Review: The Disney Films

User Review  - Cole Millions - Goodreads

Excellent. A extremely thorough overview of the films that Walt Disney made himself. Although I hoped it would go into the films after he passed away a little more, this book is excellent! Read full review

Review: The Disney Films

User Review  - Lyn - Goodreads

Great! Describes all the Disney films - animated and live action, full length and shorts - until 1967. Also lists the contests of the Sunday Disney TV show from 1954-1967. I hadn't realized Disney's film catalog was so large. Read full review
