This cover is the most beautiful one of all the Pixar art books I've owned. That pastel drawing was done by Ralph Eggleston, production designer.
This book will only enhance that feel-good feeling you have after you watch the movie, probably several times if you have kids.
There are a lot of pastel storyboards drawn for lighting studies. They are incredibly beautiful and you can almost feel the texture to them. The colour theory used for the movie is explained to you by Ralph Eggleston.
The pages are filled with character studies, set designs and lighting studies. Most of the panels were captioned to explain the art direction behind. You'll feel as if you're going on a tour at the Pixar studio, looking at art with artists talking to you.
This book gives you the movie.
This is almost a required purchase if you like Finding Nemo or just beautiful art.

Hi,
I'm working on doing a mural of finding nemo for a friend's baby room - she wants an underwater scene from the movie - with coral and fish but she wants it to look like the movie. From what I see in your pictures, it looks like the art in the book is more painting like and not digital looking as in the movie. I wanted to buy the book, but I can't really tell from the pictures, and was hoping you could help me with that. It wouldn't make sense to buy it unless it looks like the movie art, because she's very particular that it looks exactly like the movie. I'd be grateful if you could help.
Thank you!

There are no film stills in this book. I do not know of any movie picture book for the movie as well.
You might want to get the Finding Nemo DVD for reference if you don't already have it.

Hi there, thanks for the great review! I just bought this book and it's really beautiful, I really love it ,the pastel drawings are amazing. I was wondering what other Pixar art books you would recommend the most? I've just order Toy Story since it's available again, and unfortunately Monsters Inc. is just too expensive, so excluding those, which do you think are the best? Thanks! x

Hey Parka, just thought I'd notify you that this book seems to now have gone out of print. Amazon USA and Amazon UK both don't sell the book themselves, they are only sold on the marketplace.
Thank God I bought it when I did! Thanks to yourself of course!
