The new book Story - featuring art from the Disney Archives - arrived last week, but we got so busy, we forgot to post about it. If you're interested in the art of story-boarding by some of Disney's finest, this is the book for you.
Now the cover features Mickey Mouse and while that works well for the general public, most professionals and animation students seem to have an aversion to that character on book covers. Inside, the book is not all MM. Its got tons of great stuff -well worth examining.
from the publisher:
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.
