Warner Bros Animation Art is a fantastic book which features artwork, character profiles and many many more wonderful bits of information about the Warner Bros animation. The book doesn't focus only on the Looney Toons, it focuses on all of their creations, such as Tiny Toons, Animatiacs and many spin offs, making this an all around book about the Warner Brothers universe.
The book not only teems with information about the Warners universe, but also has so much art work, concept art and stills from episodes. As I have previously stated, I am influenced greatly by the Warner cartoons, as they have a very distinct wackiness that isn't found in Disney classics. Max the Cat has many things taken from Warner Bros animations, from the aesthetics of the character to how he acts, Max is self aware that he is an animated character, as are the Warner Bros in many of their animated cartoons, especially in Animaniacs and Tiny Toons.
Overall, this book is a brilliant read and I would recommend it to anyone, it has lots of information about the history of the studio as well as the history of the Warner cartoons. The character artwork in the book are brilliant references for Max the Cat and will be useful when I begin production of the animation.
"If the decades and decades of everything that was ever great about the Warner cartoons could be distilled into a single character, it would be Bugs Bunny."
