Tony White’s new book is a good bridge for us older animators making the transition from pencil and paper to pixels and Pixar. He outlines the whole process extremely well.
The only problem is that, these days, all the big studios are falling over each other to churn out digital animated features that look more and more the same.
Technology is all very well, but if it leads film makers to ignore the essential creative ingredients of story, story and more story, the whole animation industry will collapse like an overbaked souffle.
It might be unfashionable to laud the old Disney features these days, but they still stand head and shoulders over the current offerings.
I still miss my pencil.

Tony White is one of the best Animators and instructors writing books and sharing his knowledge on his website and in animation magazines. This is another great book by him. I enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot about digital cartoon animation. Well worth the price.

I found this an easy to follow book. My son was thinking of a career in Animation and was looking to get a deeper insight into the subject. Well it certainly excited him to the point where he can’t wait to begin studying. This book was so much fun and easy to follow. We all enjoyed it so much – you just have to read it! It is definitely a ‘must have’.

I’m a professional 3D artist in Chile, i bought this book thinking that it’s was going to be a big help to improve my working piplines but i think is better for students of 3D animation because is to general, but that doesnt mean that is a bad book, i think that it will help in some areas but in animation in general i recomend animation survival kit of Richard Williams.
