From Ariel to Moana, discover the visionary filmmaker behind 45 magical years of Disney animation, featuring more than 1,000 pieces of full-color archival artwork and photos.

Ron Clements is a key filmmaker (along with co-writer and co-director John Musker) responsible for some of the most beloved animated Disney movies, including The Fox and the Hound, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and The Princess and the Frog, among others.

Now he shares behind-the-scenes stories, animation Easter eggs, and fun facts from his 45 years at Walt Disney Animation Studios, including:

  • People who directly worked on & influenced the films
  • Research trips and selection of artists, voice cast and songwriters in preparation for the films
  • Screenwriting, character development and world-building processes
  • From storyboards, technical innovations, voice recording and animation to final frames
  • Early screenings (reaction to feedback and resulting changes)
  • Press tours, debuts, receptions, awards seasons and growing the Disney legacy
