¿ Cool facts about the look of characters. Creators of "The Wild Thornberrys" fought off suggestions to make Eliza more appealing. So, she kept the awkward braces and eyeglasses. Meanwhile, characters on "As Told by Ginger" wear different clothes every day. That's unusual in cartoons -- think about SpongeBob's brown pants, white shirt and red tie; Angelica Pickles's purple dress; and the red shirt usually worn by Jimmy Neutron.
¿ Title pages of the first five years of "Fairly OddParents."
¿ Early drawings of Johnny Quasar, who became Jimmy Neutron.
¿ A look at how animators study kung-fu moves before drawing fight scenes for "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Most kids (and adults) will spend hours poring over this colorful and weighty history. It sells for $40, but anyone who loves cartoons likely will consider it money well-spent.
