Book Overview
After Walt Disney’s death, the animation studio had to find fresh ideas and new talent. Ken Anderson and Mel Shaw were the artists most often asked to incubate new projects from blank canvases. Their drawings, pastel work, and character designs helped keep Disney animation alive.
The volume is part of Disney’s animation research library and archive collections. It includes a foreword by Don Hahn and covers both artists in depth.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Concept sketches for Robin Hood by Ken Anderson.
- Character studies for Thumper in Bambi by Mel Shaw.
- Character designs for Bianca and Bernard in The Rescuers by Ken Anderson.
- A concept sketch for The Aristocats by Ken Anderson.
- A foreword by Don Hahn and a dedicated chapter on each artist.
Why This Book Matters
This book records a crucial transition period in Disney history. After Walt, the studio’s veteran animators had to pass on their knowledge and inspire a new generation.
Anderson and Shaw did exactly that, influencing artists such as Brad Bird, Henry Selick, John Musker, Ron Clements, Lisa Keene, and Tim Burton.
