ReadItDaddy's Third Picture Book of the Week - Week Ending 11th October 2019: "Frozen (Disney Animated Classics)" with foreword by Lisa Keene (Studio Press / Disney Studios)

Our third book of the week, yes third, once again dips into the Disney archives for a brilliant adaptation of a movie that didn't just break box office records, it completely destroyed them!

"Frozen (Disney Animated Classics)" begins with a foreword from production designer Lisa Keene, one of the many, many talented individuals who worked on this amazing movie.

You'll probably be a tiny teeny bit familiar with Disney's version of The Snow Queen - a classic tale but given Disney's usual amazing story treatment, turning it into a complete phenomenon.

The story of sisters Anna and Elsa is so well known that most kids can probaby rattle it out by heart. Their lives tinged with early tragedy as an accident imbues Elsa with mystical icy powers, before both their parents are lost at sea, the movie chronicles their lives as they become queen and princess in a kingdom in an icy grip, with nefarious ne'er do wells ready to sieze power at a moment's notice.

As the movie's sequel begins to build momentum, this is a truly beautiful book filled once again with those gorgeous production and design illustrations, showing off the amazing talent at Disney studios.

Baby Anna is so cute, and Olaf steals every scene

Sum this book up in a sentence: Definitely one you won't want to let go!

"Disney's The Lion King (Disney Animated Classics)" (Disney / Studio Press)

Once again, Studio Press have a winner on their hands, and even though this isn't one of our favourite animated movies (I know, I know, shoot us down, go on!) "Disney's The Lion King" is still one brilliant book.

Using the same format as the other brilliant Animated Classics books, once again you'll learn all about Simba the curious little cub, his father Mufasa and the animals who live in the vast African plains.

Simba's evil uncle Scar seizes power, exiling Simba and enslaving the lion pride, until the young cub realises his destiny...

There's some fantastic concept art from some of the finest artists at Disney Studios who all worked on the production.

These books are so highly collectable, and brilliantly presented in gorgeous cloth-bound foil-inlaid covers with a ribbon bookmark so you don't lose your place when telling the story of Simba to your own little cubs.

Gorgeous stuff once again!

"One day son, all this will be yours!"


Sum this book up in a sentence: A glorious and collectable addition to the fantastic "Animated Classics" range, full of amazing concept and production art.
