The Art of Inside Out (Disney)

The media could not be loaded. "The Art of Inside Out" is a fascinating look inside what should be another modern classic from Pixar. As a fan of the animation company, this book was a must-own - and it's instantly one of my favorite art books from their films. Pixar has been doing a lot of sequels lately (and they have more scheduled), so it's nice to see an original concept like "Inside Out" where the team has to start from scratch and build a world.This book compiles just about every conceivable type of artwork from the film: pencil drawings, ink, marker, digital paintings, and even clay sculpts. You also get a few pages of storyboards and the color script.Much of the imagery in the book is dedicated to the main characters - Riley (an 11-year old girl), her parents, and most importantly the emotions: Joy, Disgust, Fear, Anger, and Sadness. There are also many pages dedicated to the worlds that these characters inhabit - specifically the world inside Riley's head in which the emotions live.One of the things that is very cool to see is how the five emotions essentially began as simple shapes and colors. Of course, the final characters are very layered and have a lot of detail - but the fundamental differences in shape and color allow the audience to easily distinguish one emotion from another and gives each character their own unique look to match their personality.There is almost no text here, other than a foreword by Amy Poehler (who voices Joy) and an introduction by director Pete Docter. Some images do get captions, but they are short. So those looking for insight into the production process may be disappointed; although the artwork itself kind of demonstrates how the film's characters and design evolved over time.I enjoy all the Pixar films; one of things I like is the way the filmmakers collaborate. The directors are very involved in the art and design process, taking a hands-on approach in a way that many live-action directors don't. Pete Docter is a great director (Up, Monsters Inc.) but he is also a great visual artist - the book shows some of his own sketches.Anyone interested in animation or design in film should consider a purchase. Kids should really enjoy flipping through this one because there is a lot of great character art and colorful imagery. This is one of the nicest art books I've come across in a long time.The book is available in hardcover or as a Kindle version; I highly recommend you purchase the hard copy, in this case the art deserves to be seen on the printed page rather than on a computer screen.[NOTE: See comments section for link to photo gallery and high-quality HD unboxing video].

The team behind 'The Art of Inside Out' has chosen to take a radical, groundbreaking approach in composing this art book; they let the art speak for itself. Many of the art books for animated features released in lockstep with their theatrical debuts, Pixar/Chronicle's past efforts included, offer poorly laid out images in awful photoshop collages with text that often tries to present the film's production as wart less as they can with little insight into the filmmaking process. One day, there will be a book that, with the benefit of perspective which only time can provide, will give readers the full history of the making of 'Inside Out'. I'm not sure how long it will be till then, but let's focus on the book itself.The focus of this title is on the art. Pixar and Chronicle made the conscious decision to create a book which focuses on how to best present this superlative art by showing the film's progression through its visual development. The book is broken into three nondescript sections; the initial broad strokes to understand how to represent the mind and what the film's story should be, locking down and deepening those elements, and the refinement which occurs during active production. For a film about understanding there are limits to your perspective, this book works within these limits to the fullest.I could not finish this review without gushing about the wonderful art in this book. Some of Pixar's finest artists worked on this film including Ronnie Del Carmen, Ralph Eggleston, Tony Fucile, Don Shank, and Jerome Ranft. The skill and dedication with which these and many other artists threw themselves at this complicated task is truly inspiring.'The Art of Inside Out' might just be that, a collection of art from the Disney-Pixar film 'Inside Out', but the presentation and the art itself more than warrant a purchase.

Mi hijo ama este libro

Nice book. I loved it

Excelente calidad de papel, muchos datos interesantes de la producción y arte conceptual que mucha gente no vería de no ser por este libro. Si te gustó Intensamente, este libro te va a encantar.

es lo que es increible

There isn't much text - I know that's supposed to be the point, but I like a bit of commentary, especially for a movie as groundbreaking as this one. Otherwise, it's a pretty good companion if you enjoy seeing the creative side of films and liked Inside Out (which you should, it's a fantastic movie).

If you loved watching Inside Out and want to know more about the creative process that the artists went through to give us the inspiring movie, you're going to enjoy every page of this book. It's amazing to see early sketches, character development, and ideas branching out and becoming yet again another Pixar's success. I definitely recommend buying The Art of Inside Out. :)
