  • Summary: Simply Beautiful
  • Comment: I don't buy too many Art Books simply because so many of them are filled with too much writing. This one however, is a HAVE TO HAVE. Its 192 pages of "AWESOMENESS!!" Pages of character designs, a section dedicated to each character, with size relation charts, early character designs and sketches, background designs, full page layout concepts, screen shots, and rough animation. This is a unique book, it tells a story in its self of the journey this movie went on behind the scenes. It was a pleasant surprise. I still haven't read it yet, but I've looked through it dozens of times. You never really know just what to expect from an art book as they're all different. This one will be a treasure in my collection and one that will make for many inspirations for my own projects in the future.

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

  • Summary: Stunning!
  • Comment: This book is both helpful and utterly gorgeous! I am hoping to go to college for animation/movie design so naturally this book interested me but this goes well beyond my general interest. I can't stop looking through it! The styles of the artists are so unique, its hard not to get a little jealous. There is more about character design than there is setting and places, but they do have the places (both used and not) in the book at the end. The book is good for reference for characters, lighting, poses, color, shapes and everything else.

  • Summary: Kung Fu Panda: Enter the fantastic art
  • Comment: I had been coveting after this book for a good year and a half before owning it.
    I first saw it at the Barnes and Nobel, its glossy cover promising kickass art, the width suggesting it contained massive amounts of drawings, and the length making sure the art was big enough to really savor.
    Upon opening the book, I found all of the above to be true.

    The sketches, the finished pieces, the explanations for why the development of certain characters went the way it did- all wonderful!
    But the price... It is well worth $45, don't get me wrong- but I'm a working student, and definitely don't have an extra $45 in my pocket.
    So I waited.

    I asked for it for my Birthday, and Christmas- no luck- it was already not in print in stores!
    Then I checked on Amazon. $109!?!?!?!??!?
    So I waited.
    And waited.
    And waited.

    Then, one fateful day, the price was miraculously reasonable, and I swooped down and retrieved the book.
    It is beautiful, and definitely one of my most treasured 'art of' books I own to date. I collect animation 'art of' books, and this one really outshines the others by a large margin.
