Review: A "bon appetit" experience for all artists - I love my book! It came brand new, and unharmed. I wanted this book because I've been wanting to get my hands on as many "Art Of" books as I can! Disney, or non-Disney. This is my second one so far, and each one is a pleasure to own. The magic that these books have is that they give its readers and artists alike a chance to see the work that goes in to making films. Often we take these films (and the sweaty effort that goes in them) for granted. But these books show the underbelly - the research, the messy designs and redos - and how much efficiency in team work REALLY matters. They're a good idea as to what many other films have to go through too. I adore the chalk pastel sketches, the character design snippets, and the set design. The best part is that every time I see them, I feel like I'm in the Animation Academy in California Adventure, even when I'm just reading the book under lamplight.
Review: Great Pre-production book!!! - Even if you didn't like Ratatouille (I don't see why) you can appreciate this book. It is filled with amazing artwork for the film; storyboard, concept sketches, background paintings, color keys, and my favorite concept maquettes/sculptures of the characters. The character sculptures by Greg Dykstra really blew me away. Amazing stuff! Worth the price of the book alone! If you are an artist, animator you can't go wrong with purchasing this book. Artwork is beautiful if not short of brilliant. Some amazing talent at Pixar, who made an amazing film (and still going strong). Very inspiring book!! Not only has the artwork but talks about how Ratatouille came to be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A "bon appetit" experience for all artists
*by F***Y on July 26, 2020*

I love my book! It came brand new, and unharmed. I wanted this book because I've been wanting to get my hands on as many "Art Of" books as I can! Disney, or non-Disney.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charming Balance of Mediums
*by A***R on March 3, 2014*

The first thing I noticed upon opening this book was the mix of traditional and Digital Mediums that the different artists took when exploring the art direction for this film. The contents of this book are mainly comprised of conceptual scene and location layouts, and these primarily take up the front two thirds of the book. The other half uses the space to display the sketches and clay models of the characters. By this I'm referring to the concepts for the human characters. The rats went through many stages of designs therefore being granted 15 or so pages at the beginning of the book. This section is relatively shorter, perhaps due to a lack of more conclusive sketches towards the characters final designs, however this is merely an assumption on my part. What I like about this art book, like most of the other Disney and Pixar art books is the inclusion of reference photos allowing insight into the inspirations behind the art. I would rate this to be a recommended buy.
