Book Reviews of The Art and Making of Monster House
Book Review: Great "Art of" book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great art and making of book, in fact it is more than just a regular book, with all the included trading cards that decribes each character of the movie, actual post-it notes, sheets of notebook pages(that main characters wrote their notes on) and envelopes popping out of it.
The sketches and production paintings are stunning and you can also find detailed information about 3d development process for the monster house itself.
Overall this is a multi-dimensional(literally) colorful book that you must get if you are somewhat involved with 3d graphics, feature aniomation and art.

It also includes envelopes, cards, and a movie poster.Monster House is the first film from director Gil Kenan, who is living every young director?s dream, hand-picked by the film?s executive producer, Steven Spielberg, to create this groundbreaking film. This latest release from Sony Pictures Imageworks and ImageMovers, features the innovative, cutting-edge technology of " performance capture? animation, first introduced in The Polar Express.
Monster House tells the story of a trio of friends who discover the secret that a scary, creepy house in their neighborhood is actually a living, breathing monster and it?s up to the kids to stop the evil house before it?s too late. Standouts in the cast include animation veterans Steve Buscemi, Kathleen Turner, Catherine O?Hara and Jason Lee, as well as Fred Willard, Kevin James, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Jon Heder.
