The 1981 edition published by Abbeville Press (ISBN 0896592332) used better quality paper and
consequently possessed higher image quality than either the 1988 edition or the revised edition from

In 2013, the book's entire third chapter (which explains the twelve basic principles of animation) was

from Touch Press. All the illustrations were fully animated in the app version, and many parts of the
chapter were annotated with explanatory comments from current Disney animators. [SI[617
