Art of Walt Disney: From Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdoms

Synopsis

The Art of Walt Disney is an enduring classic -- a book that has sold nearly 600,000 copies in two lavish hardcover editions. Now, for the first time, Abrams is proud to announce an affordable condensed paperback version of this remarkable book. Drawing on unfettered access to Disney artists and archives, Christopher Finch chronicles every facet of Disney art -- animation, live-action, and theme parks -- from Mickey's 1928 debut in Steamboat Willie to the forth-coming Fantasia 2000. All the major milestones receive full coverage, including recent projects -- Toy Story, the Broadway Lion King, Mulan, and Disney's Animal Kingdom, among others -- that don't appear in the 1995 hardcover edition. Wonderfully inexpensive, this will be the perfect gift for Disney fans everywhere.
