Book "Disney Archives Movies"

One of the most creative minds of the 20th century, Walt Disney has created a unique and unparalleled imaginative universe. Like almost all other classics in cinema, his amazing collection of cartoons has revolutionized on-screen storytelling and to this day enchants through geographies and generations.

In the first volume of TASCHEN from one of the most comprehensive illustrated publications on Disney animation, some 1,500 images and essays by prominent Disney experts take us to the beating heart of the studio's "golden age of animation." This historical book traces Disney's complete animation journey from the era of silent cinema, through its first feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and the pioneering artistic experience Fantasia (1940), to its last masterpieces Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) and the Jungle Book (1967).

Through extensive research through the Walt Disney Company's historical collections, as well as private collections, publisher Daniel Kothenschulte organizes some of the most valuable conceptual paintings and storyboards to reveal how these animated masterpieces were born. Masterful cell configurations provide highly detailed illustrations of famous film scenes, while rare photos taken by Disney photographers and excerpts from story conferences between Walt and his staff provide a privileged view of the studio's creative process.
