Hefty Storybook Based on Disney/Pixar Movies
I bought this HUGE (and heavy) 319-page book for my son and he loves it!

Like other books in the Disney Storybook series, this Disney/Pixar Collection features gorgeous silver edging (think of your Grandma's old Bible!) and lavish illustrations. There are 21 stories in this book, averaging around 13-15 pages each (much too long for a bedtime story--but great to read over several nights--or for encouraging your child to read).

Here are the stories found in this collection, and the movies they are based upon:

Toy Story and Beyond - Buzz's Big Mission
Finding Nemo - The Big Search
Cars - Off the Fast Track
The Incredibles - The Supers Save the Day
A Bug's Life - What a Team!
Toy Story and Beyond - A Tight Squeeze
Monsters, Inc. - Bedtime for Billy
Finding Nemo - Nemo and the Tank Gang
The Incredibles - A Super Summer Barbecue
Cars - Race Day
Toy Story and Beyond - To Infinity and Beyond!
A Bug's Life - A Berry Brave Troop
Monsters, Inc. - Scared Silly
Finding Nemo - A Day at School
Toy Story and Beyond - Toy Camp
The Incredibles - Super Annoying!
Monster's, Inc. - Mike's Dog Problem
Cars - Red's Tune-Up Blues
Finding Nemo - Who's in Charge?
Toy Story and Beyond - Buzz to the Rescue!
A Bug's Life - The Not-So-Perfect Picnic

As you can probably tell from the titles (if you're familiar with the Disney/Pixar movies), these stories are based upon the characters and events of the movies--and not re-tellings of the plot (as is the case with the smaller storybooks based on individual movies).

In addition to the 21 stories, there are also 200 stickers in the back--but most are smaller than a dime or nickel.

My one complaint with this book is that it includes The Incredibles, which is a PG movie (borderline PG-13, in my opinion). Now, I loved the movie and allowed my son to see it--although the violence made me second guess my decision a bit.

Well, in this storybook, there is a rather violent story called The Supers Save the Day, which actually shows a picture of the Supers battling bad guys--complete with an explosion, Mr. Incredible battling a robot, one guy getting punched in the stomach and another guy laying on the ground with an assault rifle beside him. ?!

I feel this story is grossly out of place considering the other movies and themes featured in this book. So if you don't mind that one story, this collection is very much worth the money. In fact, I paid about $4 more for this book in a local Stuff-Mart!

A travesty
On its face, this book seems a great idea - a collection of stories based on the popular Pixar films. But the illustrations are horribly crude, the stories themselves are beyond banal, and the entire package seems designed only to capitalize on the popularity of the films the book is based upon. Your children deserve better stories than these, folks - just because they like these characters doesn't mean you should be reading this dreck to them.

awesome book
This is by far one of the best value you can get for a Disney storybook, collection. It has almost all the original stories and some other short stories about all the characters, they 200 stickers to make our lil' ones more creative. ANd with the amazon awesome price, it's too good to be passed. I truly enjoy this storybook collection for our [...] son. It's a real steal for Disney fans, especially for the ones just start reading Disney storybook.
