A visual delight offering insight into the development of animation classics like Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King (as well as a tantalizing examination of unfinished Disney projects!)

Acknowledged as one of the greats of production design for animation, Bacher has been given unparalleled access to Disney's archives to uncover eye-popping examples of both his own work and that of his colleagues. Beautiful and insightful, this guide offers inspiration to designers in animation, film, and game.

Dream Worlds will be the definitive work on art direction and production design. Bacher covers decades of memorable animated films. There is really no other book like this out there.

I have been lucky to have known Hans Bacher and learned from his genius for over 30 years.
When it comes to color, composition and design, Hans is in a class by himself. Look through the pages of 'Dream Worlds' and be inspired by Hans' high standards and his art. It is a feast for the eyes.
Andreas Deja, Supervising Animator, Walt Disney Studios

Hans Bacher is a rare person - a top of the tree professional artist, production designer, animator, archivist, and generous teacher. Richard Williams, author of 'The Animator's Survival Kit'
