Rating  - Not exactly what I expected, but it's good.
I was expecting a GREAT book on animation, but it seems a little over-rated to me. I love old cartoons and am enthralled with the golden era, but this book doesn't live up to the 5 star rating for me. I understand it to be historical for an animation book and something that every animator should have for reference. I just don't know if this is the be all end all references for animating. I'm sure it was great for it's time. It is so fun and cute to look at now, but I have learned much more from Richard William's "The Animator's Survival Kit". I won't give up this book, I do love it. I just think it's over rated.
Rating  - Great!!!
Along with THE ANIMATION SURVIVAL KIT and the OZAMU TEZUCA collection ( that are the #1 for really learn animation on the step by step and really detailed explanation and views), this one is the last complement remaining to complete the collection that I already had finished. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS ONE and go and get the ones I mentioned, just after that you will have the complete tutoring, teaching, and best of the best animation books ever NO MORE BOOKS ARE NEEDED after complete this collection I told you!!!
Rating - Simply the Best Drawing Book out there
Since I'm an animation student, I kept thinking to myself, I needed to buy an animation book and I bought this one simply because of the price. This book is a great book for drawing because it teaches one to draw the basic shape of the character first and then add more details and then define the contours last. Whereas most art books especially begining ones will teach one to do a pure contour line drawing.
In addition to learning to draw the characters, this book has animation cycles, timing, and other gesture, and other basics of animation. A book that is so invaluable that this statement is an understatement.
Rating - Great book
This book covers from creation of a character until its 2D animation. A great guide, even to me, a 3D animator student.
Rating - Great basic book for animation
I got this book for my first traditional animation class and have found it to be very useful! Blair explains and shows how to draw actions of both humans and animals in all different types of cycles (walk, run, sneak... etc cycle). A great book to help you get started on learning and understanding animation.
