5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful artbook for Disney's Big Hero 6
By Parka TOP 50 REVIEWER on October 30, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Length: 2:16 Mins
Beautiful artbook for Disney's Big Hero 6

I find this to be an interesting artbook particularly because of the environment designs. About half the book is dedicated to the environment designs which includes the city San Fransokyo, Hiro's house, the cafe, San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, Fred's mansion and the portal.

The San Fransokyo is like a character by itself with its blend of architecture and aesthetics from west and east. It's fun to see how the artists create a populated city inspired by San Francisco and Tokyo.

Cited by art director Scott Watanabe, there are also influences from anime films such as Tekkonkinkreet, Ghost in the Shell and Akira. Indeed when I look at some of the environment sketches, they remind me of sketches from the Tekkon Kinkreet anime artbook. The vibe is certainly present.

Looking at the city's environment concept art, you'll be able to spot Japanese elements such as the tapered rooftops, Koinobori (carp-shaped wind socks), a Golden Gate Bridge lookalike with Torii design elements, signboards with Japanese typography, wooden curved bridges, cherry-blossom trees, etc. There are also major characteristic San Francisco elements such as the roads with very recognisable cable cars, sloping hills, Victorian-style houses, etc.

There's an emphasis on function and a sense of feeling lived-in for the environments, so buildings aren't just designed to look cool. For example, city streets or Hiro's rooms are made to look a bit more messy or wonky.

The second half of the book features the character designs for the heroes, villains and side characters. Again, there's noticeable Japanese influence in the designs. Early designs for Hiro shows off costumes that look like ninjas or even Patlabor.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA tome not to be missed!!
By Korey Brooks on November 13, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is an awesome art book for those into not only digital and traditional art mediums but for designers and graphic artists/designers and architects also! This book not only delves into the process behind making the movie but style changes in drawing and development of characters and sets as well. This book includes the sketches from even the brainstorming/thumbnail stage where nothing was hashed out just a small idea on paper sketched out in a matter of seconds. Then the evolution from there is defined and explained at each step all the way up to CGI modeled finished product images. It shows a ton of art from behind the scenes which some books well "art of" books have neglected over the last few years. This book surpasses the art of the guardians of the Galaxy ( a book that I loved btw) and is almost on par with the first art of iron man movie book (which to me is top 5 in art of movie books due to the depth of information and photos and most important production art the makers included in their book). This book is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. As an artist myself it is very inspiring to see processes of development such as was included in this book because you can see areas which show the inner workings of the artist mind, the hurdles they face in creating art for a big company like Disney and this part is key, the way that even the upper echelon professional artists still have to work out kinks in their work by going back to basics and working on fundamental art skills to get perfect work. This book shows that it is a long arduous process no matter what stage artist or what kind of artist you are. Five stars all the way.

5.0 out of 5 starsDefinitely Not A Disappointment
By melissa on November 8, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Absolutely gorgeous! I've already read it cover to cover three times, and I have yet to see the movie! If you're afraid of spoilers, that's okay because this book has little to no spoilers in it, so it's perfectly okay to read before you see the film. The art is absolutely stunning, and the format is like a comic book. For this being my first art book, I don't regret my decision at all.

5.0 out of 5 starsI really liked that they put their reasoning behind the character designs

This book has a lot of pages about the settings of the futuristic Sanfransokyo (however you spell it haha), characters and armor. I really liked that they put their reasoning behind the character designs, specially Honey Lemon's.

5.0 out of 5 starsSo Beautiful
By Minnow on November 8, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Filled with beautiful designs of the architectural glory that is San Fransokyo and interesting character designs by many wonderful artists including Shiyoon Kim (the artist who did the art for the credits). I was happy they didn't ignore the side characters, no one was left out! Even the bot fighter, Yama, shown in the beginning (which I was delighted to see designs for).

My favorite section has to be the section they specifically put aside the cinematography as it was so wonderful in the film, it was great to learn more about it. The color keys were gorgeous as well c:

If you care enough about the film to get this far as to read reviews for the art book, go ahead and buy it :') it's worth it !

5.0 out of 5 starsIf you love animated movies
By Robert Delgiudice on February 27, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
If you love animated movies, this is the one to see. This book provides all of the aspects of animation such as the creation of the characters, backgrounds of locations the story takes place, specific scenes that define the story and more. If you're an art lover and animation fan you will not be disappointed by the contents of this book. It is a wonderful book covering the making of the academy award winning animated feature of 2015. Disney creates the finest animated films for people of all ages and this book represents the fantastic creativity involved by the many people who made it.
