Another MUST HAVE...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Too Funny for Words: Disney's Greatest Sight Gags (Hardcover)
Though not as 'deep' as The Illusion of Life, the book Too Funny for Words is a must-have for all animators and story people who want to peek into the serious world of creating movie magic... It is THE book on the subject of 'sight-gags'. (Remember to also get Frank&Ollie's Greatest Disney Villains and The Making of Bambi books! - You already have The Illusion of Life, of course!)

By Stop Motion Maniac "Elroy Jetson" (Toonville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Too Funny for Words: Disney's Greatest Sight Gags (Hardcover)
I love this title. It does an awesome job of illustrating cartoon humor. The book contains many illustrations and is divided into two parts with the second part containing invaluable information:
1. The Spot Gag 2. The Running Gag 3. The Gag That Builds 4. The Action Gag 5. The Tableau Gag 6. The Inanimate Character Gag 7. The Funny Drawing 8. Specialized Gags If you are an animator, Disney-phile, or enthusiast you should consider picking this title up.

Frank & Ollie,
This review is from: Too Funny for Words: Disney's Greatest Sight Gags (Hardcover)
A huge hardcover book, filled with full page representations form the animators drawing board, showing you the process of creating visual sight gags in animation. Disney animators Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston created the animators bible with their first book, "The Illusion of Life". It was to be their best of several books, and Sight Gags is next in line. Frank & Ollie were heroes of the the golden age of animation, and the part they played as part of the team of Walt's top animators, "the Nine Old Men" as they were known.
Also be sure to see the documentary video, "Frank & Ollie", to see for yourself what wonderful guys these two gents really were. That documentary is on VHS and DVD.
