Seven Minutes by Norman M Klein
From the first talking Mickeys to the demise of Warners and MGM theatrical production in 1960, this text uncovers the links between cartoons and consumer design and fashion, and between cartoons and movies, newspapers, popular illustration and the entertainment architecture of Disneyland.
Norman Klein in his remarkable Seven Minutes: The Life and Death of the American Animated Cartoon has accomplished what is by no means a minor miracle.. the work is erudite, witty, comprehensive and just plain fun. -- Chuck Jones, Animation Director
