Does anyone know if the making of the Disney afternoon television renaissance book actually came out or still about to come out?

It hasn't come out yet. The Disney Wiki says it's coming out this fall...

So, this book has officially come out in the U.S., Walt Disney's Cinderella: 75th Anniversary Edition:





This is just a taste of the lush, beautiful paintings, paired with beautiful, sweet writing. It's not so much a book for kids or people who have never seen the film. It tells the story like you already know it, but points out new perspectives. The last page shows an idyllic stretch of landscape of the blissful life Cinderella and her Prince will have.

Yet, it is not my most favorite Cinderella book. That would be the 2012 re-do of the Big Golden Book. That one tells the story most completely and with the best pictures. All it's really missing is a picture of the pumpkin and the mice getting the key. Then comes the Story of book, the Classic Storybook, and Cendrillon - Une princesse courageuse, or Cinderella, A Brave Princess. I made a bigger post about all of these here, unless the mods decide it should be in this thread. But I will say here, the new 75th anniversary book at least shows a picture of the dang pumpkin! And yes, some things like the coach are off-model, with the leaves and stuff but it is purposely done so to be it's own, unique interpretation, and I like it.

According to Amazon.com, Ron Clements`book Making Disney Magic . . . from a Mermaid to Moana: Tales of a Disney Animation Director is going to be released July 28th next year.

It was supposed to be released this month. Hopefully it won't get postponed again.

Sorry, but there was no new information about the release date of that book.

There's a new storybook collection coming out in Spain called Unforgettable Novels that features interesting covers. There are 53 books in total. Here's some of the covers.

Yay, glad to see Wish still continue to be included, maybe it wasn’t so much of a failure after all, and maybe it is actually a hidden gem that is quite underrated (which it is

Those are some stunning covers, for sure. I was surprised to see some titles that were included (The Good Dinosaur, Bolt, etc.) while others (Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, etc.) were not.

I love all those creative covers, even though Cinderella's has an idea already used originally by the first Broadway production of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella. I think the best one was Beauty and the Beast's. Did they do Pinocchio?

The Jungle Book was included, actually. Its cover was simply not up on the site. Peter Pan's omission is indeed odd though.

This collection has also been released in Romania. I plan on buying some of them. The designs are really beautiful.

Thank you for those, Sotiris! I find it odd to see Pinoke in Jiminy's head and not Monstro's body.

I'm from Spain and this collection came out like on year ago or more. The books are all right, they are like novelizations from the movies with concept arts, backgrounds etc. I have Snow White, The lion king, Frozen, Pocahontas, Inside out and Beauty and the Beat. They are all right but they release a book per week so it's very expensive to complete the collection. They remind me to the Disney Animated classics collection but these ones are a little bit longer and some of them have less artworks inside.

TP&TF, Aladdin, and SB are the prettiest of the covers for me.

Well, those covers were classy and pretty. But again, it`s surprising to see Wish among them. Even more surprising was Pocahontas and Hunchback.

Pocahontas and Hunchback are popular classics here and they have been included in all the book collections released here including the audio books and one collection released recently for toddlers. I can't find any good reason to exclude them. In the audio books collection they even included sequels like TLM2 and BATB2.
I saw the wish one the other day but honestly is not very appealing to me. Wish is a very recent movie and it's very easy to find the artworks that the book includes in "the art of Wish" or in the internet. These kind of collections have more sense with old movies because it's more hard to find information and artworks about them.
