Smarter Video Review now playing for this product:

The Art of Ratatouille

For: $21.40

From the hit-makers at Pixar Animation Studios who brought us Buzz Lightyear, Nemo, and Mr. Incredible, now comes Remy, the furry star of Ratatouille. A lovable rat (yes, a rat!), Remy is driven by his passion for fine cuisine to become a chef against all odds and with madcap adventures along the way at the most famous restaurant in Paris. The Art of Ratatouille includes more than 200 of the artistic ingredients in this heartwarming film: storyboards, full-color pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies, maquettes, and more. In this exclusive movie tie-in book for adults, effusive quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team reveal the genius at work inside the studio that changed cartoon heroes forever.

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 06, 2007 Type: User Review Haute Cusine Eye Candy

A magical depiction of Paris, cusine and rodents. The array of sketches, concept paintings, reference art and character studies is wonderful. I'd say exceptional, but I've got other "art of" books about Pixar films and they are all universally...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 30, 2007 Type: User Review Just the tip of the iceberg

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 29, 2007 Type: User Review Just O.K.

I think some reviewers are confusing the movie with the book. The film is amazingly brilliant. The book is not. At least not compared to a book like "The Art of The Incredibles". I just don't feel like I learned much or was shown the wide variety...

I will allow you to form your own opinion of the film and simply focus on this book. Overall, it is what you would expect. Everything from rough pose and character design sketches to chalk and pastel color tests that are rich and lavish and as...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 10, 2007 Type: User Review This is my fifth artbook from Pixar

In typical Pixar artbook fashion, the pages are filled with concept drawings, visualisations and the thought process that goes behind the production of Ratatouille. Through these pages, you'll come to a realisation that their success is no fluke....

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 08, 2007 Type: User Review One of PIXAR's best

Ratatouille was one of the more sophisticated films PIXAR has done so far. While at first the story seems simple about a protagonist who is different, the film eventually moves beyond this and involves multiple secondary protagonists each with...
