From Booklist

As animation scholar Barrier notes, the pleasures found in the best Hollywood cartoons appeal more to adults than to children. With great expertise and insight, he identifies and explains those pleasures in an informative chronicle of the cartoon industry: its early black-and-white and silent days in New York, its move to Hollywood and sound, the pioneering feature films of Disney, and its decline in the face of changing studio economics and the rise of television. He is especially insightful about the cartoons of the 1940s, the genre's golden age, when its creators perfected the amalgam of story, character, and technique in landmark films. The fact that Barrier draws on nearly three decades' worth of interviews (200) with directors, animators, and other industry figures attests to the collaborative nature of cartoon filmmaking. Considering the colorful anecdotes he elicits from his subjects, Barrier's prose is often surprisingly prosaic. And scholarly tome or not, more illustrations would have been welcome. Even so, and although Leonard Maltin's Of Mice and Magic (1980) covers much the same ground in breezier fashion, libraries desiring more thorough and authoritative coverage should find Barrier's effort the definitive history of the field. Gordon Flagg -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

From Kirkus Reviews

A very detailed account of animated cartoons, strongly emphasizing the influence and personality of Walt Disney. This genres history is still undercovered, so cartoon expert Barriers book should come as a welcome addition to researchers and fans. The former editor of Funnyworld magazine opens his text with an assessment of pioneers Bray, Barr, and McCay, focusing on the businesses and systems (as opposed to the artistry) that went into their cinematic experiments. Barrier situates the cartooning pioneers in their office environs, detailing the management and scut work necessary for the films production. Moving on quickly to the meat of his book, the Walt Disney studios, the author takes an interesting tack in contrasting Disneys self-image (garnered from letters to his wife) with the views of his associates and underlings. While fellow animators considered him something of a bully and philistine, Walt saw himself more as a driven businessman. Barrier extensively covers cartoonings business transactions, noting specific dollar amounts paid to animators, studios, and distributors and exploring the deal-making that brought cartoons from the East to the West Coast. Nor does he neglect the arts mechanics, providing reasonably in-depth analysis of its growth from simple series of drawings to multilayered cel animations. The book also covers the later years of cartooning, up through the mid-1960s, with a brief appendix on the longer animations of the '70s and '80s. While Warner Bros. and MGM each get chapters, the narrative continually returns to Disneys output; some may question whether this is the definitive text on cartoonings history, or merely a Disney-centric take on it. The books strongest point is also its weakest: Barriers in-depth coverage of every squabble, transaction, and mode of cartooning. This makes it appealing to the historian and cartoon geek, but a bit dull for the average reader. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Unsatisfying 7. Juli 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
You read one book on American animation, and you've read them all. Every one seems to say the same thing. All breeze over the 1950s, offering disparaging comments, if any at all, on the influence if the iconoclastic UPA and the merits of character-driven cartoons. Warner Bros. cartoons of the 1950s always get short shrift, especially all non-Chuck Jones work. Barrier dismisses all Robert McKimson and post-1948 Friz Freleng cartoons and therefore many of my favorite animated short films, the majority of which were popular staples of Saturday morning television for 30 years. He has nothing positive to say of the teaming of Friz Freleng and writer Warren Foster, the men mostly responsible for the Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam and Tweety/Sylvester series, and the DePatie-Freleng (Pink Panther) era is totally overlooked. Even Chuck Jones' most famous cartoons, i.e. "What's Opera, Doc?" and the Road Runner series, are harshly criticized.

Just once, I'd like to read a book that gives fair consideration and coverage to the works of all studios and directors.

Beautiful, complete, if Disney-centric (but then again, that's the reality, isn't it?) epic of the much-maligned and still underappreciated Hollywood animated cartoon. Barrier leaves no stone unturned in this definitive scholarly thesis on his subject, as well he shouldn't: this thing has been in the works--on and off--for almost two decades. (Only one minor quibble: not enough stuff on the Jones-Clampett feud and other non-Disney political issues.) Animation scholars rejoice!

One of the BEST... 31. Januar 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Along with Shamus Culhane's "Talking Animals and Other People," the best book on the history of the HOLLYWOOD CARTOON (OK, ok--Fleischer was in New York--and Miami--but you get the idea). The book returns to Disney again and again as the standard (not the axis) of how these films were made and marketed. One of the best things about this book is something a lot of books seem to talk about, but few show as clearly: Disney's genius was the idea that CHARACTER and PERSONALITY go a lot further than slapstick, no matter how good. It's almost taken for granted nowadays--but the very idea was revolutionary at the time. Someone else may have eventually figured this out (and silence those who call this book "Disney-centric"), but Disney's was THE place to be in the early days of cartoon animation. I wish Mike Barrier would provide a companion book with illustrations cross referenced with this current book. And who's to say it's not in the works... (btw, stay away from Stephen Kanter's "Serious Business," another book on animation. Riddled with historic and contemporary innaccuracies, it's quite silly altogether...)

In-depth, but a little Disney-centric

Excellent on drawing; poor on music, character, aesthetics.
This book is about as good as the other reviews above indicate, including the comment about the prosaic prose.

However it is by no means a complete or definitive coverage. Lesen Sie weiter...
