Book Description
This luxuriously illustrated gift book celebrates the spirit and beauty of Hawaiian culture and reveals the heart-warming stories behind the making of the film. Relating the personal experiences of the team who brought Disney's newest animated feature to life in a form reminiscent of richly illustrated classic storybooks, this volume will delight all lovers of art and dreamers of paradise who want a peak into the moviemaking journey.
"Ohana means family. And family means nobody gets left behind...or forgotten!"
- Lilo (and later, Stitch) in "Lilo & Stitch"
The book is comprised of concept art, and art-in-progress from the development of the movie, as well as personal stories of the concept and movie's creation, told by the creators of the film. There's a genuine sense of love for the characters that's prevalent throughout the book, and the theme of simplicity, and a personal connection with the audience pervades the entire structure of this book.
From Chris Sanders' first drawing of Stitch, to some really zany sketches for products based on the likeness of Dean deBlois, there's lots of stuff that's both interesting because of its relation to the movie, and interesting because it's so ... off the wall.
This isn't a typical making-of book where they take you step by step through the process of how the film was created. Instead we get many short essays from the creators of the film themselves telling their experiences on making Lilo & Stitch. It's a terrific idea that reminds us of the human element in creating a film. Even better, the essays are genuine and give us little insights into the minds of the individual creators.
If you loved the movie, you will find this book insightful, and entertaining. If you have any interest in Disney, animation in general or Lilo & Stitch you will definitely get something worthwile out of this book.
NY: Disney, 2002. 1st. 4to (11-13"), 128pp, over 200 color illustrations, wraps. The only book on this lovely Disney animated feature. Filled with visual development art, production designs, storyboards, and background paintings. This volume is made up of first-person essays by some of the creators, including Roy Disney, Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois, Andreas Deja, and Paul Felix.
EXCELLENT CONDITION.
