In
Hollywood Cartoons, Michael Barrier takes us on a glorious guided tour
of American animation in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, to meet the
legendary artists and entrepreneurs who created Bugs Bunny, Betty Boop,
Mickey Mouse, Wile E. Coyote, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, and many other
cartoon favorites.
Beginning
with black-and-white silent cartoons, Barrier offers an insightful
account, taking us inside early New York studios and such Hollywood
giants as Disney, Warner Bros., and MGM. Barrier excels at illuminating
the creative side of animation--revealing how stories are put together,
how animators develop a character, how technical innovations enhance the
"realism" of cartoons. Here too are colorful portraits of the giants of
the field, from Walt and Roy Disney and their animators, to Bill Hanna
and Joe Barbera.
Based on hundreds of interviews with veteran animators, Hollywood Cartoons gives us the definitive inside look at this colorful era and at the creative process behind these marvelous cartoons. (Amazon)
