Publisher Comments

Cartoons-- One Hundred Years Of Cinema Animation provides the first comprehensively detailed history and critique of cinema animation produced around the world. It is the long-awaited English language edition of a reference book which has already been acclaimed as a classic work of scholarship, it its Italian and French editions, on the marvelous and exciting subject of animated cinema.

Review

Few works have been so anticipated as Anna Taraboletti-Segre's splendid translation of Bendazzi's comprehensive history of animation cinema. This work reviews the decades of development in animation, from individuals like Emile Reynaud and Emile Cohl through the studios of Disney and the National Film Board of Canada into the revolutionary realm of computer animation. The thoroughness of Cartoons is evident in its international scope, for example, its inclusion of the exciting and neglected work produced in Latin America and Asia. This marvelous encyclopedia is brilliantly illustrated with dazzling color plates. Its scholarly breadth, richness, and attention to detail, along with its amazingly readable and engaging narrative, make this the most indispensable text on world animation history. Enthusiastically recommended as both a fascinating story and an incredible reference resource for both scholars and aficionados of the art of film.T. Lindvall, Regent University, Choice, April 1995 Indiana University Press

"Enthusiastically recommended as both a fascinating story and an incredible reference resource for both scholars and aficionados of the art of film." --Choice
