Pixar Animation Studios, the innovators behind Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Ratatouille, has again reinvented the genre with WALL E. When a robot searching for a connection finds EVE, a sleek female probe-droid from outer space, he embarks on an adventure-filled journey across the galaxy. Inspired by classic films, and a brave venture in its own right, WALL E is set to awe audiences this summer. The Art of WALL E includes more than 250 imaginative pieces of concept art, including storyboards, full-color pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies, color scripts, and more. The astute text—featuring quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team—unearths the filmmakers' historical inspirations and reveals a studio confidently pushing the limits of animation.

Summary: Genius
Comment: Pixar makes amazing movies, and this book shows the average Joe why. Brimming with awe-inspiring pre-production artwork, you just have to love everything this studio does. A great book for the best movie of 2008.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Over average Pixar's "art of" series book
Comment: Although most Pixar's "art of" series of books are very good to excellent, this one is just slightly over a fair rating. The book is full of artwork from several of Pixar's artists, a lot of very early works from pencil to digital (in this case, a lot more digital works than previous movies), and to my surprise extremely few watercolour.
It lacks some of the other design and concept, and even evolution of works, from other excellent Pixar books such as The Art of Finding Nemo. There are fair description of character evolution, few construction, and a fair converage of the work from concept to final stages.
The book is, however, a must for any Pixar enthusiast, and since the movie is one of the Pixar's best, this leverages the book to a fine piece of artwork.

Summary: mmmmm......
Comment: Mix feelings about this one.
The info its great like always and its nice to read. But the pictures, although many and beatiful, they are not so stricking as other publications such as the art of the incredibles, the art of ratatouille, ect.
Nice to own though.

Summary: The "E" in Wall.E stands for Excellent
Comment: The "Art of ---- " books that are published in connection with the release of (mostly) animated films have evolved over the years from expensive, large format, coffee table smashers to smaller (and thankfully less expensive) formats. However, the artwork between the covers of the latest generation of these books is no less lush. In the tradition of "Art of..." books, The Art of Wall.E documents the development of the characters and story line through a wealth of drawings that range from thumbnails to painstakingly executed paintings. It seems that in making these movies no possible detail is overlooked with the very talented folks at Pixar sweating even the smallest of them. If you enjoyed the movie, owning the book is a great way to enrich and prolong the experience.
