Possibly the most useless book I've ever purchased,
By
This review is from: A Reader In Animation Studies (Paperback)
Never in my life have I ever seen such an utter waste of paper. There was not a single idea in the entire piece - article after article read like high school term papers written the night before, with a sharp eye on the word count.
For instance, the author went on endlessly about how the studio didn't understand the vision of "Ren and Stimpy". I needed a scholarly article to tell me this? I left the book behind at a "Wingnuts" eatery. The waitress came running back to return the book. I realized that I had shirked my duty in throwing the publication in the ashcan myself.
