I'll preface this comment by saying that 2010 was a good year for animated movies. Can't say that there was a bad one in the bunch. Thus...
1. Art of Tangled: Two words: Glen. Keane. Love his work, and the movie was amazing. The background artwork was just stunning. The image of the kingdom with the lanterns was probably one of the most beautiful images I've seen.
2. Art of Toy Story 3: Well, I love all the Pixar art books, so this was a nice addition. I liked seeing familiar character designs, but then the new characters as well. And always a favorite: the color scripts.
3. Art of How to Train Your Dragon: This is kind of a first for me, as prior to this, I always wrote off Dreamworks movies as Pixar-wannabes. But this movie kind of proved me wrong, so I checked out the art book, and found it just as enjoyable as the Pixar art books. I liked all the different viking designs.
