very nice - Rated
very nice art book, with many sketches and pre-production drawings, there are even classical animation poses (even if this is a 3D movie).
very nice inspiration for anyone who likes art.
WOW!! - Rated
I've really been trying not to expect too much from Ratatouille as I'm dreading the day when Pixar have an inevitable drop in success with one of their upcoming projects. I must say, even before this film has been released, it really doesn't look like this will be it! Their process is so thorough it virtually guarantees that any subject they choose to take on will produce a fantastic animated film.
The Art of Ratatouille surprised me with the amount, and quality, of artwork. There is a huge amount of work beautifully reproduced in the book, and to my pleasure a real abundance of pencil and colour sketches, which in my opinion have been a bit lacking in their last few projects. I feel that this traditional hand-drawn element helps define their films and is so impressive to look at as stand-alone pieces of art - and there are many of them in this book. There are also many examples of sculpts, collages, digital paintings, oil pastels, digital renders and more.
As well as the wonderful aesthetic, there are some fascinating insights from key players at Pixar scattered around the book. These really add to the whole experience of looking at the pre-production art, although the focus in this art-of book is clearly the art itself as it occupies most of the space in it. This is how I personally think it should be done, and is the same reason I was so pleasantly surprised.
Recommended to all Pixar fans, rat lovers, animation enthusiasts and everyone else too. Can't wait to see what all this breath-taking art has lead to!
