It’s big, it’s heavy—it’s Hyperion! It feels great to hold in your hands, and it even includes a special section printed on paper resembling watercolor paper. The images are large (even the smallest ones are detailed enough to be admired closely), the text is easy to read, and the layouts are perfect! This edition also has a fancy ribbon jacket with the book's title in golden letters, although my copy, unfortunately, was missing it. ★★★★★ Art Hercules is one of Disney's most stylized animations, and the concept art here not only complements it but lets you see the visual development in action. There are many production stills, work-in-progress artwork, and, best of all, the initial designs that helped shape the animation style and final character look. A particularly enjoyable addition is the set of caricatures of producers and team members drawn in the Hercules style and universe, which captures the humorous camaraderie among the team artists. ★★★★★ Text From the beginning, I was intrigued by the book's title, The Art of Hercules: The Chaos of Creation. What chaos? Was Disney really going to share its insider struggles? Hercules is one of my favorite Disney animations; it was legen... wait for it... dary! LEGENDARY! But was it truly that challenging to produce? So, I was hooked even before I started reading. The book opens with the line: "In the beginning, there was... CHAOS!" And you see Pain and Panic causing mischief! Intriguing, isn't it? For me, this was one of those books I could hardly put down. It’s not text-heavy but full of humor, with character sketches often breaking the fourth wall to speak directly to the reader. You’ll discover how hiring one man to diversify the animation style created "chaos" and how the team managed to tame it. It’s an exciting read! The icing on the cake is the final page, filled with fun stats: how heavy Meg’s hair is, how many calories Herculade contains, and more. ★★★★☆ Price The book’s price is significantly higher compared to other Disney/Hyperion books, even on the pre-owned market. As of October 2024, it cost me nearly $60 (including delivery and tax) to get a “Very Good” quality copy, and I can’t say that the price often decreases. ★★★★★ Overall Impressions The Art of Hercules: The Chaos of Creation is undoubtedly one of my favorites in the Disney/Hyperion book collection. If you’re a fan of Hercules, artbooks, and a good story about the making of an epic, humor-filled heroic adventure, this book is for you! Review: Large Book, Beautiful Artwork for Disney's Hercules - I love my Art Of books and I've been collecting some of the Disney ones. I finally got my hands on The Art of Hercules and it doesn't disappoint. This is a large art book that could double as a coffee table book. If you've seen Hercules, then you know it has a very specific art direction. You can read about and see the many concepts for characters and locations that led up to the final selected decisions. Note: This is published by Hyperion while the current ones all seem to be Chronicle books. This means this book is not the same size as the other Disney art books. If you like your Art Of books, this is definitely one to add to your collection. Recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #666,175 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #950 in Art of Film & Video #5,095 in Art History & Criticism (Books) #8,347 in Movies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 80 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of Hercules: The Chaos of Creation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eG7G-avjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heroic Book with Muscles *by L***U on November 2, 2024* ★★★★★ Book Design This time, I'd like to start with the book design because it’s outstanding.
