4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth collecting..., 19 Oct 2003
Beautiful! You get a real sense that you own something special when you get this. (Very exciting when it gets delivered to you in the big box too, it feels like christmas as a kid, all over again!)

Overall worth getting. It’s not gob smacking stunning, but still very very nice. Definitely worth the money if you’re a fan.

While the book follows the ethos that it’s just presenting the artwork, it does follow the films plot, in terms of where art is placed in the book… what I mean is, The car ride and the Chihiro getting lost artwork is near the start and goes through into the various scenes in the film, in order.

My favourite parts are the Character design pages, and the landscape watercolour like paintings, some of them look frameable for any art gallery.

The artist commentary is very interesting too; some inside info on their ideas while making the film included.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insight into the work of a genius, 24 Feb 2003
This is a great book. Whether you are familiar with the work of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli or not, the work in this book cannot fail to impress. It leads you from an introduction by Miyazaki's, though his concept art (beautiful watercolour sketches) to the final backgrounds and character work including a script at the back. The layout of the book follow the narrative of the film, with introductions to the characters and locations along the way. A section at the back is devoted to the digital processes used during the making of the film and throughout the book there are short paragraphs from the artists about their experiences and thinking process (e.g, use of colour, architectural influence etc etc). The images in the book are incredible and allow you to study in detail the work and skill of the artists, as a student studying animation I find this book is an invaluable resource. I have bought other "The art of" books on other Miyazaki film, and this book lives up to their high standards (unfortunately the other books are only available from Japan, try Amazon.jp). I highly recommend this book to anyone even remotely interested in animation or the work of Miyazaki, good to see a hardback book at this price too. Cant recommend it enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality!, 4 Jan 2005
By P. White (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The first thing to strike one when opening this book is that the paper is high quality glossy art paper. This enables a very good standard of printing and colour definition which in the case of artwork from Studio Ghibli is useful to say the least.
This book complements 'Spirited Away' and reveals the beauty of the work that went into it. It's not a 'making of' or a 'illustrated version' as such but well worth seeing and reading. You'll learn a lot and it's very aesthetically pleasing. Recommeded in the extreme. Now buy everything Studio Ghibli has ever produced...
