The Art of Home

The media could not be loaded. Here's the beautiful artbook for DreamWorks Animation's Home.This is a large 168-page hardcover artbook actually has two publishers, namely Insight Editions and Titan Books. The page count is listed wrongly on some websites as 156 pages.The book collects the character designs, environment art, storyboards and commentary.There actually aren't a lot of character designs, relatively speaking when compared to other sections. Well for the aliens we only have the cute plush-toy lookalike Oh and Captain Smek. And rest are main of up Tip, her mum and Pig the cat. The human designs are alright, and nowadays they all look pretty much the same in 3D animated movies, especially female characters. The more interesting ones are the aliens of course.The other designs are for the Boov alien motherships and their smaller bubble spaceships, the red flying car, and many other miscellaneous graphics and symbols.Emil Mitev's expansive digital scene paintings are the highlight of the book. The highly detailed wonderfully realised landscapes are just awesome to look at. There are several locations in the movie, such as the main city, Paris, China, etc, and it's really cool to see how they are adapted in the movie. I always like checking out animation architecture styles.At the time of this writing, the film is not out yet so be aware that the book has lots of spoilers.Overall, it's a nice companion artbook to the film.(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

This is a fun book chock full of beautiful art work and insights on how they made the film home, with input from everyone from The Director, to Jim Parsons, and Adam Rex and everyone else involved in the show. Not only is the art beautiful, but you actually learn some things about the Boov that are never mentioned in the movie. There's even a Boov alphabet and certain words written in Boov all over the book!! Fun for fans of the movie and just animation nerds in general.

beautiful book!

Item arrived in excellent condition. Virtually brand new looking. The content is helpful for the aspiring artist, appreciative reader, and for those who enjoy the story magic making process.

I have a grandson with autism, he carries this with him all of the time. We are very pleased.

Loved this book. Production is of high quality extremely vivid colors and pictures.

Great book! A must!

Un très bel artbook d'un volume conséquent qui suit la lignée des précédents de Dreamworks. Ils savent décidément bien comment nous donner pleine satisfaction à lire ces ouvrages.De très beaux dessins et concepts très colorés, quelques color script et storyboards ainsi que des explications plutôt intéressante.Pas besoin d'un anglais parfait pour apprécier ce livre donc si vous avez apprécié le film vous adorerez l'art book!
