A ‘Best of’ Disney’s animated features? How biased! How ridiculous! How impossible! This may well be a first reaction.
Yet, after launching a poll about ten years ago in Europe and the USA, the author could eventually come up with a list, because some sequences do stand out. They stand out for various reasons, based on sentimental memories as well as artistic criteria.
The point of this book is to dive into the making of those memorable sequences.
Thanks to in-depth researches, hundreds of personal exclusive interviews of artists from several generations, the help of renowned experts, and several stays in the Walt Disney Archives in the 1980’s, volume one is now completed. As publisher Bob McLain understood how much was left to say about those legendary sequences, this is only the start of a series of various volumes, each one being dedicated to a handful of features. It is also an opportunity to shed light on unsung artists.
Originally, the plan was to combine both text and illustrations. But the focus being on text and analysis, those books are eventually not illustrated. However, the text is exactly what the author wanted it to be, with neither restraints nor compromises.
Now let’s be carried away by the magic of the first three milestones in the history of Disney features.

Title: Must-have for Disney fans
Review: Christian Renaut found a new way to study the making of Disney animated classics: focus on a few scenes per film, find out who did what, and explain how all these personal contributions contribute to a greater team work under Walt's guidance. His book really makes you feel the atmosphere of daily work at the studio during its golden years, with a profusion of anecdotes and quotes. A real must-have for Disney fans.

Title: No pictures?
Review: Sketchy footnoting and, worst of all, no pictures. As Walt's Alice in Wonderland exclaimed: "I'm sorry, but how can one possibly pay attention to a book with no pictures in it?"

Title:
Review: Un lavoro unico nel suo genere, dedicato ai veri appassionati dei classici d'animazione Disney. Il primo volume di una serie che si annuncia entusiasmante, se si desidera entrare nei dettagli della realizzazione dei classici animati da "Biancaneve e i sette nani" ad oggi. Prima di procedere con questo immenso lavoro di ricerca, Christian Renaut ha intervistato per anni esperti e semplici appassionati di tutto il mondo che gli hanno confidato emozioni e impressioni sulle proprie sequenze preferite. Esaminando queste sequenze soltanto, l'autore ci addentra nella vicenda della realizzazione di questi film immortali, raccontando esperienze di vita quotidiana, commenti, successi e sofferenze dei loro creatori e di tutte le persone coinvolte. Un volume importante e insolito, lontano dalle argomentazioni più risapute riguardo i film Disney e dedicato invece agli appassionati che conservano indelebili dentro di sè dettagli, dialoghi e intermezzi musicali che mai prima d'ora erano stati messi sotto un riflettore.
