* DisneySchoolOfActingAndMime: Discussed frequently throughout the book. Frank and Ollie make a point that the reason the Disney animators do this kind of acting is because it's simply impossible for animation to match the same level of subtle acting or screen precense as live action, even with tools that closely try to emulate it like rotoscoping, and that it's more sensible to exaggerate rather than directly copy real life.

Additionally, animated characters also feature a limited number of details that can be drawn. Attempting to draw too many details risks making a complicated drawing that is hard to read.

* {{NSFW}}: Fred Moore's nude woman drawings.



* [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Successors]]: Frank and Ollie would author three companion books; ''Too Funny For Words: Disney's Greatest Sight Gags'' (which elaborates on the story and gag process at Disneys, as well as gag techniques), ''The Disney Villain'', and ''Bambi: The Story and the Film''. ''Treasures of Disney Animation Art'' counts as this too, since its loaded with artwork that Frank and Ollie didn't have room to put into The Illusion of Life and even reuses the cover art for Illusion of Life.

->''"This book is about Disney character animation, an art form that created such world-famous cartoon figures as WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse and Creator/DonaldDuck. Disney animation makes audiences really believe in those characters, whose adventures and misfortunes make people laugh—and even cry. There is a special ingredient in our type of animation that produces drawings that appear to think and make decisions and act of their own volition; it is what creates the illusion of life."''
