This is more than a coloring book, it's an artistic event. The book measures 20" x 15", meaning the finished artwork can be placed on the wall when done and be really seen. This is a crayon gobbler. You can easily go through a box of red crayons just on Sebastian and Ariel's hair and I'm talking those monster-huge crayons. The thicker paper quality can also permit experimentation with water colors, as there is little to no bleed through. Colored pencils look nice, but you'll be down to nubs in no time. Be advised, this book is difficult to store and will need loads of space when you open the book to do the drawings, but it will keep them occupied as they traverse seeming acres of coloring pages. Excellent for both rainy days and group coloring activities

Love old Disney books. The new ones just don't have what this has.

So here we have Goofy and his wife arguing about who works the hardest, and in the exchange, they "swap" for a day, and he takes over the household chores, and she goes into the field to work. Of course the story focuses on Goofy's antics, as well as his son's observation of his dad trying to put it all together.

We see Goofy going from one extreme to another, especially as it relates to sweeping the floor, doing the laundry, cooking the meals, and the sundry kind of chores his wife does without a thought. But the difference is - Goofy makes a mess, and when it gets out of hand, the line is "I'll fix it-just wait," which means that it gets worse.

In the end, there are no more arguments, especially when his wife comes to save the day as she sees the cow hanging outside the chimney and a yard of soap suds from the laundry which have suddenly appeared outside.

This is a laughable book and very entertaining, and it's also highly recommended (especially if you're a Goofy fan)!!!

This is essentially a pictures-and-story book, the text being mainly a run-through of the film with bits of dialogue slightly modified in order to condense the story.

The photos are full-colour and plentiful, several of which are printed over 2 pages, including a beautiful letterbox-style shot of the "planets" being worked on by the robots on the Cygnus' bridge.

For fans of the film, the most interesting part of this book will be pages 53-55, a section describing a deleted scene which occurs after the meteor storm (1h21m into the film, or Chapter 15 on the DVD). In this sequence, Holland, Pizer, and McCrae are faced with crossing a narrow catwalk over the power center of the Cygnus, which is leaking huge clouds of gas. V.I.N.C.E.N.T. carries Pizer across, B.O.B. carries McCrae, and Holland tries to walk over the catwalk, which breaks and collapses beneath him, but he is saved by the two robots. This scene also appears in the baseball card set.

There are nice photos of the entire cast on the inside covers, and some nice close-ups of the "robot funeral". Disappointingly, there are no photos of the internal, red-lava-esque whirlpool inside the black hole, while the same shot of the outer blue whirlpool is used *3* times.

Overall, this is an interesting find for a fan of the film, and seeing as how the going rate seems to be just a few dollars, what've you got to lose?

As for me, I still have my copy from over 20 years ago, and no, it's definitely NOT for sale.

When we were little, my sister and I LOVED this book. It's got dragons, magic, a mean Lord Gurr, and poor Minnie and her nephews. What's not to like? The illustrations are very colorful, too.

This Christmas, I found a vintage copy of this book and gave it to my sister as a gift. She read it aloud, and it's as good today as it always was. Morals: don't be greedy; if you help people, you will be rewarded.

For the past two weeks Mickey the zookeeper has been having a problem. Someone keeps stealing peanuts from the storeroom. The only opening besides the locked door is a small crack in the wall. To solve this mystery Mickey calls in Detective Donald. When Donald arrives, he first denies all offers of help, given by Mickey and Chip and Dale, two chipmunks. He then tries to figure out who is stealing the peanuts by having each animal try to get at them through the crack, but none of the animals can reach them. His next brilliant idea is to rig a trap so that the thief will have to step in blue paint and will set off a bell when he tries to steal the peanuts. During the night, the bell goes off, he wakes up, and he sees eight footprints in the paint. He then rushes off to visit the octopus, and is disappointed to find out that octopuses don't like peanuts. Mickey then suggests that the prints may have been made by two four-footed animals, and Donald rushes off. This time he gets it right; the thieves are Chip and Dale. They had been taking peanuts and storing them up for winter in their burrow. Now they work for Mickey sweeping the park, and get all the peanuts they can eat.

The book has cute bright pictures. I am really fond of Donald's classic detective outfit, complete with bag. The story is told in a very straightforward manner, and flows nicely. I think it is adorable the way Donald keeps rushing off on a new way to find the thief when the chipmunks keep offering to help him.

This book has to be one of my all-time favorite childhood memories. I was always inclined toward computers and video games, so Tron was a favorite movie for me (a child of the 70's and 80's). I really loved the pop-ups and interactive mechanisms - you literally got to make the story happen!

The explorer craft U.S.S. Palomino is returning to Earth after a fruitless 18-month search for extra-terrestrial life when the crew comes upon a supposedly lost ship, the magnificent U.S.S. Cygnus, hovering near a black hole. The ship is controlled by Dr. Hans Reinhardt

This movie was a reimagining of Disney's 20,00 leagues under the sea in a space opera. The comic art was better than most movie adaptation art i have seen after this. Disney captured the movie in fine form. One would wish they would have a book like this out today

This issue marked the closing of an era. This showcase comic was a way for some new movies and classic four color comics to be showcased. From million dollar duck, Escape from Witch mountain to the classic Shaggy dog & DR Syn alias the scarecrow & some classic disney four color comics, you saw the best that Disney had to offer in comic books

A side note-in this last issue of Disney's Comic Zone, there is slight reprint of the Disney movie newspaper comicstrip drawn by Jack Kirby-this comic is not of those Strip. One would wish that these type of classic newspaper strips would be reprinted in a book form.

Walt Disney's The Jungle Book Coloring Book. Join Mowgli, Baloo, Shere Khan, Bagheera, Ziggy, Buzzie, Flaps, Dizzy, King Louie, Kaa the python, & elephant friends in the Jungle! Great fun for all ages and 3 big crayons that are really 6 different colors.

This story is a retelling of the classic tale 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. One day Sly Fox comes to the 100 Acre Wood and claims he can make clothes that only wise people can see, and will make the wearer wiser. Pooh decides he wants a set. One by one the animals in the 100 Acre Wood go and see, or don't see, the set of clothes. While Kanga and Roo aren't fooled, everyone else is, and it isn't until Christopher Robin says that there are no clothes that they realize the truth.

The illustrations are Disney's standard depiction of Pooh- a tubby but cute bear with a red shirt. Sly Fox is very similar in appearance to the fox in Pinnochio. The story is told well, and what with the great illustrations, it is a very good book.
