Caricature of Ward Kimball by Walt KellyDidier Ghez's Disney History site has details of Amid Amidi's biography of Ward Kimball to come out in the latter half of 2012.
"The Kimball family has generously granted me access to all of Ward's personal files, photos and diaries, and I've combined this with new research and interviews to present a thorough celebration of his life that acknowledges his impact on the art form."This is a book I very much look forward to reading.
Gasp!!! I can't wait for it to be published!
ReplyDeleteWho did that caricature?
ReplyDeleteAs the caption states, it's by Walt Kelly.
ReplyDeleteI would be more excited about the book if Canemaker were penning it. I'm not a big fan of Amid.
ReplyDeleteI have read the draft manuscript. It is a fascinating book. Very well written and marvelously detailed. I learned some things in every single page.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I seriously doubt John Canemaker has ever considered writing a Ward Kimball book. There is a pesky tone in all his Disney tomes that suggests a disapproval of Kimball and his style.
