Review Quotes

"the book is filled with wonderful visuals: concept art of the characters, ranging from sketches to paintings to digital illustrations to clay sculpts. There are lush illustrations of the land of the dead, and storyboards for some of the scenes."
-GeekDad

"Art of books function as learning tools for animated films and this one is no different. The artists detail their processes from character design to lighting to storyboards. These insights help animation fans broaden their knowledge and their appreciation. The amount of meticulous and precise details just can't be overstated, especially with a film like Coco. The sheer breadth of the land of the dead alone is astounding...The Art of Coco is overflowing with stunning imagery and is an excellent companion to the film."
