Book Legion continues our Holiday Gift Guide with  The Art of the Disney Princess Hardcover book from Disney Editions

You can purchase this book today on Amazon.com

Product Description: Every little girl has a favorite Disney Princess–and for that matter, every grown-up girl, too! In The Art of the Disney Princess, Disney artists, designers, illustrators, and animators from around the world have re-imagined their favorite princesses and portrayed them in a variety of mediums. Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, and Cinderella are newly incarnated in water color, pastel, oil paint, colored pencil, mixed media, and computer graphics pieces that range from the traditional to the unconventional. This artwork has been created especially for this museum-quality book, which is sure to delight art lovers, Disney collectors, and any prince or princess who ever believed that fairytales do come true.

Our Recommendations: The Art of the Disney Princess is a great coffee table style book that offers various artist interpretations of the Disney Princesses.   At first we thought it might be production art from the Princess films, but we were pleasantly surprised to find all of these unique and beautiful works inside.    It could be a girlfriend, wife or daughter..this would make a fantastic gift for all ages.

Product Description: With an introduction by John Lasseter-and very little else in the way of words-this second book in The Artist Series lavishly showcases the most brilliant animation created by such luminaries as Ub Iwerks, Norm Ferguson, Ben Sharpsteen, Hamilton Luske, Dick Huemer, Grim Natwick, Art Babbitt, Fred Moore, Bill Tytla, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Marc Davis, John Lounsbery, Ward Kimball, Eric Larson, Les Clark, Wolfgang Reitherman, John Sibley, Bill Justice, Clyde Geronimi, Ted Berman, Glen Keane, Andreas Deja, Eric Goldberg, Mark Henn and Tony Bancroft. The artwork-much of which has never before been published-offers the opportunity to marvel at the those magical lines of pencil that brought life to so many unforgettable Disney characters. Animation represents a rare opportunity to enjoy a glimpse into the truly spectacular trove of treasures from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library.

Our recommendations: This hardcover book is an absolute masterpiece.  From the moment we opened it up we knew it was perfect for the holiday gift guide.  We’re huge fans of animation…and most certainly of Disney animation.  This book is just cover to cover animation cels, sketches, line drawings etc.  Its absolutely beautiful and would make a very classy Xmas gift.
