Product Description
After Toy Story, Ratatouille, WALL E, and other award-winning blockbusters, where else could Pixar Animation Studios go but UP? Their latest film is the heartwarming story of Carl Fredrickson (voiced by Ed Asner), a 78-year-old widower who feels that life has passed him by until a twist of fate takes him on a journey across the globe. UP is set to take off on May 29, 2009. The Art of UP contains more than 250 pieces of concept art developed for the feature, including storyboards, full-color pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies, color scripts, and more. Quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team reveal the sky-high creativity that elevated this whimsical film to new heights.

This book gives a unique look into the Pixar Studios and the creative process that brings so many wonderful films to life. A must if you are an animation fan.
Love it! Just as good as the other PIXAR ART OF books...maybe even better! June 15, 2009
Richard J. Goldschmidt (Oak Lawn, IL USA)
My friend ALBERT LOZANO contributed alot of GREAT art as did the whole PIXAR staff. There is an understanding of GREAT character design here that no other computer animation studio understands. BEAUTIFUL art!

Daniel M. Luvisi (Fullerton, Ca)
A wonderful book from start to finish, really shows how much effort, thought and love they put into the film.
A Fantastic and Different Book for a Fantastic and Different Movie! June 10, 2009
AlreadyDead (US)
Up is a different sort of movie than is commonly made by anyone much less Pixar. The themes addressed in the film are gut wrenching as well as inspiring, and to really gain insight into the methods used to bring them to the screen required a different approach than the average "Art of" book.
Though I have been a fan of Pixar since they came on the scene, I have never been compelled to buy any of their previous "Art of" books. With Up, I was so profoundly moved by this masterwork of a film that I had to find out everything I could about the process of making it! This book does that and more. Filled with carefully chosen preproduction art that shows the evolution of all the major characters and settings, this work also presents the evolution of the perspectives of the creators as they changed throughout the process.
The layout of the book takes inspiration from a prominent volume in the film, with similar colors, a "paste up" style and a very nice emboss hidden under the dust jacket. The paper quality is superb, as is the binding. This is a book that is meant to be looked at often and for a long time.
Even though I would love to have seen ALL the art from Up included, I came away feeling very satisfied in that I had seen more than expected, and all of the "most important" pieces. If you are like me and simply had to have more of Up, this book satisfies that urge and more. For everyone else, The Art of Up is a loving look at the masters of storytelling at work!
