I was surprised to see The Little Mermaid on this template, since the film is not mentioned in the Chris Van Allsburg article, and Van Allsburg isn't mentioned in the Little Mermaid article. IMDb says that he was a visual development artist on the film, but I can't find confirmation of this in a reliable source. If it can be verified, it should probably be mentioned in one of the two articles; if it can't be verified, the link should be removed from the template. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:08, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Allsburg did not create Enchanted Worlds: Dwarfs in the same way he created the other "Picture Books" in this template, such as Jumanji. He has a single illustration on page 24 of a book that was written by Tim Appenzeller for the Time Life series of 21 books. If this work needs to be included in Allsburg's template, it should be in a separate category, like Contributions.^[1]

Likewise, Allsburg did not create Enchanted Worlds: Ghosts. The book is credited to the Editors of Time Life Books. He has several illustrations throughout the book, but he is by no means a chief contributor to the book.^[2] -- Trumpetrep (talk) 17:18, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
