Each flipbook features a scene from an animated Disney feature in its original line-drawn form, having been selected from among a wide range of films for great movement and classic characters.

Review:

PRAISE FOR WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS-THE ARCHIVE SERIES: WALT DISNEY'S NINE OLD MEN-THE FLIPBOOKS

"This pet project of UP director Pete Docter is among the more unique book concepts, and pays tribute to the work of the Nine Old Men in the best way possible: by displaying scenes their animation work. Amazingly, none of the Nine Old Men's full animation scenes have been made available to the public before, which makes this both a valuable historical and educational project. There's no better choice than Docter to spearhead the project; he's a big fan of the flipbook format and creates a flipbook ever year as his personal Christmas card.
