Editorial Reviews

"A fine, well researched book, full of details about the making of each animated feature. The author has a nice light writing style and his book is quite entertaining."

ASIFA International Film Association

"An exceptionally well organized historical compendium of Disney's animated movies. (Koenig) has uncovered a wealth of material about the planning of Disney movies through extensive interviews, mostly with former Disney animators, story writers, and song writers."

Jerry Hirsch

"Ever since Walter Elias Disney introduced the first animated feature film and the first theme park, competing companies have tried–and consistently failed–to match the popularity and quality of Disney's creations. The reasons are well defined in 'Mouse Under Glass.'"

John Austin

"Disney books tend toward shameless promotion or intractable hostility, so a critical but fun examination of the mouse empire is welcome. Consider this a must for Disneyphiles."

Mike Tribby

"Any Disney buff will love this book."
