Disney's the Little Mermaid: Sketch Book (Walt Disney's Sketchbook Series)

Summary: Disney's Sketchbooks - Great Resource for Artists!
Review: This fine addition to the Disney Sketchbook series has many of the wonderful sketches done by Disney's animation department for The Little Mermaid, including many pieces from the storyboards, and several sketches of scenes that never made it into the final film.

Artists that would like to study the Disney style of drawing and animation should find this volume a terrific addition to their collection despite its rather high price. As a student of art, and a fan of the Disney style, I highly recommend any of these books for your library.

Summary: Lovely sketches, but...where is the animation?
Review: This is my first Disney sketchbook series, and I except nothing from the book (rarely anybody owns one). This book is more of a character drawing and sketches book, there is hardly any concept art, background design, color test, or development art. I myself as an animation student personally thinks this is a lovely book to have, but I wouldn't be able to use it for reference or inspiration. It is more of a collectionable item for Disney and animation fans. I strongly suggest you check it out before paying the big buck for it.

Summary: I can watch for hours to these beautiful drawings!
Review: You cannot compare the sketches with the film, I think, these pencildrawings are an artform on itsself.
