Disney – Fantasia 2000: Visions of Hope – Hardcover with deluxe silver slipcase – First edition (1999)

Description:

For the true Disney collector: the rare and monumental art book "Fantasia 2000: Visions of Hope", written by renowned Disney historian John Culhane, with an exclusive foreword by Roy E. Disney.

This grand hardcover book offers a unique, in-depth look behind the scenes at the production of Disney's masterpiece Fantasia 2000. It is filled with stunning, full-page concept art, rare sketches, storyboards, and background stories about the animators and the classical musical pieces (performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by James Levine).
The book features the iconic, glossy silver slipcase (slipcover), which has a reflective effect. Because this silver cover is extremely prone to scratching, undamaged copies are now highly sought after and scarce in the collecting world.
