Review Quotes

"One of the best things about the 'art of' books is the ability they give a reader to look closer at people, places and things that zip by on film...The latest example, 'The Art of Elio, ' shows the Communiverse in all its glory. Those creatures from other planets, solar systems - whatever - are detailed in dozens of preliminary sketches and models. Even someone like Elio, the boy who dreams of going into space, has more dimension here. You get to see photographs that were used to create his cape (it features the kinds of things that figured into 'Up') and a peek at the stuff he uses to decorate his room.... a super post-film journey. Look at it before the film and you'll be eager to see how everything plays out. It's a dandy complement."--Sioux City Journal

"As Pixar's Elio makes its way into the hearts of audiences, Chronicle Books' The Art of Elio offers a colorful deep dive into the studio's latest intergalactic coming-of-age tale. With a heartfelt preface by Pixar CCO Pete Docter and a foreword by original director Adrian Molina, the book is a handsome companion piece that lives up to the high standards of the 'Art of' series."--The Laughing Place
