## Description

desertcart.com: The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox: 9780847833542: Anderson, Wes: Books

Review: Read me says Fantastic Mr. Fox - If you're a fan of this legendary story that they made into a movie. This book is a great buy. Pictures are stunning and storyboard is amazing. Brought it for my 12 year old but still a fun read for adults as well.
Review: Fantastic in every way a book can be - This is book is wickedly joyful to read. But first a caveat:I love the Fantastic Mr. Fox movie and I've seen it probably more than a dozen times. Love blinds, they say. It provides vivid behind-the-scenes look at Wes Anderson's creative process for this movie. And tells the story of how the movie came to be. It goes through everything from what drew Wes to the story to how he came to acquire the rights to the story, the cast of main characters, the never-seen animation hands, a couple of cut scenes, etc. It shows how an already fascinating story can be jazzed up to engage the senses in every way possible. There are details that I missed watching the films several times, that come to life in this book. Like the text of the news paper article, which I imagined was just gibberish, but it turned out it's an engaging newspaper column written with a ton of wit and care for developing a complete character (image attached here). Such is the level of detail that went into making this movie and is beautifully chronicled here. The format is beautiful and works well without beating the reader over the head with tiresome details of the process. It intersperses interviews with spectacular stills and simple line sketches in an easy to follow format. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. Stop-motion students will smile in awe reading this book. Casual readers who love the movie won't be bogged down with technical details of rigs, sets and character costumes but will find themselves drawn to the artfulness and attention to detail that went into creating this work of art (the film and the book). Like many great works of art, the work screams of deep care and has a hand-made quality to it. The photos in the book are first-class quality and the writing invites the reader into this fantastic world of animated puppets, how they're given life and character and presence. The beautiful semi-glossy dust jacket covers a ravishingly colored hard cover that seems to come from the color of the sky in the opening shot of the film. And like the film itself, little about the design of the book seems merely accidental. I love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and Interesting
*by T***K on September 19, 2010*

First off, I love every part of the movie and I really like seeing how it was made. This book has a lot of great behind the scenes pictures and concept drawings. The pictures themselves are of pretty good quality. There are a couple of fuzzy pictures, but the vast majority are great. The drawings and paintings by Turlo are awe-inspiring and are a great addition. The text in the book is mostly comprised of general interviews about the movie and the book. I would have liked some interviews with the animators, modelers or designers showing how they made the puppets, animated them, or the artistic choices that were made. Showing pictures of armatures, but having text discussing why a certain voice was chosen makes the pictures and text seem disjointed. This isn't a major complaint though, as the pictures and interviews are interesting enough. If you are fanatical about this movie like I am, then you should certainly buy this book.
