The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation (Disney Editions Deluxe) Hardcover – Illustrated, 21 Mar. 1997

I was so looking forward to this arriving and it didn’t disappoint. Its absolutely stunning for a book! For fans of Disney but also animation in general to see the process, its very detailed and going to be a wonderful book to go through. Amazing.

What a gorgeous book! Beautifully illustrated (as you would expect), high quality and so much content. The perfect gift for fans of Disney and students of animation. One small note - the product images show a signed copy of a different edition of the book. (I’m glad I guessed that might not be the case or I might have been disappointed! No idea why they can’t include the correct images, but wanted to give a wee warning)

My daughter is due to go to Uni to study animation. As well as loving the old type hand drawing animation she loves Disney esp the classics. I've got her this for Christmas so haven't seen her reaction yet but I'm so excited for her to see it. You know as a parent those presents they'll go bonkers about and this is it for me :) as for my opinion it's an absolute beaut of a book. As a big Disney fan myself waves of nostalgia came flooding in with just a quick glance so I can just imagine her reaction! Beautifully put together with lots crammed into every single page. I'll be looking through it all too and I'm so pleased with the purchase, pat on the back for me :) you'll not regret buying this book.

Beautifully presented. Book is really heavy. My daughter is very heavily into Disney and design and is really happy with this book

I thought and thought about getting this book-I had seen online videos of it and really wasn’t sure. I’m so happy to say that online videos and reviews don’t do it any justice -this is a beautiful and informative book and a real look behind the scenes-I would definitely recommend getting it to anyone.

Great animation techniques have been around for years, it's just the application that changes.This book was recommended for animation students 15 years ago, and I would still expect it is still recommended.It's also beautifully presented.You also don't need to like Disney to love this book.

A beautiful book, can't wait to sit down and read it. Arrived earlier than expected and it great condition. However pictures in the advert all make a point of showing this as signed and the book most definitely isn't. I appreciate the description does not say signed however the pictures contradict this.

Worth every penny, created with love and care
