| Brother Bear: A Transformation Tale : 4 of 5 | |

 My pal Ernesto got me this wonderful book for my birthday, and it was truly fascinating to read! Disney usually produces an "art book" for each animated feature soon after its release, and while this book does contain lots of beautiful art, the text is what's so interesting. It follows the creation of the story of Brother Bear, describing in detail several other abandoned plots (all of which could have been fun to see). I was shocked to read about the incredible struggles this production went through to get the story right, and all the staff conflicts and squabbles involved. Considering this is a Disney book, it's cool that they didn't candy-coat how things happened - they even include some mean-spirited caricatures from the process! The artwork included is beautiful, with a good mix of production stills and pre-production paintings, and the physical book is really nice - hardcover with thick, sturdy pages that are enjoyable to turn. Now I'm really looking forward to the DVD, knowing what it took to make this movie!
