Feeling Animated Bibliography

Welcome to the Feeling Animated bibliography! It’s about time I put this together; you can now access all my book reviews in one handy place. For completion’s sake, I’m going to include my entire animation library, as it currently stands, both reviewed and unreviewed. Then, as new book reviews are added, they will be linked to the appropriate book here. Enjoy!

(Also, here is an excellent article I found recently by Orrin Scott of Cartoon Research, pinpointing the many animation books featured in Disney’s Once Upon a Studio centennial celebration. I had no idea! https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/the-animated-books-of-disneys-once-upon-a-studio/)
