| The Tarzan Chronicles : 5 of 5 | |

 I'm officially collecting Disney art books, and since I re-watched Tarzan recently, I decided to buy this one next. I can say right away that this may be the best of the bunch - I can't imagine a way to make this book better! It's huge, hardback, has a fantastic feel to it, and every page is bursting with fascinating information and artwork. All of the little details, like using a different texture of paper to start each new chapter, make simply holding and reading the book a joy! The book is organized into five sections, each one using the theme of one of the movie's songs as a structure, which works so well. In addition to a well-written narrative, each page has excerpts from journals kept by the animators, directors, and even Phil Collins that really peek into the frustrations and victories of this incredible creative process. The artwork is amazing, of course, and includes several fold-out pages that are simply beautiful. Everything presented here really instills a respect for the true art of animation, as well as songwriting (lots of interesting scraps of Phil's lyrical attempts are included, too). I really enjoyed my time spent with this book - I'm only sorry I've finished it!
