Review:

PRAISE FOR FROZEN: A POP-UP ADVENTURE

"The first thing we've noticed about this book was the use of complex engineering techniques that make the pop-up's more impressive but also flat and solid. Double layered pop-ups that fold in-and-out smoothly and scene's that unfold from totally flat into a huge decor of paper. A spectacle of paper animation to behold and it's all happening in front of your eyes. . . . Every page is a mix of fantastic artwork, holographic prints and advanced paper engineering. The artwork, also created by Matthew Reinhart, is a pleasant mix of Matthew's typical style of hand painted textures and the almost contrasting digital world of the Frozen movie. It feels and looks like Disney with a crafty edge of Reinhart's style. Something that really works, especially combined with pop-ups."―Best Pop-Up Books

PRAISE FOR FROZEN: A POP-UP ADVENTURE

"Let it go and dive into this intricately designed pop-up book that tells the story of Elsa and Anna and their reindeer and snowman companions."―Los Angeles Times

"Matthew Reinhart is a master of pop-up books, and this celebration of Pixar is a treat for fans. The book is quite large, and even though there are only 5 spreads in the book, each of them includes several pop-ups. . . . Finally, each feature film gets its own pop-up, and it's always amazing how much springs out of these seemingly tiny squares. One of my favorites is the pop-up for Inside Out, which has Riley's head in 3D-peering through her pupils reveals the emotions sitting at their control panel inside. Each image shows an iconic moment from a film. If you love Pixar films as much as I do, you'll have fun marveling at Reinhart's masterful paper sculptures."―Geek Dad
