Two New Disney Books Every Fan Should Own – “Eat Like Walt” & “The Women of Walt Disney’s Animation”

WDWNT on October 13, 2017

Disney and D23 have recently released two new books that should pique the interest of Disney fans that love food and animation, so, basically all Disney fans.

The first book is Eat Like Walt: The Wonderful World of Disney Food, which explores the history behind the various treats and food items available throughout Disneyland. Explore each the park’s six lands and the food items that are associated with each land. Go further into the history of Walt’s experience with food, and learn about the four restaurants that opened at Walt Disney Studios before Disneyland was even built. The book also includes an array of recipes from Walt’s home life, the Walt Disney Studios, and Disneyland.

The second book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney’s Animation, which tells the history of how women helped to create Disney animation by bringing color and depth to the drawings that eventually became the stories we know and love today. The book explores the painstaking work that went into coloring these animations, as well as the future technological advancements in animation that women stood at the forefront of. Ink & Paint includes a collection of archival artwork and photography, as well as production documentation and private works.

Not only can these two books be found at the Disney theme parks (as seen above), you can now also pick up a copy off of Amazon for a fraction of the price. Below is a little bit more about the two books:

Disney Pirates: The Definitive Collector’s Anthology: Ninety years of pirates in Disney feature films, television shows, and parks

 

Disney Pirate History

From the Publisher

Pirates have captured people’s imaginations for centuries, and Walt Disney believed in pirates as a source of great popular entertainment. Walt’s very first all live-action feature film was based upon Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, and even before that, he selected J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, in which pirates figure so prominently, as a key feature-length animated film for his studio. Years later, Pirates of the Caribbean opened in Disneyland just months after Walt had passed away, making it one of the last Disney theme park attractions in which he was personally involved. That attraction ultimately spawned similar versions at Disney parks around the world, one of the most successful series in motion picture history with the five Pirates of the Caribbean films, and a vast themed land at Shanghai Disneyland called Treasure Cove–celebrating the entirety of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

In this book, Mike Wall’ s original illustrations accompany the lyrics of the beloved song. Bring the magic of navigating through the fire lit waters of the pirate-infested Caribbean home.  The included CD featuring “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)” allows you to relive the adventurous attraction time and time again or experience the magic for the very first time as they read.

If you don’t plan on being in the parks anytime soon you can pick up a copy off of Amazon. width=
