Mouse Under Glass: Secrets of Disney Animation and Theme Parks by David Koenig

3.0

A bit outdated, Koenig presents an interesting and straight-forward look at Disney animation and what made it tick through the mid-1990s. I liked the format of the book - each movie is presented separately with a synopsis of the original story, the Disney version storyline, hidden images, bloopers and theme park tie-ins. The book ends on a high note, the end of the second golden age but it would be interesting to see what Koenig would say about the lackluster movies that followed and the new direction the studio is currently heading in. A little harsh if you can't stand any criticism towards the Mouse, but a true look at how Disney Animation develops behind the scenes.
