In addition to being a great resource, it's a blast to read for anyone who has ever enjoyed an animated show or movie (and that is almost everybody!)." -ANIMATION MAGAZINE
"A perceptive and entertaining work"-ANIMATION WORLD MAGAZINE
"Cartoons have been experiencing a reinvigorating in America for the past 15 years. The Simpsons, South Park, Ice Age, Ren & Stimpy, Finding Nemo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Batman: The Animated Series, to list a few. Yet MAKIN' TOONS is the first real successor in interest to Leonard Maltin's great study of the first 75 years of American animated cartoons, Of Mice and Magic (1987). [. . .] This is the sort of book which, if you love cartoons, you should definitely not pick up and look at in the store unless you are prepared to buy it. Because you will want to."-Ben Varkentine
