2012 Was actually quite surprising in the animation and movies department, we had Brave, the legend of korra, Rise of the Guardians, (wich is something I'm quite looking forward to see an artbook from), Cloud Atlas, The Hobbit, quite a year for the arts indeed!
Anyways my favorite artbooks were undoubtly "The art of Brave", "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles: Art & Design" and "The art of Paranorman", all absolutely terrific, they contain not only stunning concept art and a lot of eyecandy, but great insightfull information about how the movies were made. I especially loved Paranorman, it's a shame it didn't do well in the box office, the quality and ammount of effort put behind it just leaves me in awe and warms my heart.
