3.0 out of 5 stars Not a Lot of Research, and not really about theme parks.

This book is more about a summary of films, with minimal facts. There are other books out there that offer more information and better research. However, it's not a bad starting point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Behind-The-Scenes Tales
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2001
Verified Purchase
This book presents a fascinating glimpse at the making of Disney's animated features,including story changes, bloopers, and theme park attraction tie-ins. My fiance and I are having a grand time looking for the bloopers cited for the various films (e.g., Gaston's disappearing and reappearing musket in "Beauty and the Beast"). I especially enjoyed seeing what original story lines were planned for each feature, and learning what scenes were removed because they didn't work. If you are a fan of Disney's work, you will doubtless enjoy learning how the films might have been different. Even some of the rides at Disneyland have changed in concept from their initial development due to changes in films. A very entertaining read indeed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting glimpse behind the scenes of the masterpieces
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2002
I was surprised to find that Koenig's book details movies all the way up to Tarzan, and even hint at the future with the fact that "Treasure Planet" was planned long ago.
Filled with fascinating behind the scenes glimpses at the production of the movies, along with trivia notes and things to catch, this book makes watching the Disney Animated Features an extra special treat.
You'll learn about the missing songs from the classics, and just how Disneyland and WDW got their famous rides.
Recommended for the Disney phile- particularly those who want to study each film piece by piece now that most of them are available on video.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent book to have in a Disney or Film fan library
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2002
Verified Purchase
This book is filled with lots of trivia and behind the scenes stories on almost every Disney animated film from Snow White to Tarzan. However its writing style has trouble following the format it sets up for itself in sorting its information. It does do a great job on explaining the transistions that occur within Disney and how it translated to its film and theme park work.
I reccomend Koenig's other books "Mouse Tales" and "Mouse Tales 2" which for me were much more enjoyable reads (although are more "gossip" and storytelling based than a history)
