is it just me or do you guys agree that although there are many great animation books out there, there are still some subjects that are seldom or not even once discussed, most author's just copy each other for information.

Among these non-discussed items I for one would like to see a
disney edition of the following:
( I even have a title for themv :D )

Anything but ordinary:
The Art of The Emperor's New Groove

although not a huge box-office hit, this movie like all other's
should get a decen't art of book.
It was very challenging in terms of animation and overall look

The Little Mermaid
From the shore to the Sea

Never too late too create a book devoted to such a great movie!

Animator's from A to Z

granted this seems a bit much, but it could come in volumes,
updated with each coming year
(I see profits already! :D )

The Jim Henson Legacy

Now that disney owns much of the rights, why not explore some of these great characters, maybe in cooperation with the muppetnetwork!

Frank Wells:
The untold Story

I'll leave the thinking up to you!

From rag to riches:
The art of Oliver & Company

Need I say more!

Oswald, Mickey and beyond

The beginning right up untill the final creation of such memorable other disney characters


The Disney Relatives

There must be more to Walt!

Think I'm about done now!

If anything pops to mind, post it right here!

Happy huntin!

My wish list of Books about Disney animation

Hi everybody,

this is my wishlist of books:

The art of the Emperor’s new groove

There exist stunning art from the unofficial predecessor “The kingdom of sun” in the Disney archives. Look on the development art of Andreas Deja and Glen Keane and other famous artist of a new generation. Unfortunately there was arising certain trouble with the story. Read how the artists get in struggle with the management of the Disney Company and how Disney had replaced many of them for a new team the capricious emperor want.

This book doesn’t fit into the happy world of Disney behind the curtain. Sorry: We will never get a chance to get this book!

The art of Disney icons in World War 2

The Disney department had done great icons on bomber, tanks, ships and other weapons. The icons are really great propaganda material.

There was a “bombing” Donald Duck? Yes! He had this done as an icon. Oh, No: Book is being deleted!

Disney film productions in World War 2

Do you know that Disney had done a lot of education films for the military? Read about this fascinating area of time where the master of storytelling teaches us how to fight against the enemy.

Forget this book! The Disney Company has to be all time a clean and nice family entertainment company!

The art of the little mermaid

There exists only a very small version. We want a big one like it was for the Lion King, Pocahontas, The hunchback of Notre Dame, and Hercules.

Oh no, this makes Ariel too much successful! OK, Disney made this book possible for us after a shrinking magical procedure...

I don't know what they would be called, but I'd love books about the productions of "The Black Cauldron" and "The Emperor's New Groove" (unless they would just release "The Sweatbox". :roll:). Both of those movies had production problems, and it'd be great to have books about them. :) :)
