Walt Disney's Bambi - Pierre Lambert's latest Disney Animation art book following Sleeping BeautyThe Jungle Book, and Snow White.

Like those volumes, this volume is licensed only for France and will never appear in print in English. So the text is in French; however, anyone ordering this book from Stuart Ng Books will receive our exclusive English language translation booklet, illustrated with five unpublished deer movement studies by Rico Lebrun!

Our shipment is currently on a boat crossing the Atlantic and we expect it to arrive the first week of January 2018.

Take a look at our Bambi page to see 17 page spreads and a video of Pierre flipping thru the entire book!

Walt Disney's Bambi


I saw Don Hahn at the Disney Feature Animation this week and he was kind enough to sign his brand new book for us. Don is a producer (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Maleficent), director (Waking Sleeping Beauty), and writer of seven books.

Yesterday's Tomorrow: Disney's Magical Mid-Century - Don's latest book is is a collection of beautiful mid-century design work for Disney's animation and live-action films, theme park, television, space documentaries, the World's Fair, and more! Including: Mary Blair; Tom Oreb; Eyvinde Earle; John Hench; Walt Peregoy's color concepts for 101 Dalmations; Polish designed posters for Disney films; concept art for Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom; 20,000 Leagues under the Sea; Disneyland; architect Welton Becket; and more.

Yesterday's Tomorrow


Tale as Old as Time: The Art and Making of Beauty and the Beast - Signed by the author Charles Solomon and by Don Hahn, producer of both the animated and live action versions of Beauty and the Beast. This book covers the making of the 1991 animated feature Beauty and the Beast in depth, devoting three-quarters of its pages to the animated film. This 2017 revised edition has 48 additional pages devoted to the live action version currently on Netflix.

Tale as Old as Time


Art of Wakfu Season 3 - This hardcover French animation art book is in the familiar Disney/Pixar format, 208 pages, over 250 color illustrations, and fully bilingual in English and French. Wakfu Season 3 will be available on Netflix April 2018.

We also have some of the earlier out-of-print Making of Wakfu Artbooks also fully bilingual in English and French.

Art of Wakfu Season 3


Générations Science-Fiction: De Flash Gordon à Matrix - a beautifully photographed collection of Sci-Fi movie production and advertising original art and screen used props, from the seventies to the present. It has never been published in English, but the text is minimal and each picture is worth a thousand words.

Science-Fiction


Star Wars, Objets du Mythe - an incredible collection of Star Wars production and advertising original art and screen used props, beautifully photographed. It has never been published in English--and probably never will--but the text is minimal and the illustrations are the draw here.

Star Wars, Objets du Mythe

SNB at CTNX 2017 -- UPDATED 12.17.17

Stuart Ng Books was inside the big tent for  CTNX 2017. Here's the map for the convention grounds at the Marriott hotel...
And a view of the tent exterior, with the line of attendees just prior to opening. SNB was at the show all three days. I was only able to attend on Sunday this year, so not as many pics here on the blog.
Here are some views of the set-up for the SNB booth:


The booth during show hours...


 Some of the other booths inside the tent...


Terryl Whitlatch signing her new book at the Copic Marker booth...



Some views from the outdoor drawing workshops and activities...




 CTNX at night (sorry these pics are blurry)
 



 This year there were attendee wristbands for access to the different programs...


Here's a video I found on You Tube with more views of the 2017 show...



UPDATE 12.17.17
