Michael Barrier, the author of Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation In Its Golden Age and a commentary contributor to the new Looney Tunes DVD, offers up his interpretation of long-time Disney artist and imagineer John Hench’s book Designing Disney: Imagineering and the Art Of The Show. Hench was also recently responsible for helping Roy Disney complete the Destino short, which he had started with Walt and Salvador Dali in 1946.

Barrier’s site also contains an artcle on another animator from Disney’s Golden Age, an in-depth interview with Art Babbit, who animated on a number of the classic shorts and features, and was most responsible for shaping the character of Goofy. All are great reads!
