Synopsis

Before Ever After is a compilation of never-before-seen lecture notes from classes that were held in preparation for the production of Snow White. Walt knew that to fulfil his once-impossible dream of crafting a feature-length animated film, he had to establish an on-campus art school for his staff. He hand-picked Don Graham to hold classes on entertainment, drawing and acting. Guest lecturers included Frank Lloyd Wright, Dr Boris Morkovin and more. Previously unseen outside of the Disney studios.

Review

PRAISE FOR YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW: DISNEY'S MAGICAL MID-CENTURY

"This feels like the book that many of us Disney aficionados (especially those whose childhoods coincided with the 'fifties and 'sixties) have long been waiting to read. Don Hahn presents a masterly tour of the Disney's futurism as it impacted not just on the creation and development of Disneyland but on film and TV, leisure and hospitality (The Disneyland Hotel, Celebrity Sports Center and the unrealized plans for a Ski resort in the Sierra), education (CalArts, the New York World's Fair and educational films and programmes) and Walt's final bid for a utopian future with the concept of EPCOT."--Brian Sibley, writer, broadcaster, and Disney scholar

Children interested in filmmaking will find this informative, and browsers will enjoy an entertaining backstage tour."--American Library Association Booklist
