Before Mickey : The Animated Film 1898-1928
by Donald Crafton This witty and fascinating study reminds us that there was animation before Disney: about thirty years of creativity and
experimentation flourishing in such extraordinary work as Girdie the Dinosaur and Felix the Cat. Before Mickey, the first and only in-depth history of animation from 1898-1928, includes
accounts of mechanical ingenuity, marketing and art. Crafton is equally adept at explaining techniques of sketching and camera work, evoking characteristic styles of such pioneering animators as Winsor McCay
and Ladislas Starevitch. Click Here for price and More Info |
