Excellent history

One of the important things missing from many other cartoon histories are the animated cartoon MOVIES. This book includes lots! Great info and quotes from the people who made them. So far, it's the most complete history of American cartoons that I have ever read. I am an Art teacher who created a "History of Animation" unit for my students. It's a valuable resource for such things, and a truly nostalgic look back at great childhood memories in front of the TV (and at the movie theater). Also, beautiful color pictures of actual animation cells from cover to cover!

Animation Lovers!!!
