<BR>
It looks like fellow DCMLer Didier Ghez is publishing a book next month filled with interviews of Rudy Ising, David Hand, Bill Tytla, Marc Davis, Jack Hannah, Milt Kahl, etc., etc. talking about a ton of stuff that went on at Disney Animation during the 1920's to 1960's. <BR>
<BR>
Even more important (as far as the DCML is concerned) is that a future book in his Talking Disney series will be about Disney comics containing interviews with Floyd Gottfredson, Paul Murry, Al Hubbard and others. I've never read any Murry-Hubbard interviews, so this'll be great to me. Didier asked about a Gottfredson interview by Saba a few months ago on the list. I had downloaded it previously and was able to send it to him, didn't know it was possibly for a book, so it's nice to indirectly contribute to it. :) <BR>
<BR>
At any rate, they seem like books to look forward to and I'll defintely be getting the Disney comics book whenever it comes out and probably a few of the others as well. Below is some more info on the upcoming Disney Animation book to be released in November:<BR>
<BR>
Ghez, Didier (editor): <B>Walt's People - Volume 1</B> published by Xlibris; 2004. <BR>
The Talking Disney series is a collection of the best interviews ever conducted with Disney artists.<BR>
<BR>
Contributors to the series include noted Disney experts Robin Allan, Paul F. Anderson, Michael Barrier, J.B. Kaufman, Jim Korkis, Mike Lyons and John Province.<BR>
<BR>
Talking Disney - Volume 1 includes in-depth interviews with artists Rudy Ising, Dave Hand, Bill Tytla, Ken Anderson, Jack Hannah, John Hench, Marc Davis, Milt Kahl, Harper Goff and Joyce Carlson and discusses among many other subjects the Disney Studio before Mickey Mouse, the challenges in directing Snow White, the making of Destino with Dali, the process that led to the production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the frustrations and joys of Marc Davis and Milt Kahl and the creation of It's a Small World. It contains hundreds of new stories about the Studio and its artists and should delight even the most serious historians and enthusiasts.<BR>
