History: Nat Falk's How To Make Animated Cartoons Part Four

This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 8 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great info on the history of animation told through the careers of great animators.



Here is the first half of the last chapter in Nat Falk's "How To Make Animated Cartoons". This section contains a brief article by Walter Lantz dealing with the creation of Andy Panda, and lessons on how to draw animated cartoons. If you missed the first chapter of this rare book and would like to start from the beginning, see... Nat Falk's History of Animation. The rest of the chapters are linked at the bottom of this post.

Thanks to the family of the legendary animator, Carlo Vinci for sharing this great book with us!

Next week will be a busy one! We will be posting the concluding chapter of this book; the Annie Awards are next Sunday, February 11th; and I have two amazing books loaned to us by the family of Clair Weeks to digitize. If anyone is available to volunteer Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, please email me and let me know when you would like to come help out.

Thanks!
