I don't think it's incorrect to say this is one of THE best animated "art of" books. No one knew what a success the original Kung Fu Panda was going to be back in 2008, so maybe that explains why finding the book at a decent price is such a headache i.e. not enough copies were printed. I got my copy back in 2011 for about $45, I implore you all to watch and wait until poachers lower prices. It's simply ridiculous to charge over $100 for this book. Now that may sound like it's not worth the buy, but it's worth it in spades.
With a great cover design and glittering red dragons along the front it certainly catches one's eye on a bookshelf. At a nice 192 pages there is plenty of room for insight from the creators and artwork to mesh perfectly. There are countless pieces of concept art, color keys, renders and storyboards, sure to satisfy anyone looking for an inside look behind the film. There are even pull-out spreads for pictures that couldn't be confined to just one page. Each character gets their chance to shine in the book along with all the locations presented in the film; you may be even surprised to see some 'deleted characters' that show up later in the franchise. Of special note is Nico Marlet's wonderful character sketches, his style is so visually pleasing and just leaves you wanting more.
Depending on the state of your copy there is a bit of treat in the back of the book. A small poster for the film is sealed in an envelope, an extra "thank you for buying this book and enjoy the movie" if you will. Tracey Miller-Zarneke did a marvelous job and she was well trusted with chronicling the rest of the films.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to art books, especially when the art style isn't what I'm looking for. This book, however, has various styles that I actually enjoyed, and it isn't even in a style I'm particularly fond of either! What makes it so interesting, you ask? Well, for one, you get to see and understand why the producers chose the particular art style for the movie, and it makes a lot of sense.
If you've seen the movie already, you know how the intro movie goes (all in 2D at first), the author explains why they chose to go with that style and how they came up with the idea.
From 2D sketches from various character designers to the final 3D output of the characaters and environments, you won't be disappointed at how they all turned out. Most of them didn't make in the movie, but you eventually find out why. Some of the art is so good, you won't even be able to tell if it's 2D or 3D. Vibrant colors fill up the pages in this book, and the overall design for the cover inside and out will make you want to come back to this book, even if it's just for fun or for your personal reference to character/environment design. PICK THIS ONE UP!

One of the top 3 Art of Books

This is one of my very favorite Art of books. It's up there with Monsters Inc., but for different reasons. I really enjoy all of the renderings in Monsters, but The Art of KF Panda does not disappoint with the sheer wealth of character sketches and backgrounds. It's one of the thicker and taller Art of titles also. The spot varnish printing on the dust jacket is a very nice touch. This also happens to be one of my favorite Dreamworks animations, and I feel they did an awesome job with continuing the excellence of the Art of titles. Highly recommended and highly encouraged to get before it's ridiculously expensive.
