In that era, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Snow White, Mulan, The Lion King, etc. can accompany us through childhood, and the characters of these animations are also deeply imprinted in our minds.
Although Disney animation accompanied my childhood, Disney has celebrated its 100th anniversary, and you can see that Disney has held a lot of celebrations around the world this year, and one of the books that I think is very collectible is this book of painting manuscripts of the Nine Elder Brothers, "Nine Elder Brothers: Disney Centennial Original Picture Book".
The 168-page Disney Centennial Picture Book is written by Don Hahn (producer of The Lion King), who handed coffee to the Nine and was carefully taught by the Nine to enter the field of animation.
The nine elders in the title of the book refer to nine animators, such as "Pinocchio" and "Bambi" by Eric Larson;"Cinderella" and "Prince of the Forest" by Frank Thomas;John Lonsbury's "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Adventures of Moore", etc., they were the core animators of Walt Disney, they helped Walt bring his superb narrative to life, and they also defined the standard of Disney animation, and created a great contribution to Disney's ancestors, which have a lasting impact on today's animation industry. Every master must have an interesting soul.
The book not only restores the retrospective of the nine elders in the Walt Disney Family Museum, but also displays a large number of rare original drawings by nine animation artists, and gives each artist a unique interpretation, allowing us to understand the exquisite drawing skills, animation performance and story design skills of these outstanding animators through their character sketches, sketches of animation clips, watercolor oil painting essays and other works. It's a great opportunity to get up close and personal with the masters and get to know the interesting artists and their endless ideas that have changed the course of the art of animation.
And a large number of well-known animation images in the book are slowly presented in front of us, so that we not only go to the best animation products, but also understand the process, which makes people sigh that the amount of engineering in an animation is huge.
The first release of the Nine Elders materials, the first release of most of the rare original sketches, and the reproduction of the production process of classic animation, such a book "Nine Elements: Disney Centennial Original Picture Book" is definitely worth collecting.
