Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this a lot! A heartfelt history of a small group of women who made big and often unappreciated contributions to many classic Disney movies.
It had a lot of details about the technical aspects of animation and how they changed through the years, which I found surprisingly interesting.

I listened to this on audio and wow - there‘s a lot I did not know about Disney‘s history. There‘s some shocking stuff in here and also inspiring. So fascinating to see where the company has come from and the huge efforts women had to go to in order to be both recognized and treated fairly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don‘t read a lot of nonfiction. I almost exclusively stick to novels. Yet, once in a great while, a nonfiction work will captivate me. I am currently LOVING The Queens of Animation right now. It is an extremely fascinating look at the history of women artist within the Walt Disney Studios. I highly recommend it.

My new book came in. Hope it's good

A well researched account of women‘s contributions to the Disney empire. Really interesting to see the films they worked on, how the credit system worked, how meetings were run, why certain films got held up, etc. The book also touches on minorities as well. Think this would appeal to anyone interested in women‘s history, the history of film and animation, as well as Disney in general. It touched on a lot of topics without losing focus. Well done.

Random pick from my local library that I ended up loving once I finished it. 💚

This book is well-researched and gives a behind-the-scenes look into the women who helped make Walt Disney successful. Parts of the story frustrated me, reading all the amazing things these women created and yet didn't get credit for, but I'm glad that now their story is being told.

It also checks off Women's Rights for #Nonfiction2020. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Really fascinating - as a long-time Disney fan, I love all the behind the scenes. This is a broadly reaching book that covers the women of the title, but also other racial-minority Disney workers, the history of Disney studios (including financial stuff), how the original animation films were developed, Technicolor, and a shit-ton of other topics. Like the author couldn't decide what to leave out. I skimmed a lot. Still a good read.

Very informative and interesting to hear about this time period and genre! Plus, my friend wrote this so go out and buy a copy :)

A must-read for all Disney fans!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5!! I learned so much and have a deeper appreciation for women in the animation world, it‘s been an uphill battle for them ❤️

Oh, right. This is why I can‘t go to bookstores without a giftcard because I HAVE ZERO SELF-CONTROL!! Thank God for libraries 🙌🏻 One hold came in (tagged book) and 2 more jumped in my arms 😂 Happy Friday & Happy Reading everyone ❤️
