ThatThe Art of Frozenis a visual treat goes without saying. There is the splendid art: the original sketches, concept paintings, storyboards, backgrounds, maquettes, and finished art; each piece identified to its artist. There are the photographs of mid-19th century Norwegian architecture and costumes used for art reference. There are the informative comments by the production staff. But more than most art-of books,The Art of Frozendescribes the thinking that has made Frozen almost imperceptibly different from all of the other modern animated featuresl#Q
