This box set of nine flip books pays tribute to Walt Disney's original animators--the Nine Old Men: Les Clark, Eric Larson, Frank Thomas, John Lounsbery, Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnston, Mark Davis, Wolfgang Reitherman, and Milt Kahl. Each flip book features an iconic scene from an animated Disney feature in its original line-drawn form, having been selected from among a wide range of films for great movement and classic characters. The films include Alice In Wonderland, Dumbo, Fantasia, Peter Pan, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, and Pinocchio. Such iconic clips from the reel of Disney animation history include: Lady and the Tramp's moonlit spaghetti dinner; Sorcerer Mickey's ordeal with a horde of mops; and Thumper's announcement that a prince has been born! In addition to the flip books, the box will contain a booklet providing additional information about the artists.

The flip book idea is great. And, to be fair, the art selected for the Kimball book hasn't been previously published --- unfortunately the same can't be said for the drawings used in the rest of the books. Why is it that Pierre Lambert and Christian Renaut find ways of filling their books with absolutely breathtaking, never before seen Disney art while homegrown authors keep using the same old drawings over and over again? If we want Thomas' scene we can go to any of four other previously published animation books. Same goes for Kahl, Lounsbery, Davis, Reitherman or
Clark (anybody seen the catalog for the Chiba exhibit? Or Canemaker's Nine Old Men?). How hard would it be to locate something new and fresh?
And, by the way, the reproduction quality of the Johnston drawings is inexcusable. Doesn't anyone at D23 care?

The packaging on this set is very nice, with fancy binding and classy printing. But as flipbooks, it leaves a bit to be desired. First of all, the binding of the flipbooks makes it very hard to get the pages to flip down flat and the gloss on the paper makes it hard to see the tiny little lines. A few of the scenes are great, but a lot of them are very subtle actions which are great animation, but don't lend themselves to a flipbook. These are also cleanups, so the lines are very thin and tight. I would have preferred drawings that showed the hand of the animator more, not just the assistants. The most baffling thing about this set though is why they only printed on one side of each page. They could have easily put two scenes in each book. It's worth the price because it's very fancy, but I wish they had made it a little less fancy and made better books for flipping.

I got this set for my boyfriend this year for Valentine's Day, and he LOVES it. He's pursuing a career in character animation, and I believe that any aspiring animator should be fully aware of the work of the Nine Old Men featured in this set. The books are great quality, and the set is a fantastic gift for those who love animation.
