In the 1970s and 1980s, the Disney animation studio redefined its creative vision in the wake of Walt Disney’s death. This latest volume from renowned Disney historian Didier Ghez profiles Ken Anderson and Mel Shaw, whose work defined beloved classic Disney characters from films like The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Robin Hood, and The Rescuers.


With vivid descriptions of passages from the artists’ autobiographies and interviews, accompanied by never-before-seen images of their art and process, this visually rich collection offers a rare view of the Disney leg­ends whose work helped shape the nature of character and story development for generations to come.
