Peter Pan (Fully Restored 45th Anniversary Limited Edition) (Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection)
Peter Pan has a special place in the realm of classic animated Disney films: it instills an element of childlike wonder. The 1953 version of James M. Barrie's story is colorfully told and keeps on the straight and narrow of the book. Barrie's wondrous focus on child's play is the key to its longevity: kids who don't grow up, shadows that run away from their owners, pirates, a fairy, and the magic ability to fly. In short, you can't help wishing the adventure would happen to you. Fueled by a few memorable songs (the stunner being "You Can Fly") and the strong impression of the pixie fairy Tinkerbell and the goofy Captain Hook, Disney's version of this story neither supplants nor lessens the Broadway version with Mary Martin that was produced for television the same decade. Unlike some classics, Peter Pan never ages along the way. --Doug Thomas
Customer Review: Great viewing. Loved by all.
Our grandson loves this DVD and wants more. He said he loves old movies, and this is a really good one.
Customer Review: Peter Pan
What can one say about a Disney movie? I have yet to be disappointed. This is a perfect telling of the story about the boy who didn't want to grow up and the adventures he had in Neverland with Wendy, Michael, and John. I would recommend it as great family entertainment.


Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film (Disney Miniature)
Daly, an animation writer for Entertainment Weekly, and Lasseter, the director of Toy Story, have written a richly illustrated review of the technology, creativity, and artistry that went into this first-ever completely computer generated movie. A must-have book for any animation buff or multimedia developer.
Customer Review: art of toy story dissapointing
The seller of the book was great in getting the book to us quickly. I was just disappointed because I did not realize it was a miniature book. Then I was unable to return it. It was suppose to be a gift. I've bought many of the other Pixar, art of... books. They were all cheaper and the big, full size version of them.
Customer Review: A Perfect Guide to How the Pro's Do It
After seeing the film, the book was a natural progression. As a teacher of computer animation, Toy Story has enabled my students and I to study a piece of work which has very few flaws, other than the one's talked about by the animators and directors themselves. For a student of the art of animation, the book gives a superb insight into how an idea is developed from conception right through to production. Explanations are concise and clear and illustrations are comprehensive and in most cases beautiful. If you are embarking on a career in computer animation, buy this book!
