Quarto size 208 pp. signed by Ollie Johnston Frank Thomas Marc Davis and Maurice Noble.

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.
