'Art of…' Author Talks Toy Story 3!

News Toy Story 3

Animation historian and The Art of Toy Story 3 author, Charles Solomon, discusses the success of Pixar’s latest in an interview with LA Times.

"I still cried when I saw the finished film" commented Solomon who had already been exposed to the content during production. That’s a testament to how effective Toy Story 3 has been on everyone.

As with most successful films, the highly anticipated sequel owes its immense box-office take and excellent critical reception to years of hard work by a dedicated team of visionaries. It also helps that Lee Unkrich embraced the nostalgia factor, making Toy Story 3 "the way John Lasseter would have made the first one look if he’d had the tools."

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Art of Toy Story 3. My review of this phenomenal coffee table book can be found here.
