I thought this was a fabulous book of concept and fan-type art. I never do this (although I talk about it a lot), but I bought a second copy so I could remove some of the pictures and put them out in my house.
I know!
I feel a little bad about cutting up a book. On the other hand (and you know that Sookie Stackhouse says there's always another hand), most of these renditions are not for sale anywhere. Since I spent all day Saturday tearing the internet apart looking for ...more

A Princess is more then just a pretty face, she is as brave as a lion, as clever as a fox, and as pure as snow. A Princess is all heart and loves unconditionally and is loved so in return. Many thousands of little girls around the world have grown up with the wish to become a princess. But being a Princess is not just having a gown, crown and castle, it is every little girl who has ever made a wish and believes in magic.

This book is more on fan art than concept art. That said, you won't see any sketches from original Disney artists. The illustrations of princess are based on the artists' interpretation. I don't recognise the names of any artists other than Glen Keane, who wrote the introduction.
The princesses included are Snow White, Tiger Lily, Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Mulan, Aurora, Jasmine, Cinderella and even the newest Princess Tiana from The ...more
A really interesting twist on the typical Disney art book, one that compiles a series of artist interpretations and re-imaginings of various Disney animated movies. It's like an experiment in fandom, or something that speaks to the universality of Disney movies and animation, and I dig it. There's a real diversity to the art; they speak of different cultures, mediums, and attitudes, so much so that it's easy to find something you like. I wasn't a huge fan of ALL the pieces, and it's not the sort...more
Okay, my favorite is the one where Prince Philip is under the sleeping spell and Aurora (in pants and boots, with a sword) breaks the spell.
Also, there's one where the Beast is a transformer and Belle is like a sci-fi lady in a yellow jumpsuit. Awesome.
I would not be opposed to having some of these hanging on my walls.

The art in here is absolutely gorgeous and I love the creativity shown. I am half tempted to buy a copy so I can pull out my favorites to frame, honestly. Beautiful. Check out some of the art here: http://parkablogs.com/content/book-revie...
absolutely beautiful art in the book. My ONLY issue was that they don't tell you which country each artist is from...you have to google it yourself to find out. That was a bit annoying, but overall a very inspiring book for and artist, or disney enthusiast.
Picked this up in Disneyland after flipping through it. Not much to read, but then reading's not the point. I enjoyed seeing some fresh takes on well-loved characters and themes, there is some inspiring stuff in there.
i'm not a particularly princess-y girl, but i did truly love some of these reimaginings of the traditional disney princess, especially the alphonse mucha-inspired set! can't go wrong with art noveau, i always say.
Wonderful - picked this up for my youngest, because she's in the all-about-princesses phase (it is a phase, right?), and found myself enjoying it just as I would any other art book.
For princess lovers of all ages. Look through this with your kids and see what they think of the different interpretations of the Disney princesses.
My favorite might be the sci-fi-ish Belle with a Transformeresque Beast, but the whole book is made of awesome. This just found its way onto my Christmas list.
Love the art in this book! My only complaint is I would have loved more of the artists' words for each piece.
so cool! different art of the princesses and explanations. yes, i know. disney? but not typical disney.
The Art of the Disney Princess was absolutely beautiful. All of the pieces were very well done and the artist statements were very interesting. I would recommend this to anyone interested in the Disney Princesses.
Creative and brilliant.
