The Art of Ralph Breaks the Internet

Image
The Art of Ralph Breaks the Internet:   is an AWESOME. Probably one of the best art books due to how many character designs and pre-production on all of the characters they show. Jessica Julius really knows how to make an art of book. She uses limited text and fills her pages with as much art as possible, there is hardly any wasted space. The one major thing that she does that I like is that she finds multiple drawings of the characters before the design is finalized and we get to see a lot of the artists explore each character and see what might have been.  Literally some of the characters have multiple pages with these exploitative drawings. For example there are 5 pages devoted to the character Yesss and with in those pages you have up to 55 character design drawings. With a total of 168 pages, (8 more than the last Wreck it Ralph art book) it has about 70 pages with character designs and rough drawings of the characters. A lot of those drawings that I noticed are from arti...

The Art of Incredibles 2   Has a lot more Character Design than the previous art of the Incredibles from the first fil.  With 168 pages I would say about  41 pages with character designs. But I wish they would have put more.  It then has about 22 pages of storyboards, and the rest is of pre-visual artwork like props, buildings, backrounds and other throwaway art that I wonder why they even show. There are many character designs done by Matt Nolte, who I consider one of the best artist out there in the animation industry.  There is also some art from Tony Fucile, and Deanna Marsigliese. So overall I am pretty happy to see a lot of great artwork, but it seems like they withheld so much more character designs that they could have shown. (I'm sorry but I am not to interested in all of the pictures of props and building layouts which is most of the book). But there is another great thing about this book, is that it shows designs of Lucius Best (Frozone's wife) and Ka...

DESPICABLE ME 3

Image
DESPICABLE ME 3  is out on 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital Download. I receive a review copy of this AWESOME show in 4K, and what I saw was complete fun and enjoyment.  I really love all of these characters in this show, from Gru and family to the villain Balthazar Bratt who was stuck in the 80's. all of these characters where fleshed out and lovable. The company Illumination is just kicking some butt when it comes to making great animated films.  I have to say the detail that you can see in these Hi- Rez copies on 4K and Blu-Ray are amazing. If you look closely you can even see the individual threads on their clothes. I sure do hope they continue making more of these Despicable Me movies, because we love them at our house.  I also really liked the extra animated short (Mini-Movie): The Secret Life of Kyle... So Funny. This movie to me is a MUST HAVE. I am giving it a Very AWESOME...  5 out of 5 Here is some Technical Stuff about the different vers...

The Art of Coco

Image
The Art of Coco   has a whole mix of artwork for both living and the dead characters from the film.  With 162 pages I would say about 1/3 is filled with some great character design.  I like that there is hardly any text, but loads of artwork.  This book introduced me to some great artist that I would like to point out, and I will now put them on my watch list of artists to follow, and hopefully we will see more of their work in the future too.  They are - Daniel Arriaga,  Zaruhi Galstyan, and Manny Hernandez.  There is also some wonderful art scattered throughout from Tony Fucile (an artist /animator that was came over with Brad Bird), I wish they would show more of his work, but maybe he is hard working on the new Incredibles 2, who knows maybe theuy will show more work in the next Art Of Book. I really liked this book, so I am giving it a...  4 out of 5
