The book includes techniques, advice, tips, tricks, and general information on the history of animation. Animation examples from the book combined with footage from Richard Williams' masterclasses have been put into a 16-volume DVD box set titled The Animator's Survival Kit – Animated.

It was written between February and March 1983 initially in French as Quoi où and translated by Beckett himself.

Description: The Mads force Joel and the 'bots to watch Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), the cheesy Japanese monster mash featuring Godzilla and a flying cyborg Jet Jaguar meeting a giant cockroach and a big black chicken sent by Seatopians. With Katsuhiko Sasaki, Hiroyuki Kawase, Yutaka Hayashi, and Godzilla's infamous flying kick, could this finally be the film that does Joel and his friends in for good? The basic premise of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) is that a human test subject — Joel Robinson (Joel Hodgson) — has been imprisoned aboard the spacecraft Satellite of Love by mad scientists (collectively called "The Mads") and is forced to watch a series of bad movies in order to find one that will drive the test subject insane. In an attempt to keep his sanity, Joel built sentient robots ("the bots") from parts aboard the Satellite of Love, and they subsequently remained aboard with Joel's successors as test subjects. The Bots include Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, Gypsy, who is in charge of satellite operations, and Cambot, the silent recorder of the experiments. Crow and Servo join the human test subject in watching the film in the satellite's theater. To keep from going mad, the trio frequently comment and wisecrack during the movie, a process known as "riffing". At regular intervals throughout the movie, the hosts leave the theater and return to the bridge of the satellite to perform sketches (commonly called "host segments") that often satirize the film being watched. In one of their more infamous episodes, the satellite of love crew got a chance to make fun of the famous Godzilla, riffing on one of the most ridiculed yet beloved big-G campy classics in their typical fashion. While this one certainly one of their more beloved and celebrated episodes, Toho subsequently stop licensing any Godzilla films for the MST3K to feature (seems they didn't appreciate the riffs) and subsequent home releases of this episode have been very space and difficult to come by. Thankfully, it found its way onto the internet archieve (and Facebook for however long that'll last,) which means it has found its way onto here! Please enjoy the show!
