Released late last summer, tonight I'm taking a look at this must-have book for Disney fans young and old —Disney Maps: A Magical Atlas of the Movies we Know and Love! I received this for this Christmas from my parents and have wanting to share it with you here ever since. Many of you I'm sure already either know about it or own in at this point, but if not, here you go and you're welcome! ;) You won't wanna miss it.
I've always been pretty intrigued by maps and I especially enjoy maps of fictitious worlds. Even as a young kid, I would create my own maps sometimes when I would make my home movies; I essentially wanted to map out where all the action was taking place within the story/made-up world to help put things in perspective in my mind. This book combines that idea with Disney/Pixar worlds, so needless to say it was right up my alley! It does not disappoint and is worth the price for the AMAZING art alone.
Love that Pete Docter (one of my favorite Pixar directors) had the opportunity to write the book's Foreword! It's so well-written, definitely don't skip it as it's a great introduction.
Here are all the films represented/maps included in chronological order! Of course not every single Disney/Pixar animated film is featured here, but a solid 24 are. And who knows! Maybe we could see a Volume 2 with more.
Here's what you can expect to see inside; starting with the film that started all of this, Snow White!
The second half of the book is mostly made up of Pixar maps, which I was all about! Here I'll be focused on primarily showing many of those starting with Toy Story below. Enjoy your exclusive look inside!
Each film/map also has pages like these as well featuring a description of the movie, "moments to remember", fun facts and characters to look out for (almost like a "look & find" style book).
Well there you go everyone! That should be enough to give you an idea whether you'd like to pick this up for your collection or not. Like I said, I highly suggest it (it truly is magical), but I can understand if it's not for you if some of your fave Disney/Pixar films aren't included here. If a second volume was made, which films would you like to see? Let me know down in the comments and stay tuned right here each week for more from my personal collection.
