Art Of Disney Book

I haven't had much time to post lately, but here's something to make up for that. Today at Disney they are selling this book to employees:



It's the exhibition catalog from the Tokyo "Art of Disney" exhibit. It's full of page after page of amazing stuff. If I just spent the rest of my blogging life scanning in these pages that would keep me busy!

Sorry I can't buy one for all of you, but I have a feeling some of my co-workers will be putting copies up on ebay soon.

These are story sketches from "Sleeping Beauty", done by Joe Rinaldi (I think). I scanned them pretty high res so have a good look (click to see bigger). The scans are a little funky becasue the book is big and I had to squash it on the scanner to scan it.

Wow - this looks amazing. Does it have sequences of Milt Kahl (and others) animations - ie. his original drawings shown in sequence? I have some photocopies of a french book that looks to be a similar format and shape, but have never been able to find the book to buy! You lucky lucky guys! If anyone finds out where to buy please post here!!! :)

Ed- I will let you know for sure if I ever figure out how you can get one. Check out Paul Briggs' blog to see an animation sequence from the book.
