused. I believe the last few chapters are unnecessary, as they take away from the idea that this is about Disney films. I expect that the author was trying to be thorough, but the looks at television and such are not in-depth and so some somewhat superfluous. Still, there's some great information here and some interesting opinions.
A must have for those who have any interest in Disney films. Unfortunately, this book is long overdue for an update. The most recent edition was published in 2000.
