Reviews

Dream Worlds will be the definitive work on art direction and production design. Bacher covers decades of memorable animated films. There is really no other book like this out there.
Nancy Beiman: Animator, Director, Character Designer, Author & Professor

I have been lucky to have known Hans Bacher and learned from his genius for over 30 years.
When it comes to color, composition and design, Hans is in a class by himself. Look through the pages of 'Dream Worlds' and be inspired by Hans' high standards and his art. It is a feast for the eyes.
Andreas Deja, Supervising Animator, Walt Disney Studios

Hans Bacher is a rare person - a top of the tree professional artist, production designer, animator, archivist, and generous teacher. Richard Williams, author of 'The Animator's Survival Kit'

"Dream Worlds is a must have for its visuals alone - I can only describe them as gorgeous." .. World Animation Journal
