Description

Bold and beautiful, this volume presents hundreds of film stills from the Pixar archives in a stunning colour spectrum. By viewing these images outside of their usual context, it becomes crystal clear how each frame tells a story. Bound into gorgeous and giftable format, The Color of Pixar encapsulates everything there is to love about the studio - the attention to detail, the playful characters, and the sheer scope of their work over 20 years of iconic feature films.
