Fascinating history of virtually the entire history of animation as we know it, starting with sideshow proto-animation called "chalk-talking" and leading all the way up to Pixar. It's mostly about animation in America, though a decent amount of space is given to anime as well. I came away feeling like I learned a lot.

Definitely an entertaining overview of animation with a fantastic notes section in the back. While I am left with several questions such as "what about Happy Harmonies" and why didn't they mention "such and such person" I am reminded that this is not meant to be definitive. And so, I think it is really well done. I wish I could give it an extra half star.
