Win The Art Of Onward Thanks to Chronicles Books , we've got our hands on the latest "the art of" book for a Disney/Pixar movie and this time it's for the quirky, "Onward" which is directed by Dan Scanlon.  Set in a suburban fantasy world, Onward introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there.  Dan Scanlon also gives the book an introduction and from the offset you can see that The Art Of Onward is of the highest quality just like the previous books in the series and why they have actually created quite a following with Disney and Pixar enthusiasts. As usual with these kind of books, The Art of Onward provides a huge insight into the creative process and the amount of work involved that goes into producing an animated feature.  Character designs, storyboards, colour scripts plus exclusive interviews from the creative team are all present in the full colour 176 p...

The latest Spielberg directed movie, Ready Player One will hit cinema screens in March and I for one cannot wait.  The movie based on a novel by Ernest Cline has a plethora of 80's references taken from movies, music, D&D and most importantly video games.  Now, for me that's okay as I've been a gamer since the days of my rubber keyed Sinclair Spectrum 48K.  However, for some who are not into games, this could be a bit of a turn off for going to see what I know will be a epic experience in the cinemas. Well, first let me assure you that if you have no knowledge of video games then that's okay.  You will still enjoy the movie.  I recently read the book and there are a lot of references to Japanese Anime and I have no clue on this subject.  It didn't stop my enjoyment, in fact I can honestly say Ready Player One is one of the best books I've read in years. If, however you wish there was a quick way to get genned up on the video game genre then you a...
