Praise for Kit Laybourne's previous book, The Animation Book: "I read one chapter and then went and made a little film with my seven-year-old son. When he finally saw the thing moving and come to life, he giggled for a solid half hour. I love this book."
Peter Hastings, writer/producer of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain and creator of Disney's One Saturday Morning. "This is a great book! The Animation Book is the perfect starter kit for anyone interested in entering the animation business or learning about the art of animation."

it has it all."
