Summary: great book
Review: I am a high school art teacher and teach four periods of animation each day. This book is very good, however, both of the copies I got began to fall apart after one day of being out in the classroom. If it was available in hard cover I would buy a classroom set.

Summary: great artist tips
Review: If you want to learn to draw the great Warner Brothers characters, this is the book. It is a long book with tons of tips and details, not just someone elses drawings to copy. Shows you haw to create movement and many other animators tips for the aspiring young animator. Both my son and I love taking turns with this book.

Summary: lots of drawings, but little info
Review: This booklet has a lot of Warner Brothers drawings, but it doesn't delve into the specifics of creating animation very well. I'd recommend getting The Animator's Survival Kit instead as it has tons of good and well explained info on the art of creating your own animation.

Summary: Best animation instruction book in a LONG while...
Review: Without a question, this book is worth the money of any animation student or collector seeking to get the most bang for their buck.What amazed me is that it covers much of the same material as the classic Disney's The Illusion of Life by Thomas and Johnston but with more important material covered and at a quarter of the price! (Sad to say, but The Illusion of Life 1995 edition IS out of print, folks... Even if it were still available, I'd recommend this book over it.) There is a clarity to this book that is missing in MOST animation instruction books and Cervone does an excellent job covering the basics without getting sidetracked by anectdotes (a big pet peeve of mine about The Illusion of Life). Not bad for a book that's 96 pages long ... (It's an ultralarge almost poster-sized book, but it's PACKED with information.) I'd recommend this book heartily to anyone seeking an animation book that covers a lot of the basics that seemed to be glossed over or missing from other books. P.S. -- It's best to have this book and The Illusion of Life, but if money IS an object for you (like it is with most of us), then definitely get this book...
