The March Must-Have List

The Art of My Father's Dragon

The Art of My Father’s Dragon
Fans of five-time Oscar-nominated Irish studio Cartoon Saloon were thrilled when another beautifully crafted 2D project took wing on Netflix in November. Adapting Ruth Stiles Gannett’s classic books gave the artists under director Nora Twomey (The Breadwinner) a more contemporary setting than their Irish folklore trilogy, while still presenting a tender story at a refreshingly gentle pace. Author Ramin Zahed takes us behind the scenes to uncover the scaly secrets of the film’s storybook-inspired 2D animation, with lovely imagery and exclusive interviews with Twomey, producers Tomm Moore and Meg LeFauve and more. Producers Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn of Mockingbird Pictures penned the foreword. [Abrams | $45]

Learn how to become a “Master Animator” with this artistic fundamentals-first guide, conceived and honed by veteran animator and instructor Tony White.

Having trained under toon legends like Art Babbitt and Richard Williams, White is an enthusiastic and passionate teacher of the craft, and his latest title is sure to become a classic text alongside The Animator’s Workbook and Jumping Through Hoops.
