In setting out to make The Princess and the Frog, John Lasseter turned to the talents of the veteran animation artists who had been instrumental in creating the hand-drawn Disney films of decades past, but whose unique talents had largely been overlooked since the advent of computer animation. With these artistson board, as well as a crew of ambitious young talent eager to learn the tricks of this old, but not forgotten trade, the team accomplished an increasingly rare feat - a beautifully hand-drawn animated feature. This remarkable volume features the lush concept art and illustrations that inspired the film's animators, including character designsm storyboards, full-color pastels, and intricate scene sketches, and brims with insights from its creators. Quotes from the directors, artists, and designers speak to the challenges of creating and working with the movie's cast of engaging characters - from the city's famed French Quarter to the musical alligators of the Bayou - and detail how they carefully constructed an original version of New Orleans in the 1920's. Join seasoned animation writer Jeff Kurtti as he explores the magical world of The Princess and the Frog through the lens of the filmmakers who made it all happen.”
