Many years after PIXAR had made its successful sequel to "Toy Story," rumors circulated high and low that a "Toy Story 3" was in the works. This film at one point was scheduled as a non-PIXAR sequel when Disney and PIXAR had a falling out, but when new leadership managed to bring PIXAR back into the company, PIXAR was able to stop the 'imposter' and resume plans for their own idea.Charles' Solomon's look into PIXAR is a gem in that during the first pages of the book, it takes fans and readers back, to examine a little of the first two films, before the creative team delves into development of the toy's latest adventure. It is interesting seeing how times have evolved, as on one opening page, we see two color studies. One is from 1994 done in pastels, and one is from 2008 done in a digital paint program.
The book is a trove of color studies, character concepts, clay sculptures, and really gives, to me, one of the most thorough analysis of a PIXAR film in a long time. Some of the making-of books seem a bit hodge-podge, but this has an underlying narrative that gets you into the heads of those at PIXAR, as well as their latest creation.
