"Story elements aside, this is a fantastic coffee table book for fans of the story and cinephiles in general because the 150+ pages feature colorful concept art, incredible shots of the movie’s production, and amazing costumes designed by Oscar-nominated Michael Wilkinson and his team. There’s a lot to enjoy here!"
