    Autore: Garry Apgar
    Pubblicato da Walt Disney Family Foundation Press
    Anno di pubblicazione: 2015
    Lingua: inglese
    Specifiche: cartonato, 336 pagine

    ISBN-13: 978-1616286729
    Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit tells the compelling story of how Walt Disney’s beloved graphic alter ego, the most enduring pop icon ever created, was born, how it soon took on a life of its own, and — as an often politically charged symbol of America — became an instantly recognizable figure virtually everywhere on earth.

    It is the first illustrated “biography” and pop culture study of the diminutive cartoon star whose unprecedented success laid the foundation for everything the Walt Disney Company has achieved over the years.

    Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit chronicles the life and times of Disney’s cheerful signature character, beginning with his lively syncopated debut in 1928 in Steamboat Willie at the tail end of the Jazz Age and into the Depression, and traces his impact on the realms of high art, literature, even politics — in peace and in war — both in the United States and abroad.

    With over 300 images — many rarely or never before seen, most in full color —, Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit is a worthy companion to Christopher Finch’s classic volume, The Art of Walt Disney. Join Garry Apgar and The Walt Disney Family Foundation Press for a fascinating look at the multiple ways Walt Disney’s iconic Mouse has impacted our lives, individually and as a society.

    For the first half of the twentieth century, the artist Fortunino Matania captured some of the world’s most memorable and iconic moments. From the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 to the coronations of three British monarchs, this Italian-born illustrator recorded almost every major event as ‘special artist’ for popular illustrated magazine The Sphere. The apogee of his prolific output was during the First World War when he produced paintings on a weekly basis, recording in breathtakingly realistic detail the multifaceted nature of the conflict and often visiting the front in order to gather material for his pictures.

    The breadth and quality of Matania’s work takes in scenes of trench life, the war at sea, the heat of battle and the war effort at home. Meanwhile, his most famous picture, ‘Goodbye, Old Man’, quickly became one of the most emotive images of the war. Admired by some of the finest artists of the period, and familiar to millions around the world, over 100 of Matania’s pictures are brought together for the first time in this compilation, introducing the power of his work to a new generation to mark the centenary of the First World War

    From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award(R)-winning director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc., Up) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney*Pixar's original movie Inside Out, he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all--inside the mind. Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school. In this groundbreaking and illuminating film, Pixar Animation Studios examines the extraordinary depths of the mind and the powers of emotion and imagination. The Art of Inside Out provides an exclusive look into the artistic exploration that went into the making of this vibrant film. Featuring concept art--including sketches, collages, colour scripts, and much more--and opening with a foreword by actress Amy Poehler and introduction by the film's writer and director Pete Docter, this is the ultimate behind-the-scenes experience of the making of this landmark film.

    Tarzan on Film is the result of two decades of exhaustive research on the 98-year ape man cinema canon, one of the greatest and most enduring series in motion-picture history. The 1918 release of the silent-film blockbuster Tarzan of the Apes launched one of history's longest-running and most successful film franchises. Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' pulp-fiction hero, the tale of the infant orphaned in Africa and raised to manhood by apes has been explored in more than 50 films and seven television series. Writer and historian Scott Tracy Griffin traces the series' development, from the motion-picture industry's early silents and serials, through the high point of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer era featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, to modern worldwide hits like Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and Walt Disney Studios' animated Tarzan.
