Reviews

Oliver Cotte's excellent new book, Secrets of Oscar-winning Animation, offers a chance to revisit 13 of these eclectic Oscar-winning shorts, through in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes notes about the making of each mini masterpiece. Cotte does such a great job we kind of wish he had compiled a whole series of books about each and every animated short favored by old man Oscar. - Animation, September 2007
