demzpencils's review against another edition
5.0
Great collection of artwork and thoughts behind making this wonderful film. Loved to learn about how they studied silent film for the interactions and the takeaway from that era that contrary to standard story practices, Wall•E as our hero doesn't have to change in this story - He is simply so unique that we watch everyone else change around him simply by him being there.
Every single page is an artistic gem for anyone interested in visual development & design.

A beautiful collection of artwork from one of the best films ever made - Wall-E! I love reading about how they came up with the idea for the film, the reasoning behind different choices and how they wanted characters to look and act. It's so interesting seeing the story evolve from a drawing to digital to the big screen and seeing the story change with it.
Wall-E is a love story but not just between Wall-E and Eve, but between humans and the Earth. This story shows us what can happen if we don't love it enough to save it from us, to care for our planet. And that's why I love Wall-E so much. It's a visually spectacular film, but also a subtle warning woven into a dream.
The concept art is stunning and the things the team that worked on this film went through to come up with ideas - they even had someone from NASA visit to talk about the effect of gravity and how it changes people! I love how much research, thought and care goes into making Pixar films, and that's why these films are always amazing. I just wish they had included more art of space in this book, particularly the scene where Wall-E travels through space because it's so stunning! Amazing.

Of course I loved the peek into the concept art, but the written portions were just a little too self-congratulatory.
