"This is a fascinating book! I enjoyed it immensely. It is the best read I have had for some time. Despite the sheer amount of detail it is an easy read. The author clearly knows his stuff and explains it clearly. This reviewer now has a long list of films to watch or in many cases rewatch and they will be seen in a new light. For anyone with an interest in the war movies of the era or those of more recent times this is a must read but beware you too will be drawn to watch again those films you thought you knew so well. I have no hesitation in recommending this to the aficionado and the general reader alike."

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
My daughter and I love Paris and each and every time we go it’s hard to find something new to add to our itinerary. sure, there are many things to do in Paris, but with only so much time in the city of lights, we try to find the most enjoyable things to do and see while we’re there.
This book, however, will add a few stops to our trip this spring. already ordered a copy of this book for my daughter, and I’m looking forward to picking several places to visit while we are in town next. We are going to have so much fun. This book will make a great gift for anyone who loves Paris and movies.

The second half deals with more recent apocalypse, grouped thematically. This is where the author really shines and the chapter format makes an interesting way of viewing trends and continuities in various forms. The star of this book is the zombie chapter that blends history and popular culture in a truly compelling and engaging way.

This was very fun and very fitting considering I just completed another playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 and had westerns on my mind (not a movie I know, but still the same genre). I will be taking the authors movie recommendations into mind and watching them asap. Giving this 4 stars.

Right out of the gate, Kiste makes it known that everything he included came from factual information. I do appreciate a well-researched nonfiction book. I enjoyed the indepth discussion of the creative process and the business dealings that took place to get the first cartoons seen by the public. These behind the scenes details will appeal to anyone who is interested in the early decades of film and Hollywood.
Of course, there is lots of discussion on the making of the earliest (and now classic) full-length animated features: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia and so many more. It was interesting to learn that several films had rough roads to release and that not all were well-received on their first theater runs.
The appendix at the end, summarizing awards nominations and wins, and the many pages of supporting pictures were a welcome bonus to tie the package together.
