Pixar films are many things - heartfelt, nuanced adventuresome, timeless - but above all they are funny. The pages of this book showcase a crated selection of gags and story ides from the last twenty-five years of filmmaking, from Toy Story to The Good Dinosaur, including iconic moments as well as inside jokes that never made it to the screen. The drawings, doodles, and storyboards in this book reveal the moment a spark of an idea takes shape and turns into something the world can enjoy. Welcome to the Pixar story room.

Like many of the Pixar art books, this one suffers from a lack of information. While it's great to see a book entirely dedicated to gag concept art, it would have been nice to get context or more behind-the-scenes tidbits.

As is, the art itself is chuckle-worthy with a few surprisingly irreverent pieces. Let's just say that I would hesitate to show a couple of pages to younger Pixar fans.

I would only recommend purchasing this if you're a die-hard Pixar fan, and even then I'd only buy it used at a much lower price.
