Recommends it for: blitheness fans
Lots of bang-up information, character sketches etc. I call back it is a must read for anyone who grew upwardly watching the classic Looney Tunes shorts on TV or even in the theater.

A pesar de tener en el título "The Art of Warner Bros. Blitheness", este no es estrcitamente un libro de arte. Si, buena parte de las páginas están repletas de concept arts, fondos y capturas de los cortos animados de la Warner (que resultarán apasionantes para los fans de la animación, como yo), pero a la vez contiene una cantidad de texto muy respetable, dividida en 3 partes:

A pesar de tener en el título "The Art of Warner Bros. Blitheness", este no es estrcitamente un libro de arte. Si, buena parte de las páginas están repletas de concept arts, fondos y capturas de los cortos animados de la Warner (que resultarán apasionantes para los fans de la animación, como yo), pero a la vez contiene una cantidad de texto muy respetable, dividida en iii partes:

-United nations prólogo de Ray Bradbury, seguido de la historia del estudio. Casi medio libro es la historia de los estudios de animación, con pequeñas fichas de los directores mas importante. Es un recorrido con united nations detalle bastante decente y da una visión de conjunto francamente buena.
-Los personajes: Cada personaje icónico del estudio tiene una sección, con su historia, diseños y una selección de "mejores cortos".
-United nations listado de todos los cortos del estudio ordenados cronologicamente.

Es un libro de 1988, y como tal, acaba bastante antes de lo que a uno le gustaría. Parece estar muy bien documentado, aunque siendo de ese año muy posiblemente tenga algunas cosillas erróneas aqui y allá.

Pero en general, united nations libro excelente si interesa el mundillo de la animación.

The ultimate bible to Warnes Brothers Blitheness. It'southward got a groovy historical breakdown, bios of the major players, and tons of behind the scenes sketches and layouts. The 2d half is broken downwards by 'Graphic symbol' which fabricated me a fiddling weary at first, but it's actually comprehensive creative histories of how the characters came to be and where they ended up.

Criminally out of print.

iii.5-4 stars.

This is truly almost Warner Bro'due south animation. Not the studio heads, not the line artists, not the animators, not annihilation contemporary (save tie-ins with WWII). The book is both a reference and enjoyable for someone who loved and lived those heyday WB cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s.

For someone who has the Looney Tunes "Golden Collection" and has watched all of them, this was conspicuously informative. This is a 100- or 200-level college course, basically on the history of the studio and information technology

iii.v-4 stars.

This is truly about Warner Bro's animation. Not the studio heads, non the line artists, not the animators, not annihilation gimmicky (save necktie-ins with WWII). The volume is both a reference and enjoyable for someone who loved and lived those heyday WB cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s.

For someone who has the Looney Tunes "Golden Collection" and has watched all of them, this was clearly informative. This is a 100- or 200-level college course, basically on the history of the studio and its characters. You larn where Porky, Daffy and Bugs come from, and who drew them.

Readers will also - even if they think they've seen everything - discover something in the book that they had no idea existed. In some cases, it is considering the reels were lost; in others, Warner Bros. or the electric current rights-holder has kept them off the airwaves. "Coal Blackness and de Sebben Dwarves" was the big one for me and yes, it is exactly what information technology sounds like.

The book does a dandy job of explaining not just the history, just the technical aspects and improvements, likewise as the lengths to which animators went to inquiry, layout, and animate a story. The same "Coal Black" involved visiting actual jazz clubs of the era and getting performers on lath. Nosotros are all aware of some of the treatments of "classical" music (Bugs dressed equally Brunhilde, Bugs conducting the orchestra until the whole matter collapses, etc), only may not realize just how much work was in there.

The big takeaway for me was that these sort of cartoons as weekly Sabbatum morning fare will never happen again, as they were originally "mini movies" shown with feature films in theaters, and carried advisable budgets. With the exception of large-named back projects like "The Animaniacs" (which was written after this book was published), children's television animation may never see something as robust and well-written every bit those classic WB cartoons of the 40s-60s.

Pick upwardly the book and notice a cartoon y'all never knew. Have the Internet handy, equally you will want to expect all of these cartoons upward!

While you lot'll find more than detailed data elsewhere, the author does a pretty good job of providing some context and historical insight into the evolution of the Looney Tunes, the creation of the major characters, and the personalities behind the scenes. Where this book really shines, though, is in the many beautiful and hard-to-find sketches and animation artwork prominently on brandish. It'due south a gorgeous book!
