Editorial Reviews Review “A fantastic companion book to a fantastic movie…_The Art of Zootopia_ issuch a treat in the way that it not only revisits the movie’s delightfullyheartwarming characters and fantastic art, but gives us an engaging look atwhat went into the making of Zootopia. The book starts with author JessicaJulius describing the movie’s original story pitch – a 1960s spy story – andhow it evolved over four years into the modern day tale of underdogs,prejudice, and fighting for justice for all. She gives us the scoop on how thecharacters were developed (balancing a feminine yet tough, naive yet sharp,optimistic yet challenged bunny cop isn’t so easy!), shows us amazing “sets” Idon’t even remember in the fast-moving film, and she lets us in on all kindsof fun details, like the fact that it took eight months to get the variousanimals’ fur just right (color, texture, and direction of fur growth takesmore contemplation than I realized). We are also privy to many sketches andscenes that were eventually cut from the film…_The Art of Zootopia_ is botha captivating companion book to the movie, as well as a stand-alone coffeetable book that doesn’t need any knowledge of the movie to be appreciated.” -Wink Books “If you liked Zootopia and (like me) you love seeing what goes into making amovie, you’ll love this book. It’s filled with concept art and stories abouthow the movie came to be: for instance, it started off as a spy caperfeaturing a bunny spy. There’s so much thought that went into the design ofeverything from buildings to vehicles to clothing, and this book gives you theopportunity to get a closer look at it all. There’s a chapter on each of thesections of Zootopia, like Tundratown and Little Rodentia-perfect for poringover those blink-and-you-missed-it details from the film.” -Geek Dad “I had very little expectations one way or the other from it, but wound upenjoying Disney’s latest animated feature immensely, which made digging intoThe Art Of Zootopia even more of a delight. As we’ve come to expect with theselovely hardcover tomes, it’s packed with design and development artwork andinsight into the creation of the film.” -A Site Called Fred About the Author Byron Howard, director of _Zootopia_, joined the Walt Disney Animation Studiosin 1994 and has served as an animator, designer, and supervising animator forsuch classic films as _Mulan_ and _Lilo & Stitch_.
