* HypeBacklash: Despite its praise, there are some animation fans, historians, and animators (such as Michael Barrier) who have criticized the book for claiming that only Disney could produce convincing character animation during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, and no other studio succeeded in doing so. These critics point out that many of the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, Creator/FleischerStudios, and WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry shorts from the time are just as critically-acclaimed as the Disney animated films, and go on to accuse the book of being [[BiasSteamroller biased toward Disney]] as opposed to helpful animation advice.
