The Alchemy of Animation: Making an Animated Film in the Modern Age
is a step-by-step introduction to animated filmmaking from one of
the foremost producers of animated features. By drawing (sorry!)
upon more than seven decades of Disneys classic and beloved
animated films, this stunning book explores the role of the
directors, story artists, songwriters, and animators who each play
an integral role in the creation of an animated feature. This book
includes a special focus on the digital techniques of filmmaking
and fresh, behind-the-scenes work from the most current Disney
films, including Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, and Bolt, as
well as showing other forms of animation such as the stop-motion of
Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas' and James and the Giant
Peac'h.
