The art of Walt Disney. From Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdoms.
Those who like to read and like Disney might be interested in reading this very detailed book about the beginning of Disney's work and movies. I read it in one day just now and found it very interesting and inspiring :)
I own the original version of 1975: http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Mickey-Mouse-...e/dp/0810990075 (http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Mickey-Mouse-Kingdoms-Concise/dp/0810990075)
But apparently there's a newer version from 1995: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Walt-Disney-Chri...h/dp/0810919621 (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Walt-Disney-Christopher-Finch/dp/0810919621). This one seems a lot bigger and has more and newer information. I might get it sometime too, but for now I'll stick to my older version.
The book tells about Walt Disney himself, how he grew up and got into the animation world. It also shows you cells of some of the movies and goes in dept about the silly symphonies and his first couple of classics. Definitely a must-have for people that are interested in his movies :)
