Chronicle Books To Do The Incredibles

Art of, Postcards, Journal

August 9, 2004

Chronicle Books will produce three products based on The Incredibles, the new Pixar film premiering in November (see 'ICv2 Retailer Calendar').  The Art of the Incredibles will be a 160-page, 11' x 9' hardcover with an 8-page gatefold and color illustrations throughout.  It will feature concept and character sketches, storyboards, and lighting studies, as well as interviews with the key players at Pixar.  MSRP will be $40. 

 

Chronicle will also produce an Art of the Incredibles postcard book with 30 postcards featuring art from the film for $8.95, and The Art of the Incredibles Journal for $9.95. 

 

All three Chronicle products will be released in November.

 

There will be no shortage of merchandise for The Incredibles, which has a good chance of continuing Pixar's string of animated hits.  Dark Horse will produce a four-issue comic adaptation (see 'Dark Horse Has the Incredibles); Tokyopop is doing a Cine-Manga version (see 'Tokyopop, Disney Plan More Cine-Manga'); Upper Deck will release trading cards (see 'Upper Deck's Trading Card Releases'); and Hasbro is producing toys (see 'Hasbro Mixes Old and New for 2004').
