Serious
Business : The Art and Commerce of Animation in America from Betty
Boop to Toy Story
by Stefan Kanfer, Chuck Jones
The business behind creating and producing comics, cartoons, or,
specifically, animation is nothing short of fascinating. More than
a "behind the scenes" book or a "tell all" expose,

an emphasis on the creative people in the industry. To quote the
dust cover: "The history of animation is the story of its geniuses.
Serious Business disperses the clouds created by decades
of received wisdom, and bogus myth-making.
