14072501New York: Stewart Tabori & Chang 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Johnston Ollie and Thomas Frank. Quarto size 208 pp. signed by Ollie Johnston Frank Thomas Marc Davis and Maurice Noble. Both the book and the companion flip book are signed by animators Ollie Johnston Frank Thomas Marc Davis and Maurice Noble. Johnston Thomas and Davis were three of Walt Disneys' "Nine Old Men" and Marc Davis developed and animated the characters of Bambi and Thumper. Maurice Noble was with Disney Studios for the early part of his career and worked on the development of the Bambi film. <br/><br/>Who amongst us has not either read the book by Felix Salten published in the 1920s or seen the film done in 1942 As the authors wrote "From the start 'Bambi' was a very different picture. It had a fantasy and reality all its own separate from Walt Disney's other films. This was no imaginary forest that one could enter and leave at will. Whoever ventured in became part of an experience so strong that neither heart nor mind could ever forget its impact". <br/><br/>This book bridges the worlds between the book and the film and invite us into the world in which the authors and animators worked and lived every day: how to bring the magic of the book and the story onto the big screen. Apparently Walt Disney himself envisioned such a book for the authors dedicated the book to him with the following words: "We dedicate this book to Walt Disney who asked for it fifty years ago.Sorry Walt - you always said we were slow".<br/><br/>We are offering this set together as they were originally sold and as they were meant to be with both the Flip Book and the standard volume. BOTH VOLUMES ARE SIGNED BY ALL FOUR ARTISTS. The companion Flip Book displays short animation sequences for Bambi Ollie Johnston Thumper Frank Thomas Friend Owl Eric Larson and Bambi as the grown buck Milt Kahl.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: BAMBI - red cloth boards with title embossed on the front silver lettering on the spine pictorial endpapers etchings of Bambi's head four artist's signatures on the half-title page pictorial frontispiece title page in royal purple and black with small vignette of Bambi and Thumper the volume is replete with vintage photographs drawings and etchings.
