The Art of The Croods Hardcover – March 15, 2013

The media could not be loaded. The Art of the Croods is one of my top favourite artbooks for this year.Every page is a luscious display of gorgeous art. There are plenty of fun and wonderful character designs and sketches. The environment art are filled with inviting colours covering exotic locations. You know that heightened sense of awareness you get when you're traveling overseas? I feel a bit like that just from looking at the background art. It's a beautiful colourful world.Creature designs are real fun and you get to see the many different ways of creating cute. There are a lot of cross species mix and match which somehow reminds me of creatures from Avatar The Last Airbender but the style here is much different. And there are the flora designs of all the places in the movie. There are a lot of details to take in.Chris Sander's on board as director but you won't see much of his art. However, you'll see art from Carter Goodrich, Dominique Louis, Shane Prigmore, Christophe Lautrette and many other talented artists. The art director is Paul Duncan. The art team is amazing.This book is a treat to the visual senses.Highly recommended.Do not miss out on this.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

I just received mine today with many other books i ordered, this one really stood out from the lot. It's a wonderful, colorful book to look at and really inspiring. Plenty of beautiful environment layouts. Needless to give an in depth review since other reviewers did. One of my best Artbook this year. I hope that upcoming publishers will take this one as a reference to make their next artbook. ...

If you are a fan of The Croods, this is a must own book! This book is full of gorgeous concept art, character development and creation, and storyboards and design process. Incredibly cheap for what you get, especially if you use Amazon Prime.

Abbadi Store was great to work with. The book is amazing. I love all the art work. Could not be happier with their service and email responses. Thank you.

As a movie, "The Croods" is my new favorite! And this book is packed full of amazing concept art and sketches. Before you judge a book by it's cover and write off "The Croods" as being too strange/odd/weird/"out there", give it a chance! The movie is a must see and the book is a must own!!

Packed with concept art, backgrounds. I enjoyed the movie and really liked the backgrounds. Bought this book to see how DreamWorks came up with the look.

I really liked the book, it's a great job super competent.Like: Booklet, Cover, Illustrations, Quality Paper, Art in itselfDislike: I missed seeing the design process more than the illustrations themselves, as in "Art Of the Planet 51", where they had to color palettes of the characters, but nevertheless loved the book!

This book is BEAUTIFUL!!! by far one of my favorite art book from all my collections. The colors and and painted styles are all amazing. Truly worth every penny.
