First edition of this definitive work on the animation of Walt Disney. Quarto, original half cloth, pictorial endpapers. Boldly signed by Walt Disney opposite the title page and signed by 22 Disney staff, each on a page near the appropriate portrait. Among these are signatures by the "Nine Old Men": Eric Larson, Ward Kimball, Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, Les Clark, Marc Davis, Wolfgang Reitherman, John Lounsbery, and Ollie Johnston. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. A unique example.
Bob Thomas roamed the Disney Studio, listening and conducting interviewing with the men who made the historic advances and innovations in animation. Watching the intricate processes by which a cartoon moves from the storyboard to the screen, the result is a remarkable tour behind the scenes of the magic we see on the screen.
