Disney's Pooh's Tree House/Pop-Up Treehouse Book and Tigger, Pooh, and Eeyore Toys Walt Disney Animation Studios The Archive Series: Story (Walt Disney Animation Archives) 
With an introduction by John Lasseter-and very little else in the way of words-this first book in
The Artist Series lavishly showcases the most brilliant story artwork created by such luminaries as Bill Peet, Don DaGradi, Joe Rinaldi, Roy Williams, Ub Iwerks, Burny Mattison, and Vance Gerry for such films as
Steamboat Willie and
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to
Alice in Wonderland and
101 Dalmatians. The art will be displayed in its full glory with all the notes, flaws, and hole punches that were so much a part of the story development process. Featuring the best examples-many never published before-as well as some pieces by unidentified artists-
Story will be the must-have art book for collectors, artists, and Disney fans. Â

Customer Review: Total bummer :(
I guess I was hoping for a whole analysis of Disney story and narrative. Instead I got a book that had a bunch of storyboards with absolutely no text or commentary (minus the blurb at the beginning by John Lasseter). A lot of the pages there's just one or two boards per page. The boards are quite nice pieces of artwork, and I especially like the older ones, but one per page? C'mon. I spent like 30 bucks on this book. The boards they feature are only parts of a sequence, instead of the whole sequence, so you only get a taste before you turn the page and are jolted into a new piece. Also, the boards skip some of the inbetween boards, so there's a board, a board, and then, woa, why is the camera suddenly at that angle? The book probably should have been titled "Disney Storyboard Samples", because that's all it is. Artsy, but not real practical. Go for "Paper Dreams" by Canemaker for a heavy-duty book on storyboarding. This one I think works better as supplemental. But it does make my coffee table look smart.
Customer Review: Elemental Disney
Great high quality book with large pages that allow the reader to experience the level of detail and care that the artists took with these story boards. Could have used a little extra text in the book in order to describe who drew the particular boards and some back story. Will be purchasing further books in the series.
