Dream Worlds is an attempt at being a definitive work for opening out the animation design process. Written by legendary animator Hans Bacher, it features much Disney animation design, but only because this was much of Bacher?s career: No hint of promotional material is in evidence.

This landscape format book is filled with stunning visual scenes from animated films, with minimal explanatory text coming straight to the point without waffle, describing key aspects of the design, the effect strived for, and precisely how they obtained it,

Much of the book is understandably dedicated to cinematography and animation using theatric props. However, even these sections provide insight on how to create an interactive 3D area that achieves dramatic effect almost effortlessly for those entering it, or different approaches to creating a winged avian, that the mind of a visitor will still process as a graceful bird.
