A Celebration of Animation: The 100 Greatest Cartoon Characters in Television History

It’s a good book but labeling cartoons on a tier list is a very bad idea

Well written and researched, with a lot of very nice pictures, but the layout should have been better. There is far too much white space, partly because some of the images are too small. My main problem with this book is that there are OVER 30 character photos missing!!! For example, pages 140 through 170 are completely without pictures! So are pages 147 through 164! Surprisingly, a few of the absent Toons are Foghorn Leghorn, Mojo Jojo, Quick Draw McGraw, Porky Pig (!), Jonny Quest, Donatello (of TMNT) and Skeletor! Overall, the Photo Editor did a really crappy job, and there is no excuse for this. There are plenty of stock photo agencies throughout the United States, and there should have been photos included of EVERY character!

This book is one to read if you are looking for something fun and quick to read. Author does a great job at making this a breeze to read.

I liked it!

looking inside

Good

This is not based on actually rankings or ratings or based on any reality. It is missing critical characters such as Goofy, but has characters such as Cartman are? Really? Blue from Foster's? Come on! Some are good, but there are really random and vastly unknown ones and lacking truly famous ones. Really? Not good, not worth it, do better.

I didn’t pay much attention when I was buying the book and is not a book I would buy if if I had a look at it before. Everything is glossy and well choose but I was expecting something else, my bad. The only thing I don’t like and is not the authors fault just they for sure didn’t have the rights or authority to put the picture of more than15 of the characters on the list, but anyway the info is good and always can be looked up online. I am giving it as a present to a friend.

I am disappointed. I thought there would be lots of nice graphics but there may have been one of each character & graphics were poor quality. They just look like graphics downloaded from the internet. There is lots to read about the cartoon characters in this book but I didn’t read it because that’s not what I was looking for. I am so glad I only got the kindle version instead of the more expensive hard copy. Definitely not worth more than $5 & that’s for a hard copy.

Full of interesting information. Wish it had more images
