First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Ron McCutchan (illustrator). First Edition. [very nice copy, with a tiny ink note at the bottom edge of the front endpaper, but no significant wear to either the book or the jacket]. (B&W drawings) Hilarious anecdotal memoir by a veteran animator and director who went to work for Walt Disney in 1931 and spent 27 years at the studio. His "uncensored anecdotes and lively drawings share a side of the Disney story only hinted at in other accounts." The Foreword is by Leonard Maltin, who praises the book for providing "a sense of the day-to-day reality of life at Disney's." The book is entirely illustrated with Kinney's own drawings, many of which are caricatures of his Disney colleagues -- and of course of Walt himself, who he calls "a genius whose enormous vision was equaled only by the size of his ego.".

Original ink & pencil drawing signed by Disney animation artist Jack Kinney depicting a frustrating day in the life of an artist at work in the Disney Studios. With a printed authentication certificate from Cartoons & Comics of Burbank, CA hand-signed by Howard Lowery, the internationally known Walt Disney and cartoon art expert, authenticating the drawing as Òan original work of art by the distinguished Walt Disney animator and director Jack Kinney. It was created as an illustration for his book ÔWalt Disney and Assorted Other Characters. An Unauthorized Account of the Early Years at DisneyÕ (Harmony Books, 1989).Ó This drawing did not appear in the final published version of the book. Fine condition. In this drawing, one of the Disney animators is sitting at his drawing desk on which is a blank sheet of paper. Crumpled papers and cigarette butts litter the floor at his feet. Overhead a dark cloud rains down upon him while he holds his head in his hands, a glum expression on his face, as he blows smoke through his nose, cigarette dangling from his mouth. The text reads: ÒSome days things donÕt just come easy - or, drawing a complete blank.Ó Jack Kinney (1909 - 1992) was hired by Walt Disney in 1931, the early days of the Depression, to work at the Walt Disney Studio on Hyperion Avenue in East Hollywood. His beginning career includes his work on several shorts, including Santa's Workshop (1932), The Band Concert (1935), and Moose Hunters (1937). He went on to become a director of cartoons, working on the features Pinocchio and Dumbo, but he really shined in the shorts department, where his Goofy cartoons are among the best to come out of the Disney Studios. He received five Academy Award nominations and won an Oscar for the 1943 cartoon ÔDer FuhrerÕs Face,Õ the only Donald Duck film to win an Academy Award. In 1959, Jack left Disney to start (with his brother Dick) Jack Kinney Productions, an independent animation studio. In his book ÔWalt Disney and Assorted Other Characters. An Unauthorized Account of the Early Years at Disney,Õ Kinney recounts the highs and lows of daily life as a member of the creative department at Disney, where the staff referred to themselves as ÔinmatesÕ and the practical jokes and camaraderie provided rich material for the gags and scenes that they created for the screen. Working for Walt Disney could be as inspiring as it could be frustrating and his book presents an insiderÕs perspective with great humor and candor. He puts it best in his introduction: ÒThese are my personal recollections of the Disney Studio where I worked for more than a quarter-century. It is the story of the little people, the strivers, the doers. It is about the pranks, the gags, the human foibles we remember so lovingly, and about the growing pains suffered by all involved. The Golden Age of Animation was a glorious experience.Ó.

With a printed authentication certificate from Cartoons & Comics of Burbank, CA hand-signed by Howard Lowery, the internationally known Walt Disney and cartoon art expert, authenticating the drawing as Òan original work of art by the distinguished Walt Disney animator and director Jack Kinney. It was created as an illustration for his book ÔWalt Disney and Assorted Other Characters. An Unauthorized Account of the Early Years at DisneyÕ (Harmony Books, 1989).Ó This complete drawing did not appear in the final published version of the book, however part of it appears on page 89 as an illustration for an anecdote about Disney story man Honor Brightman. In the full drawing Brightman is wearing only an undershirt and boxers as he excitedly provides the voices of various Disney characters while a man in a radio booth directs him. The gist of the gag was that, in rehearsal for a radio spot, the director convinced Brightman to remove one item of clothing after the next, telling him that the sound quality was being distorted by his clothes. For the published version, we see only the part of the drawing with Brightman in his underwear, holding a script, as he speaks into the mike. Kinney has written ÒTake 97, Roll it.Ó above the director in the sound booth and ÒHi-Ya Minnie, HÕLo Pluto, Arf, Arf, Heh, Heh, Heh.Ó above Brightman. The drawingÕs caption reads ÒAudition.It was a Hot Night.Ó Fine condition. Jack Kinney (1909 - 1992) was hired by Walt Disney in 1931, the early days of the Depression, to work at the Walt Disney Studio on Hyperion Avenue in East Hollywood. His beginning career includes his work on several shorts, including Santa's Workshop (1932), The Band Concert (1935), and Moose Hunters (1937). He went on to become a director of cartoons, working on the features Pinocchio and Dumbo, but he really shined in the shorts department, where his Goofy cartoons are among the best to come out of the Disney Studios. He received five Academy Award nominations and won an Oscar for the 1943 cartoon ÔDer FuhrerÕs Face,Õ the only Donald Duck film to win an Academy Award. In 1959, Jack left Disney to start (with his brother Dick) Jack Kinney Productions, an independent animation studio. In his book ÔWalt Disney and Assorted Other Characters. An Unauthorized Account of the Early Years at Disney,Õ Kinney recounts the highs and lows of daily life as a member of the creative department at Disney, where the staff referred to themselves as ÔinmatesÕ and the practical jokes and camaraderie provided rich material for the gags and scenes that they created for the screen. Working for Walt Disney could be as inspiring as it could be frustrating and his book presents an insiderÕs perspective with great humor and candor. He puts it best in his introduction: ÒThese are my personal recollections of the Disney Studio where I worked for more than a quarter-century. It is the story of the little people, the strivers, the doers. It is about the pranks, the gags, the human foibles we remember so lovingly, and about the growing pains suffered by all involved. The Golden Age of Animation was a glorious experience.Ó.
