The Illusion Of Life...

I've started reading this sucker and so far, its been very interesting :)
Back when I was a Digital Animation student at BCIT, I read "The Animator's Survival Guide", which I found to be very technical in its explanation of animation and was helpful when I had to draw walk cycles and "squash & stretch" animation exercises. "The Illusion Of Life" however, tackles more of the intellectual and emotional side of animating, which I find to be super helpful. As an actor, I can really relate to what Walt Disney was thinking in his approach to animating. He found ways to make the cartoons more "real" rather than "noodley". Walt himself was quite the comedian so I've read, acting out all of his ideas. This sounds a lot like the stuff I love doing....
