Frog (1957) inspire Steven Spielberg to name a certain adventure hero after a state and an admired animation director?Chuck Reducks also includes informative chronologies, illustrations detailing how characters are drawn and given movement, indepth looks at such masterpieces as What's Opera, Doc? and Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, and practical tips for tomorrow's animators.
