We have all enjoyed those milestones of animation: Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland. But some sequences have marked us more than others. This Volume 2 aims at analyzing why. The book makes us share the slow process of their achievement, from the first preliminary concepts to the final product. This way, we can better assess the difficulties, the choices, the challenges that the Disney artists were confronted with. Not only the animators, but all those unsung people from storymen to clean-ups, musicians or inkers. It is an opportunity to be better acquainted with people who are less known. But the reader will also find more information about how the greatest animators worked. The text is filled with hundreds of extracts from exclusive interviews that the author has conducted through all those years.
The set of 10 sequences which are analyzed here are a real kaleidoscope: deep sadness with a jailed mother elephant cradling her son or a fawn losing his mother. Utter delirium with a parade of pink elephants or a mad tea party. Suspense with a fight between two stags. Fun with a laborious skating lesson by a rabbit or dancing the Samba and the jitterbug.
