To sum up, this printing has 180 pages vs the original edition's 128 pages and 439 images vs 232 in the original. Because of the limited print run of the deluxe version (only 250 copies), very few people have seen the extra material. If you…
Dear Darrell,I'm reaching out to you in the hopes of having a dialogue a bit longer than 140 characters. I look to you for your take on the state of animation popularity today; most specifically as it relates/compares to the one-time popula…

Not sure I can enjoy it on NBC given the editing that will be involved. The way TV has betrayed me for a decade now, I feel content with the special being on DVD alone to be happy enough. As I mentioned on Facebook, I think the best thing a…
The book looks amazing! Great information, Darrell, and it appears your benefactors have a bit of the reformed Scrooge in them for financing the project. God bless them, everyone, for allowing this book to happen. And a Merry Christmas to y…
