Product Description: From the hit-makers at Pixar Animation Studios who brought us Buzz Lightyear, Nemo, and Mr. Incredible, now comes Remy, the furry star of Ratatouille. A lovable rat (yes, a rat!), Remy is driven by his passion for fine cuisine to become a chef against all odds and with madcap adventures along the way at the most famous restaurant in Paris. The Art of Ratatouille includes more than 200 of the artistic ingredients in this heartwarming film: storyboards, full-color pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies, maquettes, and more. In this exclusive movie tie-in book for adults, effusive quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team reveal the genius at work inside the studio that changed cartoon heroes forever.
Good book I bought this for a friend who is into animation. The book is good quality and I like all the information. My friend was so happy to receive it.
Awesome!! Great!! I'm impressed with a lot of detail, comments and marvelous drawings and sketchs. I'm illustrator and it is useful to me see books like that.
The Art of Ratatouille I have to agree with one of the other customer reviews that compared the film to this book... the film WAS indeed brilliant, but this book is just "so so" at best. Lots of funky concept art or development art, when the final art (in the film) was where the brilliance was!
Concept art is OK for people who want to see where the final art came from, but you sacrificed too much of the book on sketches, and rough color treatments, when we wanted to see all that VERY COOL final art. Sorry Pixar, no cigar!
Great characters and environments This is a beautiful book, full of great character and environment designs. I definitively recommend it
amazing book Great book. Backgrounds, character sketches, 3d models, animation poses, layouts..., and the story. it was my first book of that kind, and as a lover of animation films i really recommend it.
