But what they don't realize is that these monsters scare children because they have to. It's their job. This superb film from Pixar Studios, the people who brought you <em>Toy Story, A Bug's Life</em>, and <em>Toy Story 2</em>, reveals the truth about monsters with the brilliant techniques that have earned them their reputation as a ground-breaking animation studio. This incredible body of artwork was commissioned from the top artists, illustrators, and animators in the industry and from it the ultimate visual approach of the film was defined. From sketches scribbled on napkins and quickly inked marker drawings, to finished oil paintings and fabulous pastel color scripts, this behind-the-scenes artwork reveals the elaborate creative process behind a blockbuster film. 1073863 1 10 2001 The Art of Monsters, Inc. total:24|5:19|4:4|3:1|2:0|1:0| 24 114 33 5 5 1 false false Tue Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 11 00:25:02 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 11 09:06:51 -0800 2009
