desertcart.com: The Nine Old Men: Lessons, Techniques, and Inspiration from Disney's Great Animators: Lessons, Techniques, and Inspiration from Disney's Great Animators: 9780415843355: Deja, Andreas: Books

Review: The Tenth Old Man Honors The Original Nine - Over the past 25 years we've seen lots of books written by great fans of animation. This is the first done by a great animator who-- as a result of Divine Fate or cocked up luck-- arrived on the art scene just after the Golden Age of animation had sadly ended. Fortunately for us, Andreas sees himself as the chronicler of that great age, the age of the fabulous Nine Old Men. As is the case, I'm sure, with each of Andreas' hardcore fans, my copy of "The Nine Old Men" was pre-ordered the moment I discovered it was available---and I anticipate waiting at the door soon to greet it with the words, "Hello my new friend, welcome to Hawaii." But in the meantime, forgive me for jumping the gun somewhat to review Andreas' book based on the utterly remarkable "See Inside the Book" appearing above. "The 9 Old Men" appears to be a typical Deja production--- and by that I mean, a pure delight. Anyone who has visited Andreas' blog "Deja View" (itself one of the Wonders of the Modern World), knows this man/boy is possessed of the deepest appreciation for 2 dimensional animation ---so deep, in fact, that his live lectures come across as art events themselves ---somewhere in between poetry readings and improvisational theater. All that enthusiasm and affection is present in the pages of "The 9 Old Men" ---the meticulous selection of extraordinary artwork, the heartfelt exposition (spiced with Andreas' clever "asides"), the astute delineation of the process by which drawings are made to move (in both senses of that word). In 100 years, if anyone wonders what that thing called 2 dimensional animation was all about, all they'll need to do is consult this lovely gem of a book. Actually, as I think about it, Andreas has done something more than that. Something more beautiful. I read once that Gustave Dore, interrupted work on his long planned masterpiece, The Veil of Tears, to design a sculpture for the tomb of his friend and hero, Alexandre Dumas ---a magnificent D'artagnan, sword drawn, standing guard over Dumas' soul for all eternity. This is, in essence, what Andreas has done ---delaying completion of his own labor of love, the short film Mushka, to undertake a similar gesture of friendship to departed friends --only he's erected a safe resting place for 9 great souls, not just one.
Review: Perfect - AAAAAAAAAAAA

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Work of the Nine Old Men
*by V***E on January 22, 2017*

The Nine Old Men, the key animators of the 1940's and 50's, continue to inspire many up and coming animators. Andreas Deja, one of the leading Disney animators of the Renaissance era, knew and was taught by most of the Nine Old Men and writes about their careers and contributions to Disney Animation. Unlike Canemaker's earlier book which chronicled the lives of the Nine Old Men, Deja focuses on their skills and animation style while providing many animation sketches of a few scenes from a given film. I love the craft of these animation drawings. For up and coming animators, this should provide inspiration and insight on how to approach various animation aspects. Deja has hinted on writing about the other "earlier generation" of Disney animators (a book that needs to be written) as well as coffee table books on individual animators such as Milt Kahl (which would be a real treat). A great read for animators and Disney enthusiasts.
