Rating  - Quite Simply the best !!!! Essential !!!
This amazing and exhaustivly detailed book describes the magic of the Disney art animation process from the 1920s to present day with many beautiful images of the world's most beloved cartoon characters. Thomas and Johnston were employed from the mid-1930s to 1978 in the Disney animation department and retired to create this book. Essential for anyone involved in animation or the graphic arts !!
Rating - Animation Bible
At every animation studio I've worked at, they had a copy of this book. Everyone in the buisness I know consider this as the definate animation book. Strange enough, a lot of top animators didn't own a copy because it was out of print. When I bought my copy about 15 years ago, I kind of stumbled over it in a bargain book store because the shop was selling it out for twenty bucks. Only years later it sort of got famous. Probably it didn't sell well because the average reader isn't in the animation buisness. But if you are already or you want to be in the buisness, try everything to get a copy. Even 150 bucks is still cheap compared to the value you get. I mean, a photographer pays ten thousands of dollars for his equipment. An animator only needs a pegbar, an electric pencil-sharpener and this book!
Rating - It isn't out of print
This is a great book and the truth is that it isn't really out of print . I think it is ridiculous to get this book at such a high price at ebay . If they are selling the first print or some autograph one , I had nothing to say . In fact , you can still order this book at ...at a very reasonable price . If you really want this book , I suggest you guy to check it out . BTW , I saw at least 20 copies of this book selling at a local San Francisco bookstore at (price)( still a little bit higher that the original price (price) but it is acceptable ) . I just wonder how come this book will treat as a out of print item ?
Rating  - If this book is so great...
...then why is it out of print? I have been looking for this book for a long time. It only appears at used book stores or on ebay at high prices. If it is so great, why is it so hard to find?
Rating - POR FIN!!!!
Solo nos hacia falta manifestarnos en las calles o hacer una sentada delante de la sede de Hyperion, para que alguien se dignase a escuchar las abundantes suplicas que reclamaban la reedicion de este adorable clasico. Por fin, parece que ha cundido la cordura, y nuevos compradores pueden volver a disfrutar de una de las joyas de la corona (tal vez LA JOYA), en cuanto a animacion se refiere...P>Ni que decir tiene que las mas altas expectativas quedan satisfechas con "The Illusion of Life", no solo es un pilar fundamental(y un caudal de viva memoria de 2 de los más legendarios animadores de la Disney, 2 de los "Old Nine Men")para cualquier animador o aspirante a serlo, sino que se constituye en un libro basico para cualquier biblioteca sobre animacion, cine en general, o sencillamente para cualquier amante de un buen libro, cuidado y lujoso, hasta la extenuacion, y escrito con el amor, y el conocimiento, que da lo vivido.
Hyperion sigue asi su gloriosa lista de estupendos libros sobre Disney, a la que se unen dos que habían estado fuera de sus arcas. Este (que estaba en manos de Abbeville en ediciones mas antiguas) o el tambien genial "Encyclopedia of Animated Characters" de John Grant (que fue originalmente publicado por Harper & Row), tal vez lo mejor hoy por hoy en el mercado sobre el cine de Disney...
