In Oswald The Lucky Rabbit Limited Edition book, written by David A Bossert and published by Disney Editions, readers join in for the search for the lost Disney cartoons art and documents of Oswald.
I really like the design of this oversize, hardbound book. The three-color cover featuring Oswald appears very much like an older bound edition put out about the cartoon’s same time period right down to the choice of type, two-tone background colors and binding with type.
On the back of the book is a montage of Oswald in various poses accented by spot varnish. Overall it makes for a very attractive book.
Inside the front and back inside covers are various penciled renditions of Oswald.
Attached to the inside back cover is an oversize envelope containing six color and black and white recreated sketches, promotional posters, a character sheet and Disney Happy Easter poster from 1982.
The interior text and images introduce the character Oswald and detail his cinematic history.
Images and sketches, along with story synopsis of all original 26 Oswald cartoons are included.
Correspondence, script breakdowns, promotional item reproductions, story layouts, character designs, legal documents, production notes and various other documents make up the balance of the book.
The book contains a remarkable chronicle about the search and successful acquisition of the original Oswald art and documentation.
I especially like the way the book demonstrates the tremendous amount of effort and imagination that went into illustrating and animating each episode.
I recommend this book not only for Disney fans but also for anyone seriously considering animation as a career.
