This is an exceptional Art of ... book! The selection of art and how it is put together is beautiful. I also loved reading it! The description of the thought processes, tests, and changes that the animators went through gives great insight into the creation of this movie. It is a joy to read and look at.

This book is full of gorgeous concept art, but it is primarily visual and does not include the in-depth text that I expected. Even though other Disney art books share substantial details about the character development and storytelling processes, this book focuses on costume design and setting, sharing specific, self-contained quotes from creators without the detailed text that would synthesize aspects of the movie's development into an unfolding story.
I had hoped to learn about the different ideas that the creators considered before deciding on this one, and I expected a behind-the-scenes look into how the writers developed their narrative, but this book didn't go there at all. I picked up details here and there that came through as context for other things, but my curiosity is still unsatisfied. This is truly just an art book, and even though the quotes provide plenty of insight into the maturing characters and the kingdom of Arendelle, this wasn't nearly as eye-opening or interesting as the Frozen and Tangled art books.
Still, even though this book did not meet my expectations, I enjoyed it. I'm still giving it four stars, because it is a solid and enjoyable visual guide that is full of lovely art, interesting costume designs, and artists' insight into the deeper meaning and character symbolism behind the intricate details in different dresses, cloaks, traveling outfits, and capes. The sections on the visual settings are also interesting, filled with appealing art and details about how the artists researched naturally occurring vegetation from Norway to incorporate real-life details into their complex, richly animated fantasy land. I enjoyed this very much for what it was, and I will definitely look through it again.
I absolutely love this art book! Not only does it show detailed character costume concepts and designs, it also shows a breakdown of the musical sequences which I found really interesting! As an artist and Disney fan, I enjoyed reading all the details and meanings put behind each aspect of design. If you or someone you know is a fan of Frozen 2 or character design, you will definitely enjoy this book!
I was stuck on what art book to get for a long time. Recently i saw my friend bought herself one. So i went looking and i was on deciding to buy it. But frozen spoke out to me to get it. So i got it since i have wanted one and i loved the frozen franchise. This book is worth it and especially if you cosplay. This book will help me when i fix up anna and make travel anna. I even got the cd with it on the same day and it was worth it. The book is super pretty and well detailed on how they made everything and talk about each section of the movie and each elements. I would buy again and recommend it anyone on an art book.
