Great for Disney Loving Art Students July 1, 2010
Brenna Kathleen
I saw this book before it came out at the D23 Disney Expo and received it as a birthday gift a few days after it was released.
The moment I saw it at the expo I knew I had to own it. I'm not too keen on the cover art (it might actually be my least favorite), but the other pieces inside are amazing. I love every different artist's take on the princesses, and was pleased with some of them that nodded to other well-known artists (like some of the princesses drawn in the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha and a portrait of Belle that resembles Francois Boucher's Rococo painting of Madame de Pompadour).
As an art student I have frequently visited this book for inspiration on different styles, media, and techniques.
There are several pages in my copy that have permanent place holders in them (like my favorite, the Mucha-esque Snow White) that I like to use as references for some of my art projects for school.
If you don't mind giving the artist some creative license to make their own interpretations (Some classic Disney fanatics may not like some of the more outrageous sci-fi/contemporary takes on them; even though I consider myself one of said fanatics, and I don't mind as long as people don't "sex" them up) you're sure to enjoy looking through the pages of different images of some of the most beloved Disney characters.
Disney's Princesses As You've Never Seen Them Before June 1, 2010
Sacramento Book Review (Sacramento, CA)
Whatever our age, many of us are still princesses at heart. //The Art of the Disney Princess// takes that idea and runs with it. Inside these pages you'll find a great collection of art that celebrates and re-imagines the world of the Disney princesses. The art itself is more like fan art than actual sketches from Disney artists or concept art, but it's wonderful to look at anyway.
Hands down, the best thing about this book is its variety. Practically every Disney princess is featured, from classic favorites like Belle, Snow White and Cinderella, to less-featured princesses such as Kida, Tiger Lily, Pocahontas, and the newest Princess, Tiana. The art was made in a marvelous range of media, from digital art and photography to traditional watercolors, ink, and paint - with a few extras like paper collage thrown in for good measure. This reader would have appreciated a little more explanation about the processes or background of each piece. Still, this is a great addition to the collection of any Disney princess fan, young or old.

We All Have A Favourite Disney Princess! April 6, 2010
Larissa (Australia)
A Princess is more then just a pretty face, she is as brave as a lion, as clever as a fox, and as pure as snow. A Princess is all heart and loves unconditionally and is loved so in return. Many thousands of little girls around the world have grown up with the wish to become a princess. But being a Princess is not just having a gown, crown and castle, it is every little girl who has ever made a wish and believes in magic.
Disney has been creating Princess since 1937 when the very first Princess, Snow White, was introduced to the world. Since then many other Princess have been imagined and re-imagined by Disney, all with their own story and all as unique as the girl wishing to be them. However different each Princess is the one thing all Disney Princess have in common is the ability to capture our imaginations as well as our hearts.
The Art Of The Disney Princess brings together a number of Disney artists in order to celebrate the magical, virtuous and daring heroine that is the Disney Princess. From the iconic Snow White and Cinderella to the new Princess Tiana, the elusive Tiger Lily and even Maleficent, who manages to make an appearance or two.
All the well know and loved princess are presented within this outstanding collection of beautiful and unique images, and with this book you can be a part of the magic. As every Princesses is unique so too is every piece of artwork captivated within this book. A stunning collection to treasure.
