5 Mansions in one book - Inside & Out !!

With 4 Haunted Mansions in existance as rides, and another existing on the silver screen, it's hard to find a book that encompasses all of these, let alone one that goes into such great detail as "The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies"I have been a Mansion Fan ever since the opening of the Disneyland one was broadcast on TV. I have been through the two USA Mansions, but living in Australia, have as yet to see the movie.Jason Surrell has masterfully woven facts, behind-the-scenes tales and even a little fan folklore to come up with this, the definitive Disney Attraction Book.Previous reviews have mentioned many of the delights contained within, however it's wonderful to see so much of the "Blue Sky" phase and the richly detailed imagineering models, maquettes and artwork from the rides and the movie alike. Yes, it's like being able to X-ray the goose that laid the golden eggs, but you don't have to kill the goose to do it - you come away from this book wanting to go on the rides or see the movie again just to check out more of the minutae.At 132 pages long, you get plenty of "bang for buck" with this book, and even when you have finished it from cover to cover, it is the sort of book you can happily take up time and time again, to re-read, and to show others.Mansion Fans - Don't miss this one.Disney Fans - A valuable addition to any Disney book collection.Anyone Else - Read this, and you will be longing to visit a Haunted Mansion near you, I guarantee !!....Hurry back..... Hurry back....

Welcome foolish mortals...

Don't let the age range fool you - I hesitated buying this book because I thought it was simply a children's book to introduce the movie. It has tons of information about the movie - but it is also a MUST HAVE for any Haunted Mansion fan! The drawings and photographs of all of the Haunted Mansions around the world are just fantastic. Plus...have you ever wondered what the ghost hanging in the portrait gallery looks like up close? Well, wonder no more. Jason Surrell does a fantastic job of telling the story of the Haunted Mansion from the original idea all the way up to the soon-to-be released movie. Since Mr. Surrell is a Disney Imagineer himself, he was able to include wonderful photos and artwork from the original Imagineers who worked on the project. I find it hard to believe that anyone would be disappointed with this book...if you're looking for information about the movie, you'll find behind the scenes photos, artwork, and more. If you are interested in art/design, you'll enjoy the drawings, paintings, photographs, and models from the creative minds at Disney! And if you are a Haunted Mansion fan - you will be in absolute heaven!

A MUST-HAVE TREASURE!!

This is an unbelievable book! It will tell you everything you've ever wanted to know about the evolution of the "mansion," including various story ideas, loads of concept art, and little details about all of the reincarnations all over the world. Even if you're a casual fan of the mansions, you'll probably really like this book!! ...

A Hauntingly Great Book!!!

Just in time for Halloween and the movie, this book is amust have for any Disney or Haunted Mansion fan(atic). I myself have collected HM memorabilia, and the stories, pictures, and illustrations within this book are amazing. My only wish is that the book be released with a hardcover, but don't get me wrong, the present book is well put together and will hold up.Again, all you HM spooks and spirits, this is a MUST HAVE!!
