After Toy Story, Ratatouille, W.A.L.L.•E and other blockbusters, where else could Pixar Animation Studios go but UP? Their latest film is a heartwarming and hilarious coming-of-age story--about a 78-year-old widower. Carl Fredrickson (voiced by Ed Asner) feels that life has passed him by until a twist of fate takes him on a journey across the globe to fight beasts and villains and to finally live his life to the fullest. The first Pixar film to be released in 3-D, the highly anticipated Up is set to be released in Australia on the 4 June, 2009. The Art of Up is the latest in the successful Pixar animation series and bears a strong resemblance to past books. It contains more than 250 pieces of concept art developed for this imaginative film, including storyboards, full-colour pastels, digital and pencil sketches, character studies, colour scripts and more. Quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team discuss the artwork, expound on the challenges of working in 3-D, and bottle the over-the-top creativity at the admired studio.
