Merchandise News Pixar Review


Amid from Cartoon Brew, reviews To Infinity and Beyond! by Karen Paik.

An unprecedented catalog of blockbuster films later, the studio is honoring its history in this deluxe volume. From its fledgling days under George Lucas to ten demanding years creating Toy Story to the merger with Disney, each milestone is vibrantly detailed. Interviews with Pixar directors, producers, animators, voice talent, and industry insiders, as well as concept art, storyboards, and snapshots illuminate a history that is both definitive and enthralling.

reads the books description over at Amazon.com. But what’s Amid’s verdict, I hear you ask. The book is best suited for "Pixar completists" and those looking for a greater insight into the challenges involved in creating a Pixar film. However, "if you’re an owner of the studio’s earlier ‘art of’ books, it’s doubtful you’ll find much in the way of visual inspiration. "

Instead, Amid recommends waiting to see The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company by David Price, due for release May 13 next year, before forking out $75 RRP on this book. Read his full review here and make the decision for yourself.
N.C. To Infinity and Beyond!‘s release date has been pushed back. No date has been listed but sources say that it is due out on the 30th of December.
