	MichaelBarrier.com -- Commentary: Canemaker's McCay
		John Canemaker's Winsor McCay: His Life and Art is probably the best biography of a cartoonist ever written, and is surely one of the best dozen or so books on comic art ever written.
		John Canemaker's text is that great (and most welcome) rarity, a genuine work of scholarship about a cartoonist.
		I wish that Canemaker could have stepped back a little and made a searching comparison of McCay's work with that of his contemporaries as animators and comic-strip artists, but I can understand why he could not put that kind of distance between himself and his subject.

	Entertainment Geekly: Marching to a Different Toon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The release of a collection of the short movies of John Canemaker, Marching to a Different Toon, is something of a major event in animation circles, and Milestone are much to be congratulated for it.
		One of Canemaker's most famous shorts, this is based on sections of impromptu monologue by actress Diane Gardner, discussing her dreams of future glory and her past.
		As an aside, one does wonder if Canemaker had to pour copious quantities of booze into Gardner before she performed the monologue for him, because some of her admissions about herself are far from flattering; it is a tribute to her that she didn't demand the erasure of the soundtrack the morning after.

	DVD Verdict Review - John Canemaker: Marching To A Different Toon
		What you may not know is that Canemaker is an accomplished artist in his own right, with a varied body of work that displays a deceptively naïve quality, reflecting the freewheeling dreams of his subjects.
		Canemaker shows his knowledge of animation history in his range of styles: he can shift from high detail to abstraction, always with an eye to what is best suited to the material he is translated to screen.
		Canemaker provided the powerful animation for that short (excerpts are included on this disc), as well as presentations on stress management ("Laughter Is Good Medicine"), Cold War fear ("What Do Children Think Of When They Think of the Bomb?") and even the title sequence for the science segments on the PBS show 3-2-1 Contact.

		What you'll really appreciate about Canemaker's methodical approach here is how thoughtfully layered his writing is. He is literally assembling a giant jigsaw puzzle of information for you - to which he then weaves in some of the stories of the other major talents at the studio, such as the very sad Freddy Moore saga.
		Canemaker unearths some remarkable new information on these people never before seen anywhere, even in many unofficial accounts of the period that have been published in the past.
		Canemaker deserves kudos for boldly navigating the public relations waters with this project, all in the cause of finally enlightening the public to the key personalities and their relationships behind the scenes that made the Disney animation style such a standard bearer.

	MichaelBarrier.com -- Commentary: Books by Richard Williams and John Canemaker
		Canemaker teaches at New York University, but his writing is mercifully free of the vices that afflict most academic writing about animation.
		Canemaker’s writing is, by contrast, solidly grounded in research of the kind that most other academics shun.
		Not only is Canemaker a good researcher, but he writes about his subjects with real enthusiasm for their work and real affection for most of them as people.

		John Canemaker has the rare gift of bringing the human side of great animation to life.

	VHS : John Canemaker - Marching to a Different Toon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The visual diversity of these striking personal films reflects John Canemaker's encyclopedic knowledge of animation history: the artist-author draws on the work of John and Faith Hubley, Oskar Fischinger, the National Film Board of Canada, and the Disney tradition of character animation.
		He employs similarly mixed media to explore the stream-of-subconscious ramblings of wannabe performers in 'Confessions of a Star Dreamer' and 'Confessions of a Stand-Up.' 'Bridgehampton,' an evocation of the changing seasons, is a genuine rarity--an independent film the viewer wishes was longer.
		Canemaker is best known for adapting the look of children's artwork, which he uses to heartbreaking effect in two moving clips from the special 'Break the Silence: Kids Against Child Abuse.' Unrated: Suitable for ages 10 and older.

	[The Burrow News] - Issue 91 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Even in his harsher analysis of temperaments and turmoil the author is writing about the best of times among a group of very real artistic heroes who were such extraordinary people that you'd have treasured any time you could have spent in their company.
		Canemaker is both the obvious choice and greatest risk for authoring this important animated version of "The Lives of the Artists" (Cainmaker states it was his hope to emulate Vasari's work) as he is admittedly very close to two of his subjects - animators and authors Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston.
		The fact that the dead can't defend themselves even through living relatives and numerous ex-wives is a minor and admittedly unavoidable flaw, and in his preface Canemaker attempts to acknowledge it with a quote from a letter from Thomas to the author re undertaking the project.

	Felix: The Twisted Tale of the World's Most Famous Cat
		Canemaker also sheds a lot of light on just why Felix's stardom ended so abruptly, which happened for a number of legal, financial, and box-office related reasons.
		Canemaker takes a fairly benign view of the unusual Sullivan-Messmer relationship - brash Sullivan marketing the character and taking most of the money and all of the glory for himself, shy Messmer doing the creative work for little pay and no credit.
		Canemaker is better than anyone else at taking a murky topic from the early days of comic art or animation, then coming up with important facts, photos, and artwork relating to the topic that have never seen print before.

		Set within the context of six decades of American cultural history, the film looks at the careers of Academy Award-winning animators John and Faith Hubley, at their effort to remain independent in a field that is largely commercial, and at their unique contributions to the development of animation as an art form.
		The film examines John's role in the 1941 Disney Studio strike, and the eventual political fallout that participation in the strike had on the careers of many of the artists who took part in it.
		As animation historian John Canemaker has written: "This 'happy accident' graphic style forces audiences to 'fill in the spaces' of what is not seen by using their imaginations."
