good look at inside the Disney animal films

This book provides an inside look at the making of several of the Disney animal files that were the mainstay of Disney's Sunday night TV show.

behind the scenes in production

Bill Koehler was the Disney Studios animal trainer for 21 years, and his work is featured prominently in the vast library of live action movies made by the studio for theatrical and television issue. He has written other books on the very straitforward task of training animals, but this book is strictly a film by film list of his challenges and humerous adventures at Disney. If you ever want to know how they staged the animal race in "Swiss Family Robinson", or got the animals to interact in "Incredible Journey", or the comedies like "The Ugly Dachsund", this is the book for you. Out of print since 1979.
