Editorial Review:

Product Description:
With Tony Cervone, Director, Warner Bros. Animation

Finally, here is the book everyone has been waiting for--a complete guide to animating in the style of the great Warner Bros. cartoonists. This isn't just a coffee-table showpiece--it's an honest-to-goodness how-to-draw book by Space Jam co-director of animation Tony Cervone. Inside you'll learn all about the entire process of animation and discover all the tricks of the trade for brining those lovable, wacky, Looney Tunes jokers to life!

o Features everyone's favorite characters: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester and Tweety, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, the Tasmanian Devil, and more

o Focuses on the finest techniques of classic animation: stretch and squash, anticipation and the "take," keys and in-betweens, and pose-to-pose as well as straight-ahead animation

o Jam-packed with character art, animator's notes, and tips for drawing heads, hands, and expressions

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - How helpful!!!
When I read this at the library, I knew this book was worth buying. I had started cartoon animation on my cartoon character (named Sam the Fearless Cat), but this book really helped my flat, stiff, animation come to life! Includes model sheets, little animation tricks, plenty of art work (almost like a video), and drawing the looneytunes characters. I highly recomend this book!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is animation!
My main complaint about most books on animation is that they don't really show you the crude nature of the drawings you actually animate with. The Preston Blair book, in most respects my favorite, starts with very worked out structural drawings. But for most of its life, right up until just before clean-up, an animated character is a stick figure based on the line of action with a few swirls to indicate the volumes of head, ribs, etc. This book covers all of those stages very well. And the senior ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - You want to make cartoons?
Anyone who is a fan of animation knows the Looney Tunes. The Warner Bros. animation department developed and created so many memorable characters and cartoons, which have inspired many in the entertainment business.

This book covers many things in a light hearted and enjoyable way and is well worth having in your personal library. The art of hand drawn cel animation is a dying art, in today's production world of computer animation. But the principles of cel animation are important ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If Chuck Jones and Truman Capote had a baby, and that..
...baby was a book instead of a person, then this book would be that baby. Is that right? Yes, yes it is.
You'll find the entire panopoly of Warner characters here,expertly rendered. Cervone is one of the country's finest art mentors,bar none. He actually spent time in IndoChina teaching animation and organic farming to the destitute. His teaching experience shines through.
Cervone's handling of Daffy Duck borrows heavily from Campbell's Transformational Mythology and his presentation ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A really great book for kids who wants to start drawing and animate
This book is really awesome. It has a super-light text and very beautiful drawings and sketches. I just love Looney Tunes since I was a kid.

But be warned: this book is not another Animator's Survival Kit. It is, really, for kids. The coolest thing in the book are the characters charts. Tons of info on how to draw your favorite Looney Tunes characters!
