Imagine if one sketchbook had been passed down through the decades from one Disney animator to the next, with each one making a contribution before leaving it in the talented hands of another artist. That idea was the inspiration for A Disney Sketchbook. The drawings contained within it represent the entire range of animation development, from the origin of ideas to fully conceived characters, and display the dedication that goes into defining the expressions and body language of each character. This is a beautiful illustrated history of Walt Disney animation.
