The Art of Frozen


Okay...Blogger's being weird about uploading pics - I was unable to get ANY of the pictures I'd taken up, which has been partially why it's taken me so long to get this up.  Sooo finally, I'm just giving in and not having any pictures.  Ughh. 
So let's see.  This is going to be fairly tricky to accomplish without pictures. 
The slipcover of the "Art of Frozen" features concept art of both Anna and Elsa; the back has Elsa's ice castle and a brief description of the movie.  When you remove the slipcover, the hardback book has a dark blue cover, and the front has a GORGEOUS rendering of a snowflake.  It is absolutely beautiful! 
From there, the book gets even better.
Each character gets their own section, with brief touches on character design, concept art, etc. for all of them.  Elsa gets TWO sections dedicated to her; one named 'Elsa' and the other 'The Snow Queen'.  Even Marshmallow and the Trolls get their own sections! And the Duke of Weselton.  Or should I say Weasletown...? ;)
The book has LOADS of absolutely stunning concept art pieces, from many artists, including Jin Kim, Claire Keane, Lisa Keene, Brittany Lee, and others.  There are also quite a few little bits of information that I found intriguing - who knew that Elsa's hair was originally going to be black?
"The Art of Frozen" has a lot of information on character design, including patterns, photographs from Norway, and just ...this whole book is incredible!! 
The book is around 160 pages long.  It has several pages dedicated to storyboards as well. 

Overall, and I apologize AGAIN that my photos wouldn't come up (Ugh!!), I give "The Art of Frozen" a 5/5.  If you're interested in the making of the movie, it is well worth the $27 to buy it off of Amazon!  (: 

That's about it for now, sorry for the lack of pictures! 
Anyone planning on getting "The Art of Frozen"?  Does anyone already have it, and if you do, what are your thoughts on it? (:
