"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The Art and Creation of Walt
Disney's Classic Animated Film is filled with such detail, from the
beginning of production in July 1934 to the completion in December
1937. This beautiful art book is also informative."
*Fred Patten, Animation World Network*
"Author J.B. Kaufman spent years researching the film's history,
interviewing participants and studying the marvelous archival art
that appears in these pages. The result is a work that can be
appreciated equally as a piece of film history and as a collectible
art book, a joy for anyone who loves film, animation and the
magical world that Walt Disney created."
*D23, The Official Disney Fan Club*
"The most surprising thing about the catalog, is that if it had
been handed to me without any hint that that "main book" (The
Fairest One of All: The Making of Walt Disney's Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs) existed, I would have been convinced that this was
the best art-book ever about the movie. That "catalog" is 256-page
long and must contain about 600 illustrations, at least 30% of
which I believe I had never seen before."
*Didier Ghez, Disney History blog*
