Tag: The Art of The Mitchells Vs. The Machines

I was working at Walt Disney World when they were phasing out hand-drawn animation. The word started out as a rumor when The Little Mermaid was released and graduated to a poorly kept secret when The Lion King hit. Around that time Toy Story came out and ushered in an entirely new look for animated films. The Mitchells Vs. The Machines is a movie that is as big of a leap forward in animation as that one. It’s original, timely, has a story that will appeal to anyone, and a look that will dazzle the senses. The Art of The Mitchells Vs. The Machines is an oversized book that breaks down the inspiration, production, and artwork for the key elements from the film.
