Dear all: They Drew As They Pleased - The Hidden Art of Disney's Golden Age is now available for pre-order on Amazon.

This is the first volume in what should be a series of six. Volume 1 focuses on the 1930s (Albert Hurter, Ferdinand Horvath, Gustaf Tenggren and Bianca Majolie); Volume 2 and 3 on the 1940s (Volume 2 includes Kay Nielsen, Sylvia Holland, Retta Scott and David Hall); Volume 4 on the 1950s; Volume 5 on the '60s and '70s and Volume 6 on the '80s and '90s.
Each volume should be 208 page long.

80 percent of the 400+ illustrations in Volume 1 have never been released before and the text is filled with new information which comes from humdreds of pages of never seen before documents, including the recently discovered diaries and correspondence of Ferdinand Horvath, the correspondence of Gustaf Tenggren, etc...

I am hard at work on Volume 2 and the content should be even more spectacular thanks to a few major discoveries....

I am so looking forward to these books. The preproduction art is the most fascinating of Disney art. Will there be any art from unproduced films or unused concepts?

Yes: a tremendous amount of material is from abandoned projects.
