Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider bring an insider’s knowledge to this comeback. Hahn’s documentary offers a fascinating perspective on what took place within the creative ranks as well as among the leadership team of Michael D. Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Roy Disney. The documentary even includes key figures who famously left the company, such as Don Bluth, John Lasseter and Tim Burton.

Books & Books is proud to welcome her with her brand new book, The Birthday Ball (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $16) – a middle-grade humorous novel. It’s illustrated by Jules Feiffer, which makes it even more of a treat. Disgusting suitors, lovable peasants, the handsome village schoolteacher, and a clueless king and queen all collide at a birthday ball for sixteen-year-old Princess Patricia Priscilla. Princess Patricia Priscilla is bored with her royal life and the excitement surrounding her 16th birthday ball. Doomed to endure courtship by three grotesquely unappealing noblemen, she escapes her fate — for a week. What begins as a cure for boredom becomes a chance for the princess to break the rules. This is a laugh-out-loud book and sure to be a memorable event. Tickets are required. Free tickets are available at Books And Books, 265 Aragon at 3pm. Call 305-442-4408. http://www.booksandbooks.com

Then the manager also shows up with an auntie, and then a doctor friend appears with his mother in tow… Can Gianni keep four such lively mamas well fed and happy in these cramped quarters?

Bill McKibben – Eaarth: Making a Life Tough New Planet
Twenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we’ve waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already under way. Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding, and burning in ways that no human has ever seen. We’ve created, in very short order, a new planet, still recognizable but fundamentally different. We may as well call it Eaarth (Henry Holt & Company, $24). That new planet is filled with new binds and traps. A changing world costs large sums to defend — think of the money that went to repair New Orleans, or the trillions it will take to transform our energy systems. But the endless economic growth that could underwrite such largesse depends on the stable planet we’ve managed to damage and degrade. We can’t rely on old habits any longer. Our hope depends, McKibben argues, on scaling back — on building the kind of societies and economies that can hunker down, concentrate on essentials, and create the type of community (in the neighborhood, but also on the Internet) that will allow us to weather trouble on an unprecedented scale. Change — fundamental change — is our best hope on a planet suddenly and violently out of balance. This event is presented in collaboration with Green Monkey. Meet the author at Books And Books, 265 Aragon at 8pm. Call 305-442-4408. http://www.booksandbooks.com
