The Master Magician

A fantastic voyage through Walt Disney’s animation works

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
—Walt Disney

One of the most creative minds of the 20th century, Walt Disney created a unique and unrivaled imaginative universe. Like scarcely any other classics of cinema, his astonishing collection of animated cartoons revolutionized storytelling on screen and enchant to this day across geographies and generations.

In TASCHEN’s first volume of one of the most expansive illustrated publications on Disney animation, some 1,500 images and essays by eminent Disney experts take us to the beating heart of the studio’s “Golden Age of Animation.” This landmark book traces Disney’s complete animation journey from the silent film era, through his first full-length feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and the pioneering artistic experiment Fantasia (1940), right up to his last masterpieces Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) and The Jungle Book (1967).

With extensive research conducted through the historical collections of the Walt Disney Company, as well as private collections, editor Daniel Kothenschulte curates some of the most precious concept paintings and storyboards to reveal just how these animation masterpieces came to life. Masterful cel setups provide highly detailed illustrations of famous film scenes while rare pictures taken by Disney photographers and excerpts from story conferences between Walt and his staff bring a privileged insider’s view to the studio’s creative process.

Each of the major animated features that were made during Walt’s lifetime—including Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians—are given their own focus chapter, without forgetting less familiar gems such as the experimental short films of the Silly Symphonies series and underappreciated episodic musical films such as Make Mine Music and Melody Time, all of which receive the same meticulous research and attention. Many unfinished projects, among them the proposed sequels to the legendary musical Fantasia or a homage to Davy Crockett by painter Thomas Hart Benton, are also highlighted with rarely seen artworks, many of them previously unpublished. Throughout, contributions from leading Disney specialists detail the evolution of each respective film.

Realizing the Disney style was a collective project and, as much as the master himself, The Walt Disney Film Archives acknowledges the outstanding animators and designers who influenced the style of the studio, among them Albert Hurter, Gustaf Tenggren, Kay Nielsen, Carl Barks, Mary Blair, Sylvia Holland, Tyrus Wong, Ken Anderson, Eyvind Earle, and Walt Peregoy.

Beautiful Book

Matteo,29 ottobre 2021
A must have for all Disney Fans.

13+ pounds of joy

Brady,28 ottobre 2021
Bought this book as a gift for my father, who loves everything Disney. He is often not a man of many words, and he did express his appreciation of this gift, but he wrote more about the sheer bulkiness of the volume, explaining that it weighed 13 pounds on his scale. I hope I have not overburdened his antiquated frame. Taschen lists this book as weighing 21.32 pounds, so I wonder if I should buy Dad a new scale.

Superbuch

Heinz H.,28 ottobre 2021

Disney Archives more than it's Weight in Gold

James,27 ottobre 2021
I've always been a fan of the books of Taschen...from the subjects they chose to the detailed work that is apparent in each edition I buy. This Disney book has in-text citation with the Source at the bottom of the page. This book is so heavy and large you could never turn to the back to read such information. They sure do think things like this out.They do this for our convenience. The books they produce are made for US. Book Lovers! This book is set out on display as I read! It is Beautiful !!
