(insert Lion King opening chant here) Hi friends. My name is John Axtell.

Just like so many of you out in the great wide somewhere, I love Disney. I love how the characters, films, and Parks "bring  joy and inspiration to all the world." 

I started this project to not only express my adoration for Disney, but also push myself as a writer and particularly as an artist. Let's just say this project is to me as tower walls were to Rapunzel. Every so often, I’ll unveil a book themed around or written by a character from an animated Disney movie. Accompanied by a sample from the book, it’s a fun way to capture the essence, magic, history and little details from these beloved stories. I intend to write and design a book for each of the animated Disney films, so with 60 and counting, it is going to be quite a magic carpet ride. ENJOY!
