Critical reception
The Animation World Network described The Art of DreamWorks Animation as "a breathtakingly lovely catalogue of every animated film that...is like a tour through the Louvre of modern cinematic animation".[36] Indiwire explained that the Home edition, in contrast to the other books in The Art Of... series contains "finished artwork or very late concept work [which] is at least equal to art from prototypical and developmental stages."[37] Rotoscopers noted that art books in the series "are usually also ‘making of’ books that teach the reader about how a movie was made."[38] Due to the sheer number of The Art of... titles, Martin Godman of Animation Scoop wrote "When I review an “Art Of” book today, I tend to look at what sets the book apart from similar products; a difference that makes the book worth adding to a library and perusing years after the film itself has departed the theaters."[39]
