In the words of Walt Disney, "Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive." Part biography, part history, part artistic commentary, this volume looks at several major figures in the field of animation and discusses how their contributions to the art of animation have affected the course of the industry--and in many cases, had a direct effect on popular culture as a whole. These gifted artists are divided into several classifications: Idealists (Art Babbitt, John Hubley); Mavericks (John Kricfalusi, Terry Gilliam); Technicians (the Fleischer Brothers); Influences (Frank Tashlin, Matt Groening, Ray Harryhausen, Ed Benedict); Trailblazers (Lotte Rieniger, Lillian Friedman); Teller of Tales (Henry Selick); Teachers (George Newall, Tom Yohe, the FMPU); and Storytellers (Joe Grant, Bill Scott, Michael Maltese). Each animator is represented by a list of his or her key films and awards.

用沃尔特-迪斯尼的话说，"动画可以解释人类头脑所能想象的一切"。本书部分是传记，部分是历史，部分是艺术评论，探讨了动画领域的几个主要人物，并讨论了他们对动画艺术的贡献是如何影响这个行业的进程的--在许多情况下，对整个流行文化产生了直接影响。这些有天赋的艺术家被分为几个分类。理想主义者（Art Babbitt、John Hubley）；特立独行者（John Kricfalusi、Terry Gilliam）；技术员（Fleischer兄弟）；影响者（Frank Tashlin、Matt Groening、Ray Harryhausen、Ed Benedict）；开拓者（Lotte Rieniger、Lillian Friedman）；故事讲述者（Henry Selick）；教师（George Newall、Tom Yohe、FMPU）；和讲者（Joe Grant、Bill Scott、Michael Maltese）。每位动画师都有一份他或她的主要影片和奖项的清单作为代表。
