Great behind the scenes at the Disney Studios,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Walt & Assorted Other Characte (Hardcover)
This was a great book. Besides the wonderful illustrations the stories shared by this great animator are a wonderful look at the behind the scenes goings on at the Walt Disney Studios during the golden age of animation. Kinney started in 1931 and worked on Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck shorts and features including, Snow White, Pinocchio, and Bambi. He tells wonderful stories those he worked with and is not afraid tell it like he feels. This was a fun read and I recommend it to any person interested in Disney animation.

A classic animator looks back on his career at Disney,
By
This review is from: Walt & Assorted Other Characte (Hardcover)
Jack Kinney, like many great Disney animators, did the real work while old Walt got his name on the screen. He could have used this book as a tell-all slam against Disney, but decided to instead to draw a loving picture of his work for the Mouse. And "draw" in the right word--Kinney realized that he was no writer, so the book is packed full of his rough, humorous sketches of his fellow animators from the 30's to the 50's.The latter half of the book is the saddest, with Kinney on his own trying to make cartoons during the Dark Ages of animation (the 1960's). Still, his love for the art kept him going. If you want a small experience of the golden age of animation, without all the technical details, then this book is for you.
