Charles Solomon’s The Disney That Never Was opens a secret vault inside Walt Disney Company animation, revealing the stories and art of decades of unproduced projects that never reached the screen. This lavishly illustrated 1995 hardcover is a treasure for Disney collectors, animation students, and anyone who grew up on bedtime stories and nursery rhymes.
Packed with rare concept sketches, color storyboards, and insider notes, the book traces abandoned features and shorts from the 1930s onward, making it an essential history of what might have been. Clean pages and tight binding mean every detailed image is ready to inspire young adults and adult fans alike.
Former library copy shows light cover scuffing, inner stamps, and occasional page-edge rubbing, yet remains crisp and un-dog-eared from a smoke-free home. A sturdy addition to any antiquarian & collectible shelf or Disney-themed library.
