The Art of How to Train Your Dragon by Tracey Miller-Zarneke, Cressida Cowell

4.0

The book was a lot thinner than many other art books for films I've read, but it included a lot more information than I expected given that it's a kids' movie (that that kids would necessarily be the ones looking at this title). In addition to character and setting art, they talk about adapting things from book to movie, why they made certain changes, difficulties with getting the animation style and programs to do what they wanted—a lot of things that don't get discussed in other art books, even cartoon ones. It was actually really neat, and a surprisingly quick read.
