Before ever after : the lost lectures of Walt Disney's Animation Studio
\"Before Ever After is a treasury of rare and unpublished lecture notes, photographs and drawings which reflect the culture of learning that Walt Disney curated to raise the level of his artists in preparation for their first feature: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Walt hand-picked instructors from the renowned Chouinard Art Institute to hold classes on action and drawing. He screened films for study. He brought in talent from Architect Frank Lloyd Wright to choreographer George Balanchine to humorist Alexander Woollcott to teach and inspire his team. The result is a stunning collection of transcripts and history which not only lay the artistic foundation for the animated art form, but also give us an intimate look inside the walls of Walt Disney's studio during a seminal and profoundly creative moment in time.\"--provided from Amazon.com.

Learning with Disney
This article reconsiders the concept of innocence in relation to animated films for children, focusing particularly on Disney but additionally drawing on examples from other traditions. The author argues that the notion of innocence within these films is potentially double-edged, encompassing both actively transformative and more vulnerable, passive properties. Children's animation is not simply culturally conservative, however, but also rehearses other possibilities, often in a playful form. The article suggests that what children learn from Disney and other animated films is shaped in complex ways by responses to the quality of innocence with which such films are so often imbued.

The animated man
Walt Disney (1901-1966) was one of the most significant creative forces of the twentieth century, a man who made a lasting impact on the art of the animated film, the history of American business, and the evolution of twentieth-century American culture. He was both a creative visionary and a dynamic entrepreneur, roles whose demands he often could not reconcile.

'Snow White' for Film Buffs, Newcomers; A lavish two-disc DVD includes a fully restored picture and soundtrack, radio shows, deleted scenes and photo galleries
One of the first models for the character of Snow White in Walt Disney's legendary 1937 animated feature \"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs\" was actually the big-eyed actress Zasu Pitts, who starred in the classic silent \"Greed\" and many comedies in the '30s and '40s. After that concept was scrapped, the animators experimented with making the heroine a blue-eyed damsel with long, blond curly hair, then finally settled on a pale, dainty beauty with short black hair. As revealed in the lavish two-disc DVD of \"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs\" released this week ($30), Snow White, the Queen, the Witch and the Seven Dwarfs all went through several metamorphoses during the three-year production of the first feature-length cartoon. \"There are some of our movies from the first couple of decades that we didn't have as much detailed archival materials as we did with 'Snow White,\"' says Chris Carey, the studio's senior vice president for DVD production. \"But even back then, everyone recognized 'Snow White' as something special. A lot more stuff got saved, which made our jobs easier and more enjoyable.\"
