Animation Magic Book: Behind the Scenes Look at How an Animated Film Is Made

Don Hahn. Random House Disney, $16.95 (96pp) ISBN 978-0-7868-3072-5

In Disney's Animation Magic: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at How a Disney Film Is Made, producer Don Hahn distills the difficult and detailed process of animated feature film creation into an easily understood narrative. From the birth of an idea, to voice-overs, special effects and computer-generated imagery, each phase is generously illustrated with sketches, movie stills, scenes of artists at work, flow charts and even a photo of the opening of Pocahontas in New York's Central Park. )
