PRAISE FOR ONE LITTLE SPARK!"In the process of writing the book, Sklar asked 75 current and former Disney Imagineers to write him short stories about how projects worked or didn't work. He also enlisted them to talk about how they became Imagineers, which forms the basis of the second part of the book. Some of the Imagineers are known by many Disney fans, while others are less so, which reinforces another recurring theme: 'The achievement of the Imagineers are not those of brilliant individuals acting alone--it's all about the perfect blending of talents. In a word, it's teamwork, ' [Sklar said]."--Orange County Register
PRAISE FOR ONE LITTLE SPARK!"What does it take to break into the theme park design business If we kept a list of frequently asked questions on Theme Park Insider, that one would rank high upon it. Young theme park fans (and even some not-so-young-ones) often dream about turning their love for theme parks into a career designing them. But answering this question proves difficult, for the people who create parks took an almost countless number of paths to those jobs. . . . Disney Legend Marty Sklar includes comments and advice from 75 current and former Disney Imagineers who share their experiences on that road. It's like reading a Disney geek's dream discussion thread. . . . One Little Spark reads best as a companion to Sklar's earlier book. This isn't a biography, but a master class in theme park design."--Theme Park Insider
