I wasn't even aware of the existence of an animated documentary genre. But because of this book, I was forced to think in the beginnings of animation, in Winsor McCay's Sinking of Lusitania, and to conclude that animated documentaries have always been there. This book is not really about the doc genre history, rather about new examples of the genre (most of them from the 21st century, and about CGI productions).

Interviews with the artists: Yoni Goodman (animation in Waltz with Bashir); Bob Sabiston (creator of the Rotoshop); John Canemaker (The moon and the Son); Marie Joseé Saint Pierre (Femelles); Dennis Tupicoff (Chainsaw); Chris Landreth (Ryan); Paul Fierlinger (Tulip... among many others)

The phrase "independent animation" remit us to unknown movies, low budgets, snob fans but mainly to ignored artist.

That's why this book comes to serve as a look into the beautifull world of personal, outside the mainstream, animation. Introducing us and celebrating the art of extraordinary authors such as: Skip Battaglia; Aaron Augenblick; Chros Landreths; PES (Adam Pesapane); Patrick Smith's; Joanna Priestley; Barry Purves; Michaela Pavlátová's; Théodore Ushev; Bob Sabiston; Bruce Alcock; Konstantin Bronzit; Suzan Pitt; Don Hertzfeldt; Chris Shepherd; Mait Laas; John Canemaker (yes, he is also an animator) and Joanna Quinn.
