[Osborn] has over 10 years' experience in various disciplines of animated film-making ... [and] his experience is clearly evident in his writing style and breezy manner as he explains the processes involved. A particular highlight of the book are the interviews that the author has conducted with a number of professional animators ... [and the] added bonus of a companion website ... I really enjoyed the book.
