Disney's Dogs--Great H/C

This is a great H/C for any Disney movie fan, whether it be a hardcore Disneyite, or the casual fan of Disney animation. Would make a great present for Dog fans too. I ended up having to buy another one, as I gave this one to our Grandson, and a great bargain for a H/C----Dan

A small-sized book completely packed with illustrations any Disney fan or animation fan will enjoy

Disney's Dogs is a collection of rough sketches, finished art, and random illustrations from Disney animated movies and shorts. Ranging from the earliest art of Pluto to Disney's upcoming movie Bolt!, the book covers both the traditional dogs and many of the "dog-like" characters from other movies --Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch," the footstool in "Beauty and the Beast," the carpet from "Aladdin," Slinky Dog from "Toy Story," and Zero from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. The movies focused on dogs are well-represented (101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp, The Fox and the Hound, and Oliver & Company) as are the sidekick dogs from Cinderella, Peter Pan, The Great Mouse Detective, and others. There are two small flipbook sections in the back: Lady and Tramp eating that single string of pasta, and Nana from Peter Pan slipping on a toy wagon. This is a small-sized book, but is completely packed with illustrations any Disney fan or animation fan will enjoy.

Lovely art book for the whole family to enjoy

This book is filled with gorgeous images on nice paper stock. The introduction by Roy Disney was a nice touch. My favorite parts were the flip book section (although it was a bit tricky to do) and especially the section on Disney non-dogs (you really have to see this section to appreciate the extent of pseudo-dogs in Disney movies). I can't wait to see the next one by Ms. Khalaf!

Great book, perfect gift for Dog Lovers and Disney Lovers!

What a charming book! Cover to cover filled with beautiful artwork, many sketches and "development" pieces as well as the finished characters. What is most amazing after looking through the entire book is how the artists capture all the things best about dogs. Through animation they can represent all the fun, compassion, intelligence and love dogs have in a way that photographs just can't. Also, I had forgotten how many wonderful Disney dogs there have been over the years, this was a fun walk down memory lane. There's even a little Lady and the Tramp flip book at the back. Cool! I know of at least 3 people on my list who will be getting this book for Christmas.
