Disney’s currently enjoying quite a bit of success fromAvengers: Endgame, but they’re also looking ahead to live-action adaptations of their classic animated tales. First up isGuy Ritchie’sAladdin, a new, kinetic take on the 1992 story that followed the title street rat on his quest to find a magical lamp, become a prince, and win the heart of Princess Jasmine. And Insight Editions has a new art and making-of book that goes behind the scenes to show off the production (and story changes) in stunning detail.
Weshared the first look at the bookand the movie itself just last month, but now that Insight Editions'“The Art and Making of Aladdin"is available to buy, we wanted to bring you an in-depth review. 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-nominatedMichael Wilkinsonand his team. There’s a lot to enjoy here!
