Illuminating The Lamp...

For those with a love for the Lamp...

You can pre-order "The Art of Pixar Short Films" by Cartoon Brew co-founder Amid Amidi, with a foreword by the Mousetro himself, John Lasseter. It includes essays and interviews with the artists and storytellers involved and more than 250 pastels pencil sketches, storyboards and final rendered frames of all those shorts that audiences have loved viewing before each and every Pixar film.

A great collection for that empty coffee table, if ya ask me...

Tell Me A Story...

If a picture says a thousand words, "Walt Disney Animation Studios-Story: The Archieve Series" speaks volumes...

This is the first book in a new Disney line known as "The Artist Series." It's a lavish tome with amazing art from such Disney Legends as Bill Peet, Don DaGradi, Joe Rinaldi, Roy Williams, the genius Ub Iwerks, Burny Mattinson, Vance Gerry and more.

It's available for pre-order right now from Amazon...

Get it. It's good luvin' for the Disney Geek in all of us.

Disney Unleashes Boom...

Disney Publishing Worldwide and BOOM! Studios today announced a joint venture that would feature many of Pixar's famous characters staring in stories in the comic book medium. Everything from Toy Story, Finding Nemo to Wall-E would be used in the creations...

The one that sounds of interest to me is the comic book staring "The Incredibles", writen by BOOM! Editor-In-Chief Mark Waid with cover illustrations by Darwyn Cooke(perfect selection, IMO).

The comics are clearly aimed at kids and younger audiences. If you've read comics in the last couple of decades you would notice that most stories are aimed at late teens to early twenties... which is why I'm sure some parents are a little stunned walking out of "The Dark Knight".
