Summary: Beautifully illustrated
I purchased this originally, because as well as being a fan of the movie, "Cars", I am an up and coming animator and am very interested in all aspects of animation. In the description it told me the book tells of how the original idea was made into a film and the steps and research taken to do so, so I bought it.
I am very pleased with this book, it is wonderfully illustrated with production sketches, storyboards, landscape and building drawings and detailed character drawings. I also found the information very interesting too, not too much writing but just enough to keep it informative. It is a sturdy hard back edition so it will last far longer than a soft cover and perfect for a coffee table book. I found out a lot I didn't know about the film and I highly reccommend this book for people who are interested in animation as well as fans of the film!
Summary: A Must-Read fpr Pixar Lovers, Car Buffs, Aspiring Artists and Disney Fans
John Lasseter and Suzanne Wallis have a winner on their hands in this important art book that reaffirms the contribution of the artist to the final computerized production seen as "CARS".
In this generously illistrated book we see the progression from original concept sketches and atmosphere renderings to the beautiful final scenes that reached the screen of CARS.
This is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the creative process. John Lasseter has elevated animation to a new level while preserving the quality of story telling that can only be compared with that of the master: Walt Disney. This book is a tribute to the genius of creativity.
Somewhere, Walt must be smiling.
Summary: The Art of Cars
I think this is one of the best illustrated books I've ever bought and read. I received the book before seeing the movie, so I was anxious to see if the movie followed the book. It does and it's most helpful to see how the movie came about. The illustrations in the book are of such quality that it is comparable to any coffee table book I own, and those are many. The artist' drawings are exceptional quality. I was impressed to see how many years went into making the movie and the book told the complete process of consultants, writers, etc. that were consulted to make sure of the movie's authenticity as well as appeal to both children and adults. Michael and Suzanne Fitzgerald Wallis certainly nailed Route 66 in the book and therefore was presented in the movie with much detail. Having driven Route 66, I recognized many of the buildings, landscapes, etc. depicted in the movie. Had I not ever driven Route 66, the book and thus the movie, would have made me want to see the amazing part of Route 66 located in the Southwest so well presented. Again, anyone wanting to own a beautiful book of illustrations, as well as reading how a movie is made, needs to get the book, The Art of Cars. It'll make you want to see the movie and motor West getting your Kicks on Route 66.
