Disney Dossiers / Jeff Kurtti : 4 of 5
1.04.2007
10:56 PM | Link
I always add a few big Disney books to my Christmas list each year, and Santa always comes through with the goods! Almost anything by Jeff Kurtti is guaranteed to be well-designed and entertaining, and Disney Dossiers is no exception. The premise is that each page is a studio file about a famous Disney character, containing information and photos that you would need if you were to "hire" them for something, which is a little silly. It really doesn't matter though, because there's plenty of beautiful artwork to enjoy, along with some basic facts and filmography notes. There's nothing earth-shattering here for serious fans (although I did learn for the first time that Lilo's last name is Pelekai), but it's still fun to peruse everything and enjoy the vast history of Disney characters. Each file is part of a general group, such as Royalty, Cats, Dogs, and Villains are even divided into an "Extra-Evil" category! Of course, 150-plus pages isn't enough to cover all Disney characters, so it's interesting to see who didn't make it (of course, there's only one from Atlantis!). I really enjoyed taking this book in, so I think it's a nice addition to anyone's "beautiful Disney book" library.
