Buy They Drew as They Pleased: Volume 5: The Hidden Art of Disney’s Early Renaissance (Disney X Chronicle Books) Illustrated by Ghez, Didier, Hahn, Don (ISBN: 9781452178707) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Finally! - I've always been a fan of the "scratchy" animation style of 70's Disney for as long as I can remember, but from my ever growing collection of Disney art books I always find them to be under represented. Just as an idea, this book looks at Aristocats, Robin Hood, Bednobs and Broomsticks etc. It covers all my favourites and gives such a scope of art through the 6 or 7 artists they focus on. Volume 5 was my first foray into these books and I am so impressed that I've since purchased volume 4, and have my eye on the rest of them. Review: Beautiful - If you like art books then this series is a must have. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and Ghez includes lots of interesting insight into the animators. Lucky to scoop this up at a fantastic price.

They Drew as They Pleased: Volume 5: The Hidden Art of Disney's Early Renaissance
A truly beautiful book. It was interesting to read and the pictures were beautiful. Got this for my daughter as she is a bit Disney fan and is interested in animation.

My Childhood in a book. Good buy for a fan of the Disney Bronze Age!!
As a 27 year old artist raised on the Disney "Bronze Age", this book has a good amount to give for fans of that experimental era. The concept art by Ken Anderson and Mel Shaw are especially lovely. I do feel slight disappointment at the lack of extra focus certain films get i.e. Petes Dragon, Bedknobs and Broomsticks (Just a heads up for those who may be looking for something meatier) but I think the quality of the art itself makes up for it. As for the condition of the book itself, the inside is nicely presented and you get a lot of reading material to boot. The outer sleeve was slightly creased however, which is a bummer since the last book I got in this series was in excellent condition. Regardless though, I am very pleased with what I got and I will definitely use it for inspiration in future.

I have now purchased all five books in this series. For anyone that loves the art of the Disney animators you will be very pleased with these books.
