Talk:Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] "Best" animation book

"It is widely considered to be one of the best books ever published on the topic of animation. " I changed the above statement to something more neutral. — oo64eva (AJ) (U | T | C) @ 07:14, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Well, I changed that back. Having read a *lot* of animation literature and reviews, it certainly is cosidered to be *one* of the best books - if not even *the* best... --Janke | Talk 29 June 2005 00:36 (UTC)
    • Unfortunately Janke, "You" is not an authoritative source. Just because you are blindly parroting the opinions of others doesn't give the comment any weight. The idea is to not sway from NPOV unless there's a credible way to substantiate it. Anyone who knows anything about modern character animation knows that what you say is true but you can't just bark because -you-know that's the case. Everyone else has to know too.
      • Note what is written on www.awn.com: "Disney's ILLUSION OF LIFE tops best animation books poll" If any, AWN is a reliable source! --Janke | Talk 09:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

So is the title Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life or The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation? -Branddobbe 19:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life is the correct title, and it is written so on the cover of the first edition. Why the publisher has changed the title for the reprint, I don't know. But among animators, it's simply called Illusion of Life, since the full title is so unwieldy. --Janke | Talk 21:01, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
