		Leonard Maltin, though not as well known as Roger Ebert, certainly ranks as one of the United States' more important and renowned movie critics and has written extensively about almost every aspect of cinema.
		Although Maltin's volume is encyclopedic in scope, containing over 18,000 alphabetically-organized movie entries, the guide has a number of problems.
		The most important of these is that Maltin et al do not seem to have thought about their audience.

		Maltin's guide is one of the most stunning displays of true objectivity ever published.
		Maltin must be the only person on earth who thinks Return of the Living Dead III (2 1/2 stars) is better than The Shining (2 stars).
		One manifestation of the problem was Leonard Maltin's hugely popular film guide, which insisted on naming the director of every single film while barely ever mentioning the writer.

		I like that Maltin gives me the option to see both the year and the rating for the movie in the list view, but I wish it would let me sort on these.
		In the list views, I wish Maltin would wrap to a second line for long titles, instead of chopping off the name and allowing that to "run into" the year and/or rating.
		Maltin has fewer categories, but the search function is much more complete, and at least it gives you some minimal options in the list views for sorting by year or rating.

		Now Mr Maltin has redressed the balance giving us the basic history of all the main studios each getting it's own chapter (plus one extra for the silent era).
		Maltin does a wonderful and comprehensive job of outlining the history of animation from the Silent Era, to the Golden Age, to a few subsequent years thereafter.
		Maltin shows his love for cartoons in every word.In light of the recent animation boom, however, it would be nice to see a more recently updated edition.One of my favorites!
