Disney’s Treasury of Children’s Classics was an excellent read! So many stories (22 stories to be exact) collected into one book. Took me many months to finish reading it for my daughter. Each story ended with how Disney made the story into an animated movie. It’s definitely cool to read about the animated movie making processes. The Bambi story, artists were sent into the woods for a month to study the animals’ movements and how they are in their element so that artists could draw them. Many animators had to take drawing classes to learn how to draw animals. The number of pictures they have to draw per movie was staggering so it made sense that each movie requires many people who can draw. Even though I was reading these children’s classics for my daughter, I was personally enjoying them. It’s good to read them again every once in a while.

This is probably my favorite of the Disney collection on my bottom shelf. It collects all the Disney stories from Snow White to Pocahontas and is full of full-color film stills and rough sketches from the animators. And after each story is a Behind-the-scenes page explaining the making of each respective film. Such a treasure. I need to find a Vol. 2 that has Mulan, Tarzan, Hercules, Hunchback, Atlantis, Brother Bear, Lilo & Stitch, and Princess & the Frog in it. Okay, and maybe Frozen and Brave and the more recent ones too ;)
