The Book of Life: Concept art = Movie

It took me several seconds to realize the first pic was concept art and not some altered version of the movie still. Holy crap.

What’s incredible about this is that when Gutierrez first made the announcement for the movie’s production, he said he was “tired of animated movies looking completely different from the concept art, and how the concepts were always more beautiful.“ and how he wanted to ”make an animated movie that looked exactly like the concept art”.

and he DID. And I have SO MUCH RESPECT FOR THAT. It’s literally jaw-dropping.

This came into my work today and it made me really happy, because it’s so perfect and there needs to be more of this.

Just think of the little blind kid who’s just learning to read Braille and they find this and think for the first time that something was made special for them, with them in mind, and here it is telling them that there are others like them and that you don’t need to see to still experience all the joys and beauties of the world. That color can be smelt and heard and felt as much as seen. That you are not experiencing the world in a lesser or incomplete way, but just differently, and difference is beautiful.

Bless this children’s book author from the bottom of my heart. Bless.
