We live in something of a renaissance for Disney history publishing, and I was beyond ecstatic to see a new title pop up on Twitter this morning. From the masterful art publisher Taschen comes The Walt Disney Film Archives: The Animated Movies 1921-1968, a sprawling (624 pages!!) collection of artwork and historical text from deep within the Disney Archives. I’ve been dying for Taschen to do a Disney collection for years, so it’s amazing to see it finally happen.
On his site, Didier Ghez reveals more about the content of the book and the august collection of historians who have contributed. It’s quite the lineup, to be sure, and guarantees that there will be things found here that have never been seen before. One can only hope that Taschen will continue the project with a volume about the Walt Disney Theme Park Archives.
The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.
The amazon links don’t work. fyi.
Thanks for the heads up! Fixed.
