Ink & Paint
Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney's Animation | Mindy Johnson
3 posts | 1 read | 8 to read
Established in October 1923, the Ink & Paint Department set up shop at the first Disney studios on Kingswell Avenue in Los Angeles before moving to the Disney Hyperion Studio, and finally to the Burbank Studios in 1940. At the height of production, the staff was comprised primarily of women, numbering more than 250 artists and technicians. Today, this vital division continues with a small number of talented artists who keep the hand-­made magic alive, even with the advent of 3-D animation. In this glossy volume, featuring never-before-seen photos, artwork, and detailed accounts, the process, techniques, and contributions of the women-and men-who defined the Walt Disney Studio's legendary Ink & Paint Department over the years are carefully explored, preserved, and shared for future generations.

I went to Disneyland and knew this book had to come home with me! I love books that have to do with Hollywood and Disney history. Back when women of major studios were only allowed to ink and paint drawings/pictures.

Just want to show everyone that this time I'm not just being dramatic when I say, THIS BOOK IS AS BIG AS MY TORSO. I love that there is a book this massive all about women and their role at Disney, but jeeze. This is a serious coffee table book. #gobigorgohome

This book was a journey, and I loved it! It‘s basically the history of Disney but from the women‘s perspective. It was interesting to see the progress of Disney from the beginning to the late 80‘s/early 90‘s when computers took over. I will definitely be rereading this book later
