Klaus: The Art of the Movie

Very detailed and dives into the process of the movie. Well, the book came shrink wrapped in plastic so the covers weren’t dirty. This book is a must have for anyone wanting to learn more about what went into making this film.

It always amazed me why this book stayed so expensive ($200). It was never introduced to the market as a typically priced "Art of" book. I was fortunate to have attended the panel of the creators of the film at the CTN Animation Expo just last year. And afterwards, I really anticipated it. My anticipation grew even more because my search online for any pictures of the inside of the book was no where to be found. Not even those Youtuber's who review art of books books had it. Well, it finally arrived to Amazon from an outside trusted seller I am very familiar with called "Stuart Books" for half the price ($95). So I bought it. When it arrived I noticed it was brand new and a first edition. I must say that its a beautifully made book from the cover to the content inside. But really not $200 justified. Now, that being said, if I was to rate this as a College text book for animators and content creators like myself, then yes, its well worth $200. Why? Because the lessons on how they created the film is invaluable. So good for students and enthusiast. So you have to decide whats important to you. Do you want an expensive coffee table "Art of" book? Or do you want to truly take advantage of all the techniques invaluable lessons this book has to offer?

My daughter is obsessed with Klaus, she was so excited when she found that this book even existed. There really isn’t much available out there as far as Klaus merchandise goes so this was a no-brainer. As an artist and an amateur animator she really appreciated all the work that went into the movie, so being able to see some of that process in the book was extra special for her. She loved being able to see the character development transitions as well as every other detail the about the movie the book goes into. Since I don’t know anything about animation I know I can’t fully appreciate what it must have taken to create the movie, but she sure does.

This book is gorgeous, inside and out. The book encompasses all aspects of the art with a ton of added information and details about the movie's visual creation.The book is heavy - that's a great thing. The cover is substantial, beautiful, and feels nice. The pages within are thick and sturdy. Overall it's a wonderful book

The book remained intact and without any scratches or squished corners which I was initially worried over. So props to Amazon Delivery for getting this carefully delivered. The book itself is everything I ever wanted to know about Klaus and the thought process behind it. It was worth getting and worth studying on doing traditional 2d animation with modern animation programs.

Gorgeous book about an amazing film. It gives so much bts art and even shows their line of thinkingfor designs to ease lroduction, this truly is a must have for any modern animation lover. 💖

This book is a great companion piece to a what in my opinion as I'm writing this, still an underrated movie. It's a glimpse of what was in the mind of It's creators. A solid, colorful, and beautiful slice of what I consider one if the best animated project since the Disney glory days. (I mean the Robin hood Aladin, lion king era)

Always great to own an art book for one of the most visually stunning movies of the decade, and Klaus' definitely delivers. From breakdowns to their lighting program to the fact that they had to figure out how to convey characters personalities with just their *hands,* if you like animation you NEED to own this book.
