Discover the secrets behind Fantasia, Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Bambi, seen through the curious lens of early animation’s most enigmatic figure: Herman Schultheis.
A technician at the Disney Studio in the late 1930s, Schultheis kept a covert scrapbook of special-effects wizardry – a private chronicle of smoke, shadow, water, and wonder. In photographs and carefully chosen words, he captured the dazzling ingenuity behind some of Disney’s most beloved films. Then, as if stepping into one of his own mysteries, Schultheis vanished into the Guatemalan jungle, and his notebook was forgotten… along with the stories of how these animated classics came to life.
Part annotated facsimile, part biography of the complicated, overly ambitious man who made it, The Lost Notebook is a treasure for Disney and animation enthusiasts, and a vivid account of one man’s pursuit of greatness in early Hollywood.
