As a fan of Disney art, I pre-ordered this book not knowing much about it. I was extremely happy with what is inside. This book isn't artwork from the production of films the involve Disney Princesses. Instead it is a book of various artist's interpretations of their favorite Disney Princesses. It is incredibly creative. Flipping through the pages is like taking a stroll through a Disney art museum. I've had the book for a few weeks now and I keep flipping through it because it's so wonderful. I highly recommend it.

This book is more on fan art than concept art. That said, you won't see any sketches from original Disney artists. The illustrations of princess are based on the artists' interpretation. I don't recognise the names of any artists other than Glen Keane, who wrote the introduction.
The princesses included are Snow White, Tiger Lily, Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Mulan, Aurora, Jasmine, Cinderella and even the newest Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.
The variety of style is great. There's art created from acrylic, collages, gouche, water colour, digital and there are even handmade dolls and photographs. What I didn't like is the quality of the illustrations, which can be quite varied, depending on the skill level of the artist contributing. Remember after all, this is sort of a fan art book, although I have seen better fan art books.
While some are beautifully drawn, there's not one that truly stands out. Most of the pieces stay on the wholesome track, although someone did try to break out of the box with Snow White in a futuristic skin-tight outfit. There's another one, which I think didn't work well, had Snow White fixed onto a deer's body much like a Centaur. The idea might not be bad but the technical execution (which should not be mistaken as style) could be better, which happens some other pieces. I also realised that manga style chibi eyes don't work well on princesses, or maybe because it's not done right (by a Japanese artist).
The ones I like are the ones which stayed true to the original designs but done in a different style. There are two artists Dan Beltran and Eric Tan who created simple vector illustrations with nice compositions.
This book could be so much better if the selection is stricter. It's recommended only if you're really interested, like seriously interested in Disney princesses.
Probably 3.5 out of 5 stars.

as a great admirer of walt disney, i drink up the books relating to the art (and anything else) of his films. that being said, this book was AMAZING! i can not say enough about how much i enjoyed the various art renderings of the princesses we all know and love. many of the images in this compilation are frame-worthy.
in fact, just writing about it makes me want to go look at it again...so i think i'm going to!
wonderful book if you love disney, and equally wonderful book if you love art!

Not what I expected.
The book is fine, but I was disappointed.
Granted, I could have done more research on the title, but I had not been disappointed with Disney art books in the past. Read more
