From the publisher:

A spectacular and comprehensive authorized retrospective of Oscar-winning visual effects master Phil Tippett, founder and namesake of iconic Tippett Studio

From Star Wars to Jurassic Park and RoboCop to Starship Troopers, special effects master Phil Tippett has brought his magic to some of the most iconic films of all time. His unparalleled career in visual effects spans more than 40 years, with two Academy Awards, one BAFTA, and two Emmys. This stunning book, published in a beautiful slipcase, celebrates Tippett's career, from early Super 8 explorations through his groundbreaking work with Industrial Light & Magic, DreamWorks, and beyond. While Tippett's first love remains the stop-motion animation that made him a Hollywood legend, he was present at the birth of big-screen digital effects, and his genius has evolved with the times. In 1984 he founded Tippett Studio, which has come to specialize in digital effects.

Packed with over a thousand behind-the-scenes photographs, Mad Dreams and Monsters includes never-before-published stories from the master himself and a veritable who's who of visual effects luminaries--a must-have for movie fans, film students, and anyone who's ever been captivated by movie magic.

By Alexandre Poncet and Gilles Penso

Preface by Phil Tippett

Foreword by Paul Verhoeven

Foreword by Dennis Muren

Gilles Penso has worked on more than a dozen film and television projects in English as well as his native French, including Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan (2011); Creature Designers: The Frankenstein Complex (2015); and Phil Tippett: Mad Dreams and Monsters (2019), created with coauthor Alexandre Poncet. Alexandre Poncet is a composer, producer, and director based in France. He has created the music for six films and worked with Penso on the special-effects documentaries Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan; Creature Designers: The Frankenstein Complex; and Phil Tippett: Mad Dreams and Monsters. Paul Verhoeven is a noted director of films such as RoboCop, Starship Troopers, Basic Instinct, and Total Recall, among others, and credits Tippett with an invaluable on-the-fly education in practical effects on the set of RoboCop. Dennis Muren is a nine-time Academy Award-winning visual effects artist. He has worked on blockbusters such as the Star Wars saga, E.T., Indiana Jones, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

My Dogs' Absolute Favorite Chew: Tough, Flavorful, and a Lifesaver for Boredom!
What sets the Benebone Wishbone apart isn't just its durability—though that's impressive enough—it's the thoughtful design that caters to how dogs actually play and chew. Crafted from super-tough nylon infused with real bacon flavor (not some artificial nonsense that fades after one gnaw), this wishbone-shaped toy is ergonomically curved for easy gripping with paws or mouth, making it perfect for aggressive chewers who like to toss, carry, and battle it around. The three prongs give them multiple angles to attack, which keeps them engaged for hours without getting bored. For my Goldendoodles and Golden Retriever, who are all large-breed goofballs with endless energy, the large size (about 7.5 inches long) is spot-on—not too big to intimidate, but substantial enough to withstand their enthusiastic chomping. We've had ours for over two months now, and while it's showing some honorable battle scars (tiny grooves from their teeth, which actually make it easier for them to grip), it's nowhere near splintering or breaking. Compare that to the Nylabones we've tried, which either splintered too quickly or lacked any real appeal—these Benebones win hands down every time.Flavor is where this toy really shines, though. That real bacon infusion isn't just a gimmick; it's embedded throughout the nylon, so even as they chew deeper, the savory scent and taste keep coming. The more food-motivated Goldendoodle goes absolutely feral for it—drool flying as he parades it around the living room like a trophy, grumbling possessively if the others get too close. The female Goldendoodle prefers a more playful approach, flinging it across the room before pouncing back in for wrestling matches that leave her curls even more disheveled, while the Golden Retriever settles on the rug for long, focused sessions that help him unwind after fetch marathons. It's hilarious to watch them "fight" over it (in the gentlest, most sibling-rivalry way), but what's even better is how it redirects their energy. No more shredded couch cushions or nipped at ankles during zoomies—these bones have cut down on destructive behavior by at least 80%, giving me more time to relax and less time playing fetch with toy remnants.Safety and quality are top-notch too, which is crucial when you're dealing with heavy chewers. Made in the USA with non-toxic materials, it's free from BPA, phthalates, and all that sketchy stuff you worry about with imported plastics. The company even encourages responsible use: supervise play, especially for puppies or super-aggressive types, and replace when the ends wear down (though ours are still going strong). At this price point for a toy that lasts weeks instead of days, it's an absolute steal—I've already ordered backups in peanut butter flavor to rotate in and keep things fresh.If your dogs are anything like mine—energetic, mouthy, and in constant need of occupation—this Benebone Wishbone will be a game-changer. It's not just a chew toy; it's a boredom buster, a dental helper (those ridges get the tartar going), and a source of pure joy for your furry family members. My dogs love these bones more than their walks some days, and that's saying something! Five stars all the way—highly recommend grabbing one (or three) before your next Amazon order. Your sanity (and your furniture) will thank you.

Truly Durable - No Joke, These Actually Last
I purchase these for the rescue I support, and they live up to their “durable” claim - no joke, these truly last. Durability: These are genuinely built for aggressive chewers. While the edges do eventually get rough with heavy use, the fact that they last a while with determined chewers is impressive. Most toys don’t make it that far. Design: The wishbone shape gives dogs multiple angles to chew from, which keeps them engaged longer. The ergonomic design works well for powerful chewers. Made in USA: Knowing these are made in the USA gives me confidence in their quality and safety, whether for rescue dogs or personal use. Flavor: The real bacon flavor keeps dogs interested and coming back to the toy repeatedly. Pros: ∙ Truly durable - actually lasts ∙ Made in USA ∙ Real bacon flavor dogs love ∙ Wishbone shape for multiple grip points ∙ Perfect for aggressive chewers ∙ Edges get rough eventually but toy holds up ∙ Rescue regularly uses these ∙ Better longevity than most chew toys Bottom Line: When a chew toy genuinely lasts with aggressive chewers, that’s noteworthy. Yes, the edges get rough with extensive use, but the toy itself holds together far longer than most. Excellent for rescues, shelters, or anyone with power-chewing dogs. Highly recommended!
