In the fourth edition of his successful book The Disney Films, author Leonard Maltin updates his classic tribute to the genius of the man who brought Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Dumbo, Davy Crockett, Cruella De Vil, and Mary Poppins to movie and television screens all over the world.
After examining Walt Disney's career from his early days as an entrepreneurial commercial artist up to his triumphant years as the head of an entertainment kingdom, The Disney Films presents a fascinating overview of every Disney film, both animated and live-action. Included are plot summaries, production credits, and insightful critical commentaries for all of the projects released under Disney's leadership, as well as interviews with notable Disney staff members who provide recollections of the creative process and of their influential and inspiring mentor, Walt.

"As each new generation discovers the Disney classics, The Disney Films is the perfect introduction to the amazing and amusing stories of how these cherished movies came to be, and to the man whose creations will continue to delight the world for years to come."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
Leonard Maltin traces Disney's rise from commercial artist to producer of his first Mickey Mouse cartoon, "Plane Crazy," through more than thirty years of phenomenal worldwide acclaim. Everything Disney undertook blossomed under his careful guidance—early silent cartoons, live-action short subjects, over eighty feature films, hundreds of television shows, even a wealth of public service and wartime films. The author carefully examines and explains why they succeeded, how Disney himself felt about his work, and why the public was so eager to pay him homage.
