Nuleo The Puppet Channel: The Art of Frozen Review by Nuleo The Puppet

Hello everybody and welcome to my Blog!

I shall introduce myself, my name is Nuleo and i'm addicted to movies, anime, games, art figures and everything related to animation.

I've decided to create this blog in order to share with you my collection and to make some nice reviews.

For my first review I’ve decided upon a book quite recent... “The Art of Frozen”.

But I have to warn you that if you don't like spoilers you must first watch the movie and then read the book. That’s important.... oh how I hate spoilers.
We can begin by talking about the author. Every book written by Solomon is impressive. I have a few more that he wrote and I will make some reviews about them as well.

Now for the cover art. It isn't that bad, but there are books with nicer and artistic covers. this one seems like the two characters, Anna and Elsa, are twins and it relates Elsa to some ice-type environment? But Anna to some jungle ... all that green? Awkward. Knowing about all the beautiful illustrations inside the book I would expect a different cover picture.
But upon opening the book, what can we see. We have an introduction and some explanations about the original story until it became the story we know. there are lots of pages with dark background, which is strange for a book based on a movie with light blue colors, snow, northern places.... I would prefer lighter colors. The book has a lot of storyboards, which is interesting to realize all the differences from the movie. Next we can marvel upon the architecture, a few color studies and some clothing that came to inspire the movie style.

I personally prefer seeing character drawings and designs. Fortunately the movie has enough for us to treat ourselves with some character art. Although there are some sketches and expression poses regarding Elsa and Anna that they could've given more relevance.
We’ve seen a lot about how the characters were before they turned into their final versions and how much different Elsa’s hair was, it had kind of a Mohawk which is interesting i guess. I’m just glad they've changed it...honestly.

Then there's reference to the song clip "love is an open door" near the end of the book...why is that I don't know nor I understand.

But long story short, it's a great and important book, seeing that frozen was one of the most money making animated movies recently. The movie is gorgeous and so is the book.
In my opinion there are too much pages with storyboards and I would've changed them for some character art. The art studies and background designs are all there, the characters design are there, the visual is there... it's a great book. There’s a lot more pro's rather than cons and if you're a fan of the movie just go ahead and buy it! And even if you aren't but enjoy animation, it's a really cool book to own. And if you study animation as well then here's a great reference book!

My score is..... 85 percent
