The Art of The Lion King : 2 of 5

I bought this book to add to my collection of Disney art books, but unfortunately I didn't realize that this was a "Disney Miniature" edition. This means the book is really small (smaller than a paperback), but still hard bound and printed on quality paper, which is nice. The artwork is really beautiful (even though very small), but I have two problems with the book. First, there are far too many production stills - I like seeing them, but it's much more interesting for me to see development sketches and backgrounds! Second, the text of the book is just a telling of the story - there is no material about the making of the movie, just the tale itself. It was still enjoyable to read and look at the artwork, but it has none of the majesty of the other Disney art books I've been collecting. I believe they published the same book in a larger format, but without any meaty text, there's no need for me to buy the bigger version. Oh well, there are plenty of other wonderful art books for me to buy!
