“This book is dedicated to
WALT DISNEY
and the staff of artists who brought the magical quality of life to character animation.”
“The cartoons produced by the Disney Studio are among the wonders of the world. Here is the fascinating story of how such miracles are worked.” –Peter Ustinov
“This book is about Disney character animation, an art form that created such world-famous cartoon figures as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Disney animation makes audiences really believe in those characters, whose adventures and misfortunes make people laugh–and even cry.” 

Also, a embossed stamp and bold signature.
