Tunes for 'toons Music and the Hollywood Cartoon

"A major contribution to the emerging literature on American animation. In its exploration of animation music, it is without peer. Engagingly written, this is the only book-length study available on the topic, and it offers an important new view on animated film."--Mark Langer, Carleton University"A foundational work in animation and film music studies, and is likely to be inspirational for additional work in both fields."--Jeff Smith, author of "The Sounds of Commerce"Never facilely reductive, Goldmark's analyses of Carl Stalling's well-known populist propensity for non-stop musical quotation and Scott Bradley's brilliant but borderline condescending aspirations to 'elevate' the form are complex and multilayered. As a bonus, Daniel Goldmark complements his scholarly referencing of relevant secondary source material with refreshing (and, these days, quite rare!) forays into original research, unearthing surprising, never-before-seen archival elements."--Greg Ford, Executive Producer, "The Carl Stalling Project"Goldmark, Daniel is the author of 'Tunes for 'toons Music and the Hollywood Cartoon', published 2007 under ISBN 9780520253117 and ISBN 0520253116.
