review 1: Rise of the Guardians is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. For some odd reason it seems like every animated movie I fall in love with I never get to see in the theaters. There's something amazing about seeing all of these animated characters up on the big screen, though on a smaller screen (and through the second or twelfth time viewing the movie) you get to appreciate all of the fine details that went into making that animation. I have such a high respect for animators. I would love to be able to do what these people can; I'll settle for hoping to write the same magical storylines these writers come up with.William Joyce wrote the original children's series the film was based on and though the two mediums of book and film are completely different, I fell in ... morelove with both ideas and wish that more people could dive into Rise of the Guardians and see for themselves how lovely it is. I especially loved Joyce's preface to this book of art, knowing that he had input in the movie and wanted it to be as great and wonderful as possible. They certainly succeeded. The art contained in this book is just gorgeous. I could spend ages flipping through the pages just reading through the pictures. But whenever I stopped to read the text, the stories behind the visual developments of the characters were fascinating. It's easy to see how a figure that seems so iconic to me now could have ended up completely different and I would have never known that there had been another concept up for grabs unless I peered through the pages of this book. I think it's a great insight for any fan, let alone any art or film lover. This book is a little more expensive than what I usually buy but I'm one hundred percent certain I made the right decision in purchasing this. The story of the movie is so heartfelt that people of any age can enjoy and cherish it. Seeing the love and hard work that went into the characters while the movie was being made makes me appreciate the outcome that much more. If you loved Rise of the Guardians or enjoy animated movies, pick up this book now! And if you haven't seen the movie yet, well, what are you waiting for? It's one that will stick with you forever.
review 2: So many concept arts and everything, but mostly, it's fun to know that they (the productions team) struggled with characterizations and other related-issues (and how they managed to handle it). All those intricate details on each character's world just... wow. The design does complicated now that I stare at it on the book, since on the movie everything just passed-by and I don't really think about it. Seems like it took a very long time (like years) with all those details, just to did the design, let alone the movie. less
