Ron Clements Book ‘Making Disney Magic . . . from a Mermaid to Moana’ Available for Preorder

Hi everyone!

Legendary writer and director Ron Clements has a book scheduled to release on October 21st, 2025 called “Making Disney Magic…from a Mermaid to Moana” from Disney Editions Deluxe. The book is available for preorder. Clements has often collaborated with John Musker, and films they have brought to life include “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin” and “Moana”. Musker does write the foreword. The book also has a longer title that includes “Tales of a Disney Animation Director”. The cover includes Moana, Genie, Hercules and Ariel.

Making Disney Magic…from a Mermaid to Moana” features nearly 500 museum-quality, full color pages and 1,000+ pieces of archival artwork and photos, according to the description. Also, why aren’t Clements and Musker Disney Legends yet? That is such a surprise to me. They should be at the top of the list.

Read below for more information on “Making Disney Magic…from a Mermaid to Moana” from the publisher.

An engaging story of 45 magical years of Disney animation, featuring nearly 500 museum-quality, full-color pages and 1,000+ pieces of archival artwork and photos.

The corners of this smaller-than-typical coffee table book also serve as an animation flip-book celebrating Disney characters from the 1970s–2010s.

If your favorite Disney Princess is Moana or Ariel . . . if your favorite Disney magic comes from Aladdin’s Genie or Mama Odie . . . if your favorite Disney baddie is Hades or Professor Ratigan . . . then say, “thank you,” to Ron Clements. (He says, “you’re welcome”.)
