Must Have January 26, 2007
This is a must have for the "Cars" collector. It is an easy read, but the information provided by Mike Wallis was wonderful to have. We're extremely excited to add this book to our expanding "Cars" collection.
The Art of Cars January 16, 2007

I purchased this book for my husband after he had seen the film. It is a very well designed book with excellent pictures and information on the film and the story behind it. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Quality pastel renders par usual with this art of something Pixar. The color theory alone in this book is worth every penny. Great stuff to continue to inspire us fellow artists. One regret, they need to start putting some of the 3-D stills in the book since their work is unlike anything else out there. Overall, a must buy for the artist reference library.
The story of a movie from concept to artwork August 16, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The new animated movie CARS comes at you all finished and complete. This is how it came about.
John Lasseter, founder and VP of Pixar, director of the movie talks about how tired he was after nine straight years of directing Pixar's first three feature films. So he, wife and their five boys loaded themselves in an RV, dipped their feet into the Pacific ocean and headed east with the intent of dipping their feet into the Atlantic. One day in North Carolina they were eating a taco. Yes, a taco in a fast food place. A taco in the home of barbecue. So they left immediately and found where the locals go for barbecue. Once there he realized that there is a world in America outside of the fast food chains. There's a history, a culture that exists in this country. He eventually got back to California, walked into the studio and said, 'Let's make our car movie.'
The book starts with that. It is the path from 'Let's make our car movie,' to the showing at the theater. It's the story development. It's the sketches as they develop what these cars, signs, scenery, and story are all about. It's a fascinating view into the inside of a movie.
