i think so. I have his early day 1973 partly animation-centric book, the milestone "The Disney Films" (1995 edition), and the 1980 ALL-animation based "Of Mice and Magic" (1987 edition, so it doesn't cover "Who Framed Roger Rabbit","Simpsons","Ren/Stimpy",etc.,etc.). Still both very good, though he tended to shift his opinion on 1941's "Reluctant Dragon" classic animated title cartoon (at the end of the film) in the 1973 edition as "something of a letdown" but did think much better in much later editions, stating his fondness for the "fey" dragon's story (the similiar Ferdinand already being a 1938 Oscar winner and upcoming Fox feature..)
The "Of Mice and Magic" book has one of the bad points I think is wrong, when it comes to the Warner Bros. section---under-estimating poor Robert McKimson, one of the longest running animator/directors (though his first doesn't sappear till 1946, "Daffy Doodles").
