Description: This witty and fascinating study reminds us that there was animation before Disney: about thirty years of creativity and experimentation flourishing in such extraordinary work asGirdie the DinosaurandFelix the Cat.Before Mickey, the first and only in-depth history of animation from 1898-1928, includes accounts of mechanical ingenuity, marketing and art. Crafton is equally adept at explaining techniques of sketching and camera work, evoking characteristic styles of such pioneering animators as Winsor McCay and Ladislas Starevitch, placing work in its social and economic context, and unraveling the aesthetic impact of specific cartoons. This is an ex-library book that is practically new. It only has one library stamp. Apart from the card insert sleeve and the one stamp, all other pages are unmarked. The book shows no signs of use.
