From the Publisher
Disneyland Paris : From Sketch to Reality" is a beautiful large format art-book - (9
x 12 inches) - hardbound with dust jacket - all-color, 320 pages and 750 illustrations
including 250 concept paintings coming directly from Walt Disney Imagineering!
To state that this book was conceived by park enthusiasts
for other park enthusiasts is weak : the book tells the story of the park's creation,
gives details about the "mythology" of the lands and the attractions and shows
each one under a totally new angle, thanks to both text and photos.
The text, by expert and Disney historian Didier Ghez, was
written after more than 75 interviews were conducted with the most important Imagineers
who created the park.
For each attraction the reader will discover : rare
"never-published-before" concept drawings and paintings, models, photos of
Imagineers at work on the project and a lot of photos of the attraction as it exists today
that will be revealed in the book for the first time. Those 500 photos were selected with
extreme care among more than 2.500 ! In addition, in each chapter a long section is
dedicated to the most popular attractions: 24 pages for "Pirates of Carribean",
14 pages for "Phantom Manor" and "Space Mountain", etc.
"Disneyland Paris : From Sketch to Reality" also
features fantastic views of the park from the sky , all the famous and breathtaking
attraction posters that one can normally see below Main Street railroad station, all the
futuristic posters from Discovery Arcade, all of Marc Davis' drawings created for
"Pirates of the Caribbean", etc.
