Walt Disney & El Grupo in Latin America - Hyperion Historical Alliance

Description: Walt Disney & El Grupo in Latin America - Hyperion Historical Alliance In August 1941, an unlikely group of travelers left the United States and journeyed to Latin America. The travelers were a group of artists and writers from The Walt Disney Studios, headed by Walt himself, engaged by the U.S. government to conduct a two-month goodwill tour of the region. The party, self-nicknamed "El Grupo," went far beyond its basic diplomatic mission, gathering a wealth of artistic and musical impressions which would later be used to produce new Disney films with a Latin theme.In this sumptuously illustrated Monograph, three Disney historians pool decades of their research to reconstruct a detailed day-by-day account of El Grupo's trip. Drawing extensively upon Disney archival sources as well as the travelers' first-hand accounts, the authors have supplemented the historical record with hundreds of photos, many from recently discovered private collections. In these pages, El Grupo's adventure comes to life once again.After The Making of Walt Disney's Fun and Fancy Free and The Origins of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures, Walt Disney & El Grupo in Latin America is the third volume in the Hyperion Historical Alliance's Academic Monograph Series. Each hardcover volume is profusely illustrated in full color, averaging more than one illustration per page.This book was written by Ted Thomas, director of the acclaimed documentary film "Walt & El Grupo" (2009), JB Kaufman, author of "South of the Border with Disney," and historian Didier Ghez, author of the "They Drew as They Pleased" books and editor of the "Walt's People" series. 8.75 x 11.25 inches, 230 pages, color and black & white illustrations throughout, hardcover.
