An exciting look at the film that launched the Disney Renaissance Pulling a Rabbit Out of a Hat makes a significant contribution to the fields of animation history, Disney history, and film history. The research that Anderson conducts is in-depth, original, and all-encompassing. His whole book covers ground that has mostly never been covered before. (Didier Ghez, author of Disneyland Paris: From Sketch to Reality; Disney’s Grand Tour: Walt and Roy’s European Vacation, Summer 1935; and of the They Drew as They Pleased book series) Pulling a Rabbit Out of a Hat is very impressive in its scope and thorough coverage of the making of the Roger Rabbit film, its evolution, and its aftermath in terms of sequels, theme park adaptations and merchandise. For anyone interested in this story, everything he/she could possibly want to know is in this book! (Don Peri, author of Working with Disney: Interviews with Animators, Producers, and Artists)
