Schroeder, Russel. Mulan: Special Collector's Edition. Disney Press, 1998. ISBN 0-7868-3173-1. $16.95. Unpaginated. A 5+ NF Reviewed by Bethanne Andersen You may or may not have seen the movie, but you'll love the story of how an idea is made into an animated feature. Mulan takes you through artistic inspiration, behind-the-scenes of the animation, and tells of the visual development of background scenes and characters. This book shows how new technology is working to bring joy to many. If you are the least bit interested in how things are done and want to see the work required to bring an idea to the big screen, you will love this book. It's better and more informative than the movie. A must for “How is it done?” types of children and adults.
