Jeff Kurtti
A lovely reissue of the 1998 Disney Editions art and making of book offers a new generation of coffee table book fans an insider's view into the animated film process of Mulan.
The Art of Mulan was only Jeff Kurtti's fourth published work. He is honored to see this important and significant story in print again for new generations, along with some stunning additional visual development artwork and new foreword by Thomas Schumacher.
Mulan was the first animated feature film to be primarily produced by Disney's animation studio at Walt Disney World in Florida. This was a dazzling array of talented and dedicated filmmakers who specialized in traditional hand-drawn animation. With more than 350 illustrations, The Art of Mulan reveals the story behind the making of the film in this distinct place and time, both of which bridge the Disney animation renaissance of the 1990s and the sensibilities of today's Walt Disney Animation Studios.
