"Most of the book is dedicated to this kind of almost happy-go-lucky customization that the artwork evolves through, and it's pretty awesome flipping the pages as different pieces of the project take shape." - Midroad Movie Review "You won't regret reading it, because it's something different and beautifully dark for adult readers. It's one of the best and most fascinating retellings of Snow White available." - Artbook Passion "Very well put together." - City of Films "If you are like me, fascinated with the art of filmmaking, and behind the scenes information from character design to set design this is one you will want to pick up." - Watch Play Read "If you want further exploration into the movie and interested in the world building aspects, the way cool mech designs and shooting locations of Chappie, then Chappie: The Art of the Movie should be picked up and added to your library shelf." - Retrenders "It's hard to believe that there's any piece of information about the production of "Chappie" that isn't included here." - Roger Ebert.com
