From the team behind The Comic Book History of Comics comes the perfect companion piece telling the story of the triumphs and tragedies of the filmmakers and beloved animated characters of the past century and a half-essential for hardcore fans of the medium and noobies alike! It's all here, from Aardman to Zoetrope, Disney to Miyazaki, Hanna-Barbera to Pixar, and everything in-between! Begin in the early 1900s with J. Stuart Blackton and the first American cartoon, Winsor McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur, and Felix the Cat! Find out about Margaret Winkler, the most powerful person in early animation, and Walt Disney, who revolutionizes cartoons with sound and color! Discover how Fleischer Studios teaches us to sing "Boop-boop-a-doop" and eat our spinach, and how Warner Bros' Looney Toons rivaled Disney's Silly Symphonies! Plus, icons of animation including Hanna-Barbera, Huckleberry Hound, The Flintstones, and Ruby-Spears; the Plastic Age of toy-based TV shows including G.I. Joe, Transformers, and He-Man; and the new Golden Age of TV animation launched by The Simpsons! And go abroad to France with Ã?mile Cohl's dynamic doodles in Fantasmagorie; to Japan, where the Imperial Navy debuts the first full-length anime as propaganda, Divine Sea Warriors, and Osamu Tezuka conquers TV as he conquered manga; and to Argentina, which beat out Snow White for the first feature length animated movie by two decades! And finally, Jurassic Park and the computer animation revolution! Post-Little Mermaid Disney, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli conquer the world! If you've ever wanted to know more about the history of animation but were afraid to ask, this book is especially for you… (meer)
This was pretty good, but too short too. I feel like things were missing. This was done during COVID though, so that could be a factor. Thee's also little cameos to their previous work in this for easter egg fun. ( )
A fun overview of the history of mainstream animation. Walt Disney and his company suck up most of the pages of course, Hayao Miyazaki is pushed forward to represent pretty much the entirety of Japanese animation, and apparently nothing much happened anywhere else in the world. So sure, it has some shortcomings trying to reduce 120 years of animation development and progress into the same number of comic book pages, but I still enjoyed the new tidbits I learned and made a game of spotting all the animated characters used to represent real industry figures and tucked in around the edges (a lot go unnamed in the book, but I think I worked out most of them).
Anyhow, with a focus on the 1940s to 1990s, it's a nice nostalgia wallow for anyone like me who grew up watching cartoons on Saturday mornings during the '70's and '80s. Younger folks might be disappointed to see the last twenty years reduced to a cameo of Garnet and She-Ra walking arm in arm (which, yes, crossover please!). ( )

We could start this story at any number of equally valid places. But we're starting it here. Forget about pictures that move for a second. Think instead about the actual act of drawing.
