Editorial Reviews

Product Description

With an introduction by John Lasseter-and very little else in the way of words-this first book in The Artist Series lavishly showcases the most brilliant story artwork created by such luminaries as Bill Peet, Don DaGradi, Joe Rinaldi, Roy Williams, Ub Iwerks, Burny Mattison, and Vance Gerry for such films as Steamboat Willie and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Alice in Wonderland and 101 Dalmatians. The art will be displayed in its full glory with all the notes, flaws, and hole punches that were so much a part of the story development process. Featuring the best examples-many never published before-as well as some pieces by unidentified artists-Story will be the must-have art book for collectors, artists, and Disney fans.

2.0 out of 5 stars Total bummer :(, January 10, 2009
I guess I was hoping for a whole analysis of Disney story and narrative. Instead I got a book that had a bunch of storyboards with absolutely no text or commentary (minus the blurb at the beginning by John Lasseter). A lot of the pages there's just one or two boards per page. The boards are quite nice pieces of artwork, and I especially like the older ones, but one per page? C'mon. I spent like 30 bucks on this book.

The boards they feature are only parts of a sequence, instead of the whole sequence, so you only get a taste before you turn the page and are jolted into a new piece. Also, the boards skip some of the inbetween boards, so there's a board, a board, and then, woa, why is the camera suddenly at that angle?

The book probably should have been titled "Disney Storyboard Samples", because that's all it is. Artsy, but not real practical. Go for "Paper Dreams" by Canemaker for a heavy-duty book on storyboarding. This one I think works better as supplemental. But it does make my coffee table look smart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elemental Disney, December 26, 2008
By Heather A. Heddlesten (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Great high quality book with large pages that allow the reader to experience the level of detail and care that the artists took with these story boards. Could have used a little extra text in the book in order to describe who drew the particular boards and some back story. Will be purchasing further books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stunning!!!, January 21, 2009
This book is an absolute delight. Stunning artwork, high quality presentation and design, great production values. If you like Disney animation you'll love it. What a great beginning to what I think it will be a great line of books, this Disney Archives series. Count me on for future volumes for sure.

This book makes a nice coffee table book. But if you intend to use it for research, it will be of little use. It's a big beautiful book full of pictures, with no text. Read more
