The Art of Disney's Dragons


Book Description

Throughout time and across cultures, dragons have existed as part of our collective imagination, breathing fire, guarding treasure, and embodying magic. Some are evil, some are kind, and all are fascinating. The Walt Disney Company has had a long-standing fascination with dragons, and this book, conceived as a sketchbook handed down through generations of Disney artists, chronicles the impact that dragons have had on Disney films, parks, and resorts. Inside these pages are the bold storyboards of Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent, color concepts of Epcot's Figment (who was green before he became purple!), and playful studies of Mulan's Mushu. The illustrators are a wide variety of animators, live-action studio artists, and Imagineers, including Tim Burton, Rolly Crump, Marc Davis, Eric Goldberg, Bill Justice, John Hench, Joe Rohde, Chuck Ballew, and more. Tom Bancroft, who has worked in animation for more than twenty-five years, offers memories and insights from his tenure as Mushu's lead animator, during which he character designed, and later refined, the look of Mulan's feisty little dragon.

Reel Leadership speaks to leaders and movie lovers who want to look at leadership and personal development in a new way.

In this book, you'll read about: David Hayter (the writer of X-Men 1 and 2) and how he dealt with a demanding director on set. Daniel Knudsen and how every great movie should have a moral premise. Marty Himmel and how he overcame fear because of the movies he watched. Through Reel Leadership, you'll discover how movies provide more than just a quick escape. They are powerful tools for communicating leadership principles and how to find their leadership lessons.
