5 out of 5 stars Animation Magazine The 20 Year Collection   May 10, 2008

This is a wonderful, entertaining journey into the past 20 years of animation and visual effects. It's definitely a thrill to see the progress of the art from--from 1987 to 2007 and see how far this industry has changed and improved thanks to visionaries like John Lasseter, Craig McCracken and Brad Bird. It was fun to see articles by people like Lasseter, McCracken and Nancy Cartwright (who is Bart on the Simpsons) as well as toon historians like Leonard Maltin and John Canemaker and indie animator Bill Plympton. I still hang on to my first issue of this important magazine and this hardcover art book is the perfect gift for toon fans--they've included every cover of the magazine (so you have excellent 4-color reproductions of the magazine cover with iconic characters like Roger Rabbit, The Simpsons, SpongeBob Squarepants, Aladdin, Shrek and The Little Mermaid all the way up to The Incredibles, Ratatouille and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I wish Animation Magazine would put out an annual collection of their cool covers and awesome production articles every year!


5 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Collection of 20 Years of Animation   May 6, 2008

This is a hefty, high-quality and GORGEOUS book!! It contains 20 years of cover images for Animation Magazine (some really great artwork for animation collectors and fans) and inspiring essays by a lot of animation heavy-hitters. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in the history of animation; the fact that it's a magazine collection offers a glimpse of how the industry has developed over the last two decades in an interesting "real-time" sort of way. This is also a GREAT gift for students of animation (I know a couple who keep borrowing my copy!) as well as just plain old fans who want something pretty for their coffee table. Definitely worth adding to your library. A+
