Discover the revised edition of this classic animation guide.
Many of the top animators and directors working today first learnt about animation through a book originally published in 1948.
Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair, a former Disney and MGM animator, was also one of the very first books that I purchased when learning animation.
A few years ago, Cartoon Animation was republished, in a revised edition, which also incorporates Preston Blair’s second book, How to Animate Film Cartoons.
Since I’d never owned the second book, I was interested to see what this new volume had to offer and how the contents have changed over the years.
In my latest YouTube video, I discuss my findings, alongside both the strengths and the shortcomings of the book.
I hope you enjoy the video.
