Featured in the Animation World Store this week: Cartoon Charlie: The Life and Art of Charles Thorson:


In Winnipeg and Icelandic communities around the world, Charlie Thorson is
renowned as the romantically-smitten artist who designed Walt Disney's Snow
White to look like his Icelandic girlfriend. He's also known as the
talented scoundrel who designed and named Bugs Bunny. In fact, Thorson
created more than one hundred cartoon characters, and worked on dozens of
animation classics while employed in Hollywood during the golden age of
animation. This beautifully illustrated book depicts the colorful,
adventurous life and work of this major Canadian artist whose restless
spirit took him from Winnipeg to Chicago, and from Los Angeles to Miami to
New York. Cartoon Charlie is available for sale at $29.95 plus $5.00 for
shipping/handling.
