ReviewsPRAISE FOR DALI AND DISNEY: DESTINO-THE STORY, ARTWORK, AND FRIENDSHIP BEHIND THE LEGENDARY FILM "Dave Bossert gives us an insider's look at the production of a paramount achievement in animation and art. We learn about the culture of Disney studios through the years and the remarkable meeting of Disney and Dali which comes to feel destined. Further we get original insights into the character of Dali-at once, agreeable, hard-working, as well as eccentric." -- Hank Hine, Executive Director, The Dali in St. Petersburg, Florida, PRAISE FOR AN ANIMATOR'S GALLERY: ERIC GOLDBERG DRAWS THE DISNEY CHARACTERS "Disney Editions is no stranger to gorgeous art books, and Eric Goldberg is no stranger to gorgeous art. . . . The deceptively simply line work betrays a stunning talent, and all of the characters from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Baymax and everyone in between are masterpieces. . . . Many of the pieces 'link together' as characters and settings reach beyond the confines of the frames-demonstrating that imagination (and Goldberg's talent) cannot be contained. If you're a fan of Disney animation, this is definitely one you'll want in your collection." -- Geek Dad, PRAISE FOR OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT "This book finally tells his story as it should be told."-- Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian

SynopsisOswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927 by Walt Disney and his team through twenty-six cartoon shorts. Not without fits and starts, the series and its impish title character were an instant hit with audiences. At the end of that initial run, Walt lost the contract to Oswald, which prompted the creation of Mickey Mouse. Over the years, Oswald became a footnote in the Disney story . . . until 2006, when The Walt Disney Company recovered rights to Walt's twenty-six shorts. Behind-the-scenes, a complex and labor-intensive search developed for the physical film footage of some Oswald cartoons deemed "lost to time." For anyone interested in Disney origins, fascinated by early cinema, or entertained by a feisty little rabbit, this engaging and accessible volume delivers an in-depth look at Walt's first major animated success and the journey to reclaim the lost Disney films., Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is an in-depth look at the origins of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio and their first major fully animated success in 1927 with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit series. The narrative explores the historical importance of this character within The Walt Disney Company and recounts, first, the rejection of the first Oswald short, Poor Papa, followed by the overwhelmingly positive reception of second short, Trolley Troubles, and the ultimate loss of Disney's rights to the character and the company's modern-day journey to reclaim Disney's films.

  • Nice Overview of the Disney Oswald Cartoons

    Nice overview of the Disney Oswald cartoons of the 1920s. I wish this book could have done a complete listing of all the Oswald cartoons after Disney, the Winklers and the Lantz productions. This book is well illustrated, with an updated "new" model sheet by Eric Goldberg.
