Disney is responsible for some of the best movies of the past 100 years, and now you can dive into the studio’s history for cheap with The Walt Disney Film Archives (Hardcover). The book features over 500 pages of concept art, essays, and in-depth knowledge about films like Snow White, Fantasia, and The Jungle Book. Typically sold for $30, you can pick it up for just $17.
The book focuses on animated movies produced between 1921 and 1968, so don’t expect to see any modern hits. Instead, you’ll get a deep dive into the films that put the studio on the map.
If you want even more Disney goodness, you’ll find an expanded version of The Walt Disney Film Archives that features over 600 pages and 1,500 images. This edition is arguably the better deal, as it’s on sale for $46 (down from $100)–which is close to its lowest price ever.
