The Art of Ratatouille

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 24, 2007 Type: User Review Excellent artistic book

Very good book for people who are looking for tips in the hand draw cartoon character area. The different position of the mouse, the correct way you can draw a character make the book a very valuable tool. It is really bad that there is not much...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 08, 2007 Type: User Review Pixar succeeds once again.

Ratatouille was one of Pixar's most finely made movies, and the art book showed the painstaking hard work that was put into it. Watch the development of the characters, lighting tests, Brad Bird's words reflecting the movie, and dozens of talented...

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 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...
