Review: Unreal - Full of great information and images
Review: More intimate than Disney ‘The Art of…’ books - When I ordered this back in 2017, there had already been many glossy Disney ‘The Art of…’ books, I’m sure you’re all aware of, and I was expecting something similar. However… ‘The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox’ turned out to be much more intimate, reflecting the handcrafted nature of stop-motion animation. The book is more compact than Disney’s oversized volumes, but the attention to detail is beautiful. It rests nicely between the grandiose of Disney’s offerings and the equally compact ‘The Illustrators Series’. Some photos help highlight the different scales used for the models, while others like the characters' eyes on sticks, and the fabric swatches, helping you appreciate how carefully the film was put together, and how the color palette and textures were crafted. Just like the film, one of my favorite sections is the ‘whack-bat’ scene. The pages devoted to this sequence show how much went into creating the scene for a sport that doesn’t even exist, but you’d think it does, however chaotic the rules! There is an inclusion of email exchanges between the team revealing how ideas evolve, highlighting the close collaboration that shaped the film. The book also features interviews with Liccy Dahl, Roald Dahl’s widow, and Wes Anderson’s brother, Eric, giving insights into both the story and the creative process. Eric’s own web site is worth a graze too. I love to dip into this book every so often, not just to reminisce about the film, but also the process they took, and the overall design of the book, the layout and format makes it one of my favourite books.
