This book wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of the Inside Out Art and Story departments as well as the Pixar Publishing team: Erik Langley, May Iosotaluno and Pauline Chu (our Ninja Sharx), Samantha Wilson, Isabel Conde, Molly Jones, Kelly Bonbright, Lee Rase, Margo Zimmerman (#shenamedthemovie), and Jeanette Marker. Also, many thanks to our dear friends at Chronicle Books: Jessi Rymill, Emily Haynes, Neil Egan, Lia Brown, and Beth Steiner. A special shout-out to Sarah Malarkey who jumped on board with us way back on Monsters, Inc. when Michele Spane made the pitch that if we’re going to make “Art of” books we should work with the best publisher on the planet.
Special thanks to Co-Director, Ronnie del Carmen, whose drawings showcased in this book, provided the first glimpse of how the movie might look and feel. There would not be a film without him.
Many thanks to Production Designer, Ralph Eggleston and Story Supervisor, Josh Cooley. They shaped the film with their art and led amazing teams that created awe-inspiring work, as you have seen on these pages.
To the Inside Out Production team: Mark Nielsen, Dana Murray, Michael Fong, Elissa Knight, and Victoria Manley. May this be one of many “Art of” books that we share together.
And to the Pixar Executive Team that supported us along the way: John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, Jim Morris, Tom Porter, Marc Greenberg, Jim Kennedy, Lori McAdams, and Steve May.
We draw inspiration from many sources and therefore we’d like to thank the following fine folks and organizations: Jonathan Garson, Howard Green, Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Saturday Night Live, David Schaeffer (for the chill chamber), Mexicali Rose, Merritt Bakery, Teacake Bake Shop, the Oakland Raiders, the Oakland Athletics, the Oaks Card Club, Disneyland, Chateau Marmont, The Muppet Show, and The Walt Disney Family Museum for letting us use their amazing building when we were first putting this movie together.
Most important, thanks to all the Pixar employees who made this film. We suspect you’ll never know how much we appreciate the work you do.
