PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Attention to Books of Interest


Okay, sure, I'll admit it.  I don't usually tout books like this one.  But The Art of the Croods is different.  It has foreword by Nicolas Cage!  So how could I resist?  It's a short foreword, but there is it.  Besides, Cage voices Grug, the star of the film.  Well, maybe not the star to some of you, but a huge role, nevertheless.  The art in this coffee-table book is gorgeous, and if you liked the movie, you might want to grab this.

Amazon.com: The Art of the Croods (9781781164112): Noela Hueso: Books: The Croods takes us back to the beginning, to a previously undiscovered era known as the Croodacious - a time when Mother Nature was still experimenting and the flora and fauna we know today hadn't evolved yet. Trying to find their evolutionary niche are The Croods, a family who must adapt to survive after their cave home is destroyed.


The Art of The Croods traces the evolution of the comedy adventure movie with over 400 pieces of concept art, character sketches, storyboards and digital paintings, along with interviews with the key animation talent.
