I always love a good art book showing behind the scenes of movies or shows that I adore. It goes into depth on the beloved sequel with concept art and about the crew that worked on the movie. I loved reading every part of the book and the art was beautiful.

This art book is absolutely insane, the fact that they decided to put in the original script mainly focusing on Diane, is crazy. Very detailed, very funny.

out of fear (since the first one sold out and never got restocked) i got this and read it before the movie came out. dreamworks always kills it in the visual department, and i can’t wait to see the movie!!
