Cartoons: One Hundred Years of Cinema Animation

This is basically a textbook for school. Mostly. That's not 'bad.' Textbooks used to be a big way we moved information. It is: well organized, well-illustrated, has extensive case studies, presents complex and complicated information in an understandable fashion, presents concepts and information in a very straightforward fashion and - as I say - has case studies, practical examples and 'insights' for industry practitioners. One really GREAT thing about this volume: its a history of cartoons (animation), and it very clearly presents both US AND 'foreign' efforts - an attempt at an inclusive, comprehensive coverage. Might not be 'perfect' but is very enlightening. Its 'a lot about the whole thing' but very little on any ONE thing, and that's its great strength...

I needed to get this book for my Language of Animation and Film class. I personally prefer to keep books, rather than resell or get rid of them when I'm done. So, i prefer to have books that are in good condition. Conversely, I'm currently a student, so I can't afford to pay cover prices on some of my books. So, I'm very happy to with my purchase of this used copy of CARTOONS: ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF CINEMA ANIMATION. I don't think I could have asked for a better deal...not realistically, that is. Thanks!

I love and I am actually studying animation, and this book is excellent and very interesting, not only for us the animators, but for everyone who likes history. My mother was an professor of History, tells me how interesting is this book every time she takes a look. The book has a enormous resource about the animation, since the first toys that made animation in our eyes while moving it, until actual animation. I admire all those who made animation, because for a short or long animation, of whichever method, we need to be crazy enough to be able to make one! I recommend it to everyone, this book is not only made for studying, it is also entertaining, until the point that I want to carry it everywhere I go and take a little read each time.

The media could not be loaded.  I can’t believe they would sell this as no markings in text when it clearly is

I didn't end up needing it for my class, but it is very interesting to flip through. Lots of great information for anyone interested in animation.

Great book for my college course and came in handy.

Very good condition

good

Really good book. I have enjoyed reading through iit and im sure anybody else who buys it will also feel the same.

History of animation of all types. Very well analyzed and with illustrations to make it easier to understand what the author is talking about. Any person interested in animation would be fascinated by this deep study =)
