"If you liked Zootopia and (like me) you love seeing what goes into
making a movie, you'll love this book. It's filled with concept art
and stories about how the movie came to be: for instance, it
started off as a spy caper featuring a bunny spy. There's so much
thought that went into the design of everything from buildings to
vehicles to clothing, and this book gives you the opportunity to
get a closer look at it all. There's a chapter on each of the
sections of Zootopia, like Tundratown and Little Rodentia-perfect
for poring over those blink-and-you-missed-it details from the
film."

"I had very little expectations one way or the other from it, but
wound up enjoying Disney's latest animated feature immensely, which
made digging into The Art Of Zootopia even more of a delight. As
we've come to expect with these lovely hardcover tomes, it's packed
with design and development artwork and insight into the creation
of the film."

"A fantastic companion book to a fantastic movie...The Art of
Zootopia is such a treat in the way that it not only revisits
the movie's delightfully heartwarming characters and fantastic art,
but gives us an engaging look at what went into the making of
Zootopia. The book starts with author Jessica Julius describing the
movie's original story pitch - a 1960s spy story - and how it
evolved over four years into the modern day tale of underdogs,
prejudice, and fighting for justice for all. She gives us the scoop
on how the characters were developed (balancing a feminine yet
tough, naive yet sharp, optimistic yet challenged bunny cop isn't
so easy!), shows us amazing "sets" I don't even remember in the
fast-moving film, and she lets us in on all kinds of fun details,
like the fact that it took eight months to get the various animals'
fur just right (color, texture, and direction of fur growth takes
more contemplation than I realized). We are also privy to many
sketches and scenes that were eventually cut from the film...The
Art of Zootopia is both a captivating companion book to the
movie, as well as a stand-alone coffee table book that doesn't need
any knowledge of the movie to be appreciated."
