"Throughout time and across cultures, dragons have existed as part of our collective imagination, breathing fire, guarding treasure, and embodying magic. Some are evil, some are kind -- but all are fascinating. The Walt Disney Company has had a long-standing fascination with dragons, and this book -- conceived as a sketchbook handed down through generations of Disney artists -- chronicles the impact that dragons have had on Disney films, parks, and resorts. Inside these pages are the bold storyboards of Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent, color concepts of Epcot's Figment (who was green before he became purple!), playful studies of Mulan's Mushu, and production poses of Elliot from 2016's Pete's Dragon, directed by David Lowery. The illustrators -- a wide variety of animators, live-action studio artists, and Imagineers -- include Tim Burton, Rolly Crump, Marc David, Eric Goldberg, Bill Justice, John Hench, Joe Rohde, Chuck Ballew, and more."--Back cover.
