About this title

Synopsis:

In Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film, author Steve Daly teams with director John Lasseter to tell the tale of how these two visionary companies joined together and set out to do what had never been done before. At the heart of their journey lies the collaboration and sense of discovery that went into developing this computer animated "buddy movie," in which a rag doll cowboy named Woody and high-tech space toy Buzz Lightyear compete for the affections of a boy named Andy.
The authors explain and illuminate how Toy Story achieved its pioneering look while taking the elements of animation entertainment - humor, heart, and the creation of a world both real and fantastic-to new three-dimensional horizons. Richly illustrated with concept and storyboard art as well as images from the film, Toy Story: The Art and Making of the Animated Film provides an in-depth review of the amazing technology, creativity, and artistry that went into the making of this breakthrough motion picture.

Reviews:

The newest book tie-in to an animated Disney film comes so precipitately that Disney must be betting that people will read the feel-good story of how the first totally computer-animated film was made before they see the feel-good buddy picture itself. As usual with Disney product, the pictures are lavish, the story upbeat, the presentation perky to a fault. Those who loved the inside poop about Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Pocahontas will love this book, too. It's just the thing to curl up with while watching behind-the-scenes videos on the Disney channel. Sure, it's informative about technical issues, casting, etc., but mostly it's another darn cute book about another darn cute film--just what Disneyphiles want. Mike Tribby
