Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-11 00:00:00 Michael Freyer I really liked this one for the fact that it actually consisted of drawn (digital or otherwise) art pieces, and not movie stills. The most noteworthy pieces were undoubtedly Simon Varela's charcoal drawings. They are masterpieces, with the full page lay-outs that they deserved, and if a family member came across me staring intently at a page in here, you could bet that it was one of Varela's that held my attention. Overall, one of the better Art Of books. "But's that the theme of the movie. It asks, Are you going to live a life of complete safety and risk nothing? Or are you going to take a chance and maybe find that only by doing so are you truly alive?"

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-13 00:00:00 Michael Furniss An extraordinary collection of concept art and designs from the making of Pixar's Finding Nemo. (My favorite was the charcoal work of Simon Varela - he's some sort of charcoal-wielding ninja.) There are no movie stills, which I appreciate very much, being that a "making of" book, imho, doesn't need them. I know what the finished product looks like, and I want behind the scenes. Another plus was that there was no time wasted with other movies or Pixar history. Lots of other books take up several pages to go into the past, as if attempting to convince you of why the movie of interest was made. I ask, "who cares?" I love the movie, and I'm glad it was made, and now I want to see cool art! Why should I worry about whether Pixar had to delay the making of one movie in order to focus on making another? Sympathy? At 160 pages, the book takes very little time to read, but a person can spend hours getting lost in the fantastic (often full-page) art. Greatly recommended for anyone who loves Pixar.
