The Disney cartoon: an animated history from 1919 to today

"Combining historical research with playful tidbits, The Disney Cartoon explores one iconic studio's animation across time. Darl Larsen highlights the films that served as stepping stones to mark Disney's artistic, technological, cultural, and economic progress in theatrical cartoons across more than a century of filmmaking. He examines the Disney journey from bankruptcy in Kansas City to Snow White and the golden age of animation-from hard learned lessons through hard won plaudits; from the nadir of the 1970s to the heights of The Little Mermaid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and The Lion King; and from the blockbuster Frozen through the expensive misfires Lightyear and Strange World"-- Provided by publisher.
