Walt Disney’s Nine Old Men: The Flipbooks
Shall we just agree at the start of this review that Walt Disney merchandise can either be classy or tacky? Well, this product is definitely in the classy category. “Walt Disney’s Nine Old Men: The Flipbooks” written by Pete Docter and the Walt Disney Animation Research Library is a box set of nine flip books that would add quality to anyone’s bookshelf.
The box set pays tribute to the nine original animators of the Walt Disney Studios. The Nine Old Men: Frank Thomas; Eric Larson; Les Clark; John Lounsberry; Ollie Johnson; Ward Kimball; Wolfgang Reitherman; Milt Kahl and Mark Davis.
Each flip book portrays a well-known scene from an animated Disney cartoon in the original line drawn sketches. The cartoons include some of Disney’s classic early ones from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, such as Dumbo, Fantasia and Bambi as well as many more. Additionally, the box also contains interesting information about each of the nine artists.
