The other interesting book about Disney is the Illusion of Life: Disney Animation, by Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and Walt Disney Company. This book is an elaborative explanation of Disney animation by animators. The book takes the reader through the gradual process by which the comparatively young American animation art developed. The identified weakness of the book is that despite its broad coverage of the development of animation in the USA, it does not give readers even a single lesson on how to actually do an animation. However, the authors have defended this criticism, stating that the book was not intended to be a tutorial. Nevertheless, the book is a wonderful read, full of information about the principles of animation and the workings of Disney’s animators. The book is not just for Disney animators but also for anyone interested in animation, composed of artistic drawings of the founders of drawn animation at Disney.
