La presente obra se interroga sobre el fenómeno utópico y sobre la estela que ha dejado en el cine. Acuñado por Tomás Moro en 1516, el término "utopía" ha inspirado el arte, la literatura y la música occidentales de todo tiempo y lugar. El ensueño de la sociedad perfecta ha generado una poderosa fascinacion sobre el imaginario colectivo, y esto justifica el interes que el cine ha mostrado por estos paisajes imaginarios, tanto en su vertiente positiva como en la negativa. A traves de sus representaciones cinematograficas, este trabajo define el concepto de utopia y reconoce sus fronteras. Desde la Republica platonica hasta el Walden Dos de Skinner, y desde Shangri-La hasta Tomorrowland, el estudio aborda una completa historia de la utopia tal como ha sido modelada por el cine, pero asimismo traza una pequeña historia del cine a traves de sus concepciones utopicas.

Walt Disney, una de las mentes más creativas del siglo XX, creó un universo imaginario único e incomparable. Como muy pocos otros clásicos del cine, su asombrosa colección de dibujos animados revoluciono el modo de narrar historias en la gran pantalla y ha conseguido seducir a generaciones enteras de todos los lugares del mundo hasta el dia de hoy. Este volumen, una de las publicaciones ilustradas mas completas que se le han dedicado a Walt Disney, presenta cientos de imagenes asi como ensayos de reconocidos expertos sobre Disney y nos lleva al corazon del estudio durante la edad de oro de la animacion. Repasamos toda la trayectoria de Disney desde los tiempos del cine mudo, pasando por su primer largometraje, Blancanieves y los siete enanitos (1937) y Fantasia (1940), hasta sus ultimas obras maestras: Winnie the Pooh y el arbol de la miel (1966) y El libro de la selva (1967). Tras un exhaustivo trabajo de documentacion en el que se ha tenido acceso a las colecciones historicas de The Walt Disney Company, asi como a colecciones privadas, el editor Daniel Kothenschulte ha seleccionado algunas de las pinturas de concepto y guiones graficos mas destacados para mostrar como lograron cobrar vida estas obras maestras de la animacion. Con magistrales y minuciosas ilustraciones sobre celuloide sacadas de escenas de las peliculas mas famosas y imagenes poco conocidas tomadas por los fotografos de Disney, el libro ofrece informacion privilegiada sobre el proceso creativo que se vivia en el estudio.Se dedica un capitulo a cada una de las principales peliculas de dibujos animados que se hicieron durante la vida de Walt Disney, entre las que se incluyen Pinocho, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cenicienta, Peter Pan, La dama y el vagabundo y 101 Dalmatas, sin olvidar joyas menos populares como los cortos experimentales de la serie Silly Symphonies y peliculas musicales por segmentos subestimadas como Musica maestro y Tiempo de melodia. Conscientes de que el estilo Disney fue un proyecto colectivo que debio tanto al maestro como al trabajo en equipo, Los archivos de Walt Disney quiere mostrar su reconocimiento a los extraordinarios animadores y diseñadores que influyeron en el trabajo del estudio, como Albert Hurter, Gustaf Tenggren, Kay Nielsen, Mary Blair, Sylvia Holland, Tyrus Wong, Ken Anderson, Eyvind Earle y Walt Peregoy.
