![]() So this book isn’t exactly the same one which Maurice would have written if he’d completed it, but that’s O.K. Essentially, he put together a jigsaw puzzle for which Maurice had only left a few pieces behind. He also interviewed others who Noble mentored, and quotes extensively from interviews with Maurice (including, I’m honored to say, the one I did). So Tod drew on his own deep knowledge of Maurice’s approach, which he learned as one of the young “Noble Boys” who worked with Maurice at Chuck Jones Productions and elsewhere in the 1990s. ![]() He did provide notes behind which Tod drew on, but they weren’t anywhere near enough to complete the book. It’s not just the best animation book of 2013 it’s among the most memorable ones on the subject, period.īack when I hung out with Maurice - from the early 1990s until a few days before his death in 2001 - he frequently talked about the book which he was going to write. First, an apology: It’s taken far too long for me to shower praise on The Noble Approach: Maurice Noble and the Zen of Animation Design, by my friend Tod Polson.
