Love 'em or hate 'em. Disney's versions of classic fairy tales have worked their way into our collective consciousness with so many brilliant animated versions over the years...Our Book of the Week choices for this week are three absolutely brilliant new versions of the tales from the new "Animated Classics" range from Studio Press and Lily Murray.
More than just a retelling of the stories, the books are highly illustrated, featuring a mix of shots taken from the movies, as well as a ton of process and concept art as well.
So yep, that was us sold straight away as we're absolutely nutso about process and production art.
"Sleeping Beauty", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "The Little Mermaid" (which was released in January this year) are the first three titles with "Dumbo" following on in March to coincide with the new Live Action version of that well-loved tale.
So let's take a look inside at this gorgeous set of titles...
The stories are highly illustrated with a mix of animation cels and production art. GORGEOUS! |
A complete wow, collectible and desirable! |
Sum these books up in a sentence: Absolutely essential for Disney fans, gloriously presented and illustrated!
The "Disney Animated Classics" range by Lily Murray and Studio Press are available now (kindly supplied for review)
