“Books to Film
the years many children’s books have been made into movies either for the
theater or for television. Clearly the
first and still popular cross overs from book to film have been the classics.
Simply reflect back to Cinderella, Snow White, and The Jungle
Book, which Disney brought to films, to mention just a few. It is also true
that there are many children’s books, which were first in a film version. This is certainly true of the early Disney
movies. For example, “Mickey Mouse,”
“Donald Duck and “Popeye” were all movie shorts before becoming popular books
that were usually sold by mass-marketing.
this exhibit you will find examples of these films and book crossovers and the
interesting differences that take place when the conversion is made.
“Picture Book Development Exhibit”
a picture storybook begins with an idea.
Once the artist solidifies this idea, the process of making a picture
book can begin. Storyboarding,
preliminaries, book dummies and many revisions follow. This exhibit gives us an inside look at the tedious
and laborious process of developing a picture book.
