This sixth and final volume was a bittersweet joy to pore over, representing an era in which I was actively following the studio as an adult rather than reliving a past I didn't experience firsthand. It not only answers questions about what could've been with abandoned projects, but achieves its goal of connecting fans to the artists behind some of the most cherished animated films of the past three decades." -The Laughing Place<br><br><b>Holiday Gift Guide Pick</b><p>"Award-winning Disney historian Ghez explores the history of Disney Animation Studios from the 1990s through 2010s by profiling artists Joe Grant, Hans Bacher, Mike Gabriel, and Michael Giaimo; investigating the magic behind blockbusters including The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Frozen, and Moana; and outlining Disney's shift to computer animation." - IndieWire</p><br><br>"A stunning coffee table book for anyone with an eye for mid-century modern furniture and an interest in the history of Disney animation." -Buzzfeed<br><br>"Animation historian Didier Ghez's landmark series chronologically retracing the creative evolution and great eras of Disney Animation wraps up with this final volume, covering the 1990s through the 2010s.

Not only does it go into details on the movies we know and love, but there are anecdotes and stories to go along with the history. Not to mention the sheer amount of unpublished artwork included in the volumes is impressive on its own. The art even goes into details on projects that never actually saw the light of day." -Culturess<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Didier Ghez is the author and editor of numerous books about the Disney studio and its artists, including the books in the Walt's People series and in the They Drew as They Pleased series.
