The Art of DreamWorks Animation, Hardcover

Founded in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen, Dream Works Animation instantly became a world-renowned animation studio with blockbuster franchises including Shrek, Madagascar, and Kung Fu Panda. Though its earliest films, such as The Prince of Egypt, feature traditional hand-drawn cel animation, Dream Works soon forayed into claymation with Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, and pioneered advanced computer animation with films such as Antz, Shark Tale, and How to Train Your Dragon. Brimming with concept art, preproduction designs, and char-acter sketches, Dream Works Animation marks the studio's 20th anniversary and offers unprecedented behind-the-scenes access into its archives. An introduction by Dream Works cofounder Katzenberg provides insider perspective on the studio's most popular films, as does running commentary from artists and direc-tors on all of Dream Works' 30 films to date.
