How to Cheat in Maya XXXX: Tools and Techniques for the Maya Animator Book

I was a disappointed with this book. It was basically just a plot synopsis of all the Disney and other children's movies since Snow White, with general commentary about themes, etc. Then at the end he basically says that all these movies have different themes which may or may not be obvious to children, and it's the parent's responsibility for bringing some of these other messages to their attention. So while he did raise some interesting points about Disney, their competitors, and the movies in general, and I did learn some things about the current players and how they started out, it really didn't give me much in the way of new information, and I have a hard time figuring out the point of the book. All in all I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're interested in knowing the plots of all the movies without needing to watch them.
