Nach seinem Journalismusstudium an der New York University veröffentlichte Maltin Artikel in zahlreichen Filmzeitschriften und Zeitungen. Am bekanntesten ist er für seinen umfassenden Filmführer, der jährlich mit Zusammenfassungen und Rezensionen aktualisiert wird, sowie für weitere Werke, die sich mit der Kinematografie, der Geschichte der amerikanischen Animation und Biografien von Filmstars befassen.
