| Lilo & Stitch: Collected Stories from the Film's Creators : 5 of 5 | |

 When I first saw this book on Amazon, I didn't even realize it was part of the usual Disney art book series. It's certainly the most unusual of the art books I've read so far, but I enjoyed it just as much as the best of them! The book is divided into several chapters, each written by one of the folks who worked on Lilo & Stitch, and each of them tell a story about their experiences working on the movie. In many cases, they don't even talk much about the film itself, but instead tell a funny anecdote or a favorite memory that helped them come up with an idea, but all of them write in a very personal style that feels like they're talking to you over coffee. Of course, every page is filled with beautiful artwork - the ratio of production stills to backgrounds and sketches is perfect, since the truly amazing watercolor backgrounds of the movie really deserve to shine! The story sketches are fantastic, too, with most of them drawn by the story's creators - it's fascinating how the look of the film was clearly defined so early into the process of making the film. Rather than the usual huge hardback, this book is just a large format paperback, but the quality of the paper really makes the colors pop! I completely enjoyed this unusual way to present a Disney art book - I'm going to re-watch the movie as soon as I can!
