Synopsis
In this revised and updated edition of Of Mice and Magic , Leonard Maltin not only recreates this whole glorious era from the silent days through the Hollywood golden age to Spielberg's An American Tail , he traces the evolution of the art of animation and vividly portrays the key creative talents and their sutdios.

Drawing on colorful interviews with many of the American cartoon industry's principals, Maltin has come up with a gold mine of anecdotes and film history.
