Lenburg has really outdone himself 1 March 2009
By Eric Potts -
"The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons, Third Edition" is the best cartoon reference guide hands down! I should know. I own every book Jeff Lenburg has every written on the subject. This one is by far his best and his most thorough. It's updated and expanded. Check out a copy of Lenburg's first "Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoon Series" published in 1981 and you will see what I mean! Animation and grown leaps and bounds since Lenburg wrote his first tome and he has kept in step with it. This edition includes sections on Silent Cartoon Series, Theatrical Sound Cartoon Series, Full-Length Animated Features, Television Cartoon Series, and Animated Television Specials. It is complete. To Jeff Lenburg, I say bravo. Thank you for dedicating so much of your life to this painstaking research so that we, fans of cartoons, can have this ultimate resource.

This a great book for people that love animated cartoons. While I am not an expert in the field, I felt that I got my moneys worth with all of the information about the cartoons that I enjoyed as a kid and am enjoying now it my senior years. I would highly recommend this for someone that wants to know more about the cartoon series that they grew up with.
