TOONARRIFIC!!!!

As a self confessed animation fanatic, Allan Neuwirth's MAKIN' TOONS is the kind of book that feels like it was written just for me! No where else have i found the kind of behind the scenes info on what went into the creation of my favortie animatd tv shows and movies from the industry's explosion over the past 15 years. This book gave me a real glimpse into how things work from the perspective of many of today's top animation professionals. Everyone from creators and directors to animators and voice talent...even producers! MAKIN' TOONS is comprehensive, well organized, filled with tons of great visuals and above all, an amusing and entertaining read. Could i say more about this book? Yeah, but JUST GET IT!!!!

Great Fun!

The book was light and witty; but the best part was the obvious reference to JJ Sedelmaier as the animation producer who attempted to take credit for Beavis & Butthead. It's so true, he's messed with so many people and does nothing himself! Kudos to honesty, finally!!!!!
