Tying in with the first of the "Hobbit" movies, this reveals the culmination of the creative vision for the film through exclusive interviews with the designers, cast and crew. It also features more than 500 previously unpublished photos, written and designed by the team at Weta Workshop. It goes species by species, character by character, through the film's huge ensemble of characters and bustling menagerie of creatures, both physical and digital, telling the stories of how each came to be realized for the film.
