There's a link somewhere on the Amazon page to translate it to English, after that checkout will be in English as well. If you're already an Amazon customer, your account information will be filled automatically. Here are amazon.co.jp shipping rates for your reference.

And here's the book review for the English edition.

The following video is a look into the history of computer animation from the perspective of Ed Catmull, Alvy Ray Smith, Andrew Stanton and Brad Bird.

If you're as big as a Pixar fan as me, you'll have already heard some of the stories. Some of these stories are told in The Pixar Story documentary from 3-disc WALL-E DVD (Amazon link) and the book To Infinity And Beyond.

You have to watch this video if you're a Pixar fan or into animation.

And if you like this video, check out the SplineCasts (you'll need iTunes) from Spline Doctors.
