Those of you who follow me on instagram are aware of my exciting discovery on Wednesday! I had stopped at the store to buy myself some flowers (well, I was picking up a couple grocery items and grabbed a bunch of flowers for my cart) and when I came home there was a box on my doorstep! I was slightly afraid I had ordered things in my sleep because I LOVE ordering online these days (the 40 hour work week begs for easy chores!) and had no recolition of what I had purchased.
When I opened it up it was The Art of Frozen and I was giddy like a five-year-old (typical). Turns out one of my best friends was volunteering at the library (yes, she really is that adorable) and she came across this book. She knows my obsession pretty well (like I make us listen to the frozen soundtrack when we play games and drink beer) and so she secretly bought this and shipped it to me! Eek!
Little did she know she may have begun a new obsession (she just rolled her eyes if she was reading this!) – all of the Disney’s “Art of” Books! I had no idea they were out there and included so much history, drawings, sketches, brainstorming, and time. I love anything behind the scenes because it shows you a different perspective and opens your eyes to all the work that goes into movie production (like we are collecting all of the Harry Potter Ultimate Editions packed with extra goodies!) This book is incredible! the quotes, the story, their process trying to pick the right point in history, their trip to Norway! it is all wonderful
DO YOU OWN ANY OF THE DISNEY ART OF BOOKS?
And fun little tidbit of information that I learned in this book – when animating Elsa sing “Let it Go” they watched Idina Menzel sing it! Her passionate and heartfelt performance helped them nail the scene!
Oooooo I feel like I need that book! I love reading about all the behind the scenes tid bits
i just peed my pants. okay not really. but i LOVE this. i've seen some of the other disney art books and i want all of them! my disney heart is full.
We LOVE, love this book! We are collectors of "the Art of" books. I'm not even sure how many Tyler has at is office. He got The Art of Frozen for Christmas and we recently picked up The Art of Cloudy with a Chance of Meat Balls 2. It's basically inevitable that we will own all the Disney "art of" books. They are amazing!
I didn't even know these kinds of books existed! I definitely need to get my hands on one 🙂
YOU ARE SO CUTE!! Joy is so radiant in your smile and style. Thank you for spreading love across the blogging community.
That is so cool! I love books like that.
So sweet! I don't own any of them but the page with the family reminds me of Disney's Anastasia! It's my favorite Disney movie ever.
WOW! This book is beautiful! I'm with you on the Frozen soundtrack. My boyfriend and I cannot stop listening to it! Drives everyone around us totally nuts! I can't stop looking through all the "Art of" books now! My boyfriend and I are both Disney annual pass holders and we go once a week to pin trade! We watched Tangled on our first date so I might have to get the Art of Tangled!!
target for the win!! i love the threshold brand from target! and yes!! i think you would so enjoy it!
I already wanted to see this movie, but seeing your post wants to make me see it even more! And I may now have to start getting the "Art of.." Disney books. Love!
