What did you like about the book? This book takes a look at the many villains of Disney/Pixar films. The book is broken into chapters featuring various categories of villain: “Oh So Vain,” “All in the Family,” “Game of Thrones,” “Basic Instincts,” and “Just Plain Mean” among others. The book includes concept art, final film frames, and sketches. Each main villain is given an introduction which includes the film’s release date, director, voice talent and animator. “Fun Facts” are also scattered throughout, such as “Hans Conried played the voice of both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling.” There are also photographs of Disney animators and voice talent. Anyone interested in animation, especially Disney and Pixar style, will find this one hard to put down.
