Description - Who's Who in Animated Cartoons by Jeff Lenburg

Here is the long overdue first biographical reference and first book of its kind to chronicle the amazing careers of nearly 300 of animation's most honored and recognized animator-directors and animator-producers from around the world. Publication coincides with the 100th anniversary celebration of the very first American animated cartoon ÊHumorous Phases of Funny FacesÊ released on April 16 1906. From Max Fleischer (ÊBetty Boop PopeyeÊ) to Brad Bird (ÊThe Simpsons The IncrediblesÊ) Ralph Bakshi (ÊFritz the CatÊ) to Hayao Miyazaki (ÊSpirited AwayÊ) they are all here. With more than 70 never-before published photos and illustrations including a full-color section of animation art culled from private collections and many animators' personal collections this book is an invaluable guide to the people who have shaped cinematic and television animation for decades to come.
