Book Review: Art of Open Season

The Art of Open Season

I bought this book prior to watching the movie. It's slightly better than all of my Pixar art books. Mine was bought off Amazon US.

The hardcover book was housed in a protective cardboard cover box with two holes cut into it. Boog and Elliot peeked out the holes.

When you pull the book out of it's cover box, you'll notice that there's something different about this book from other art books. Goodies were packed everywhere in the book. They were post cards, posters, mini booklets and even stickers!

Tons of original sketches, movie stills and story boards filled the pages. The content was so vibrant and full of life. Captions and write up were short and nice to read. A scrapbook, of top notch quality, is perhaps a better description.

hi parka,

i was wondering if you have the usual flip through video on this book. i would like to add it to my collection, but the cost it quite considerable and i would like to have a better look at the designs. do you have any idea if it will come back into print? or do you think there will be no more runs? thanks for your blog, i have purchased all of my collection through your recommendations. cheers, rainer

I've posted the video again. For some strange reason, the previous video wasn't working.

Don't think this book will be reprinted again.You can try buying from the third party sellers on Amazon.
