Wonderful, vibrant and a bit quirky Parka [[VIDEOID:mo3R8XGZ82AO5GA]]Here's the artbook for director Jorge R Gutierrez's 3D animated film The Book of Life. Gutierrez was born in Mexico City and raised in Tijuana, and in this 192-page hardcover artbook, you'll see that the inspiration for this film comes from his hometown and the rich history of Mexico.Highlights of the book are the designs for the characters and environment.As far as character designs go, The Book of Life definitely has some of the weirdest and quirkiest designs compared to other 3D animated movies. Their costumes are heavily decorated and lushly coloured. For exampl. gbinnola said Gorgeous, beautiful and mesmerizing. After seeing the movie, my daughter, who is an illustrator, told me about how most animated movies usually have an "Art of" book that comes out soon after the film. Being a lifelong lover of Mexico and its culture, especially all things Dios de los Muertos, I immediately checked Amazon, and two days later, my book arrived! This is a large, beautifully rendered book worthy of any prominent spot in my home. I've been taking my time and going through a few pages per day, and it has been such a delight. "If you only buy one "Art of" book this year" according to Andy H.. make it this one.There's a review here with a video of a guy flipping through the whole book so no one's gonna top that, but I'm just adding my two cents that this book is gorgeous and a must-have for anyone in visual development. It's amazing to see the intricacy and level of detail that went into every aspect of this film's design. What's most striking to me is how closely the final film actually stuck to the style of the static art. It's common to see stylized concept art that gets watered down and homogenized in the final product - not so with The Book of Life. You can tell a lot of heart
