Customer Reviews

A good book for kids

I can't get the rating stars to work for this review but I would give it three stars. It's a great introduction to the Disney Villains and has some nice pictures and write ups. For the older collector it is a nice book to add to your library.

A Must Have for "Bad Guy Obsessed" Kids

My 4 year old son is literally obsessed with Bad Guys, esp the Disney ones, and LOVES this book. The pictures are great, and there are lots of little side stories about each villian. We read it every night!

i definetly agree with rosa, waternoose not randall is the true villain of monster inc. and i wish they'd put oogie boogie and more of gaston in

Yes, Essential, But Lacking Coverage on a Couple Favorites

"Disney Villains: The Essential Guide" is just that, a well-illustrated, detailed guide to most of your favorite Disney villains. From Captain Hook to Maleficent, they're here, including even some info on Disney-Pixar villains. Each of the featured villains gets a detailed description, blurbs all around them for description and information in three important areas: Meanest Moment, Achille's Heel and Pet Peeve. Each also gets a couple of pages devoted to things such as their lair and their dastardly deeds, and you'll even get detailed looks at locations such as Never Land and Pride Rock. This is a feast of information that parents can enjoy reading and looking over with their kids, or can just read on their own. The main problem with this guide is that it only gives limited coverage on a couple of pages to certain villains, including two of the very best Disney villains: Jafar from "Aladdin" and Hades from "Hercules." Perhaps someday we'll see a Volume II with more info, but until then, these villainous greats are relegated to small, portion-of-a-page blurbs. If you're a fan of Disney movies, or just wanna learn more about these dastardly villains, definitely get this! I've seen most of the Disney movies, watched the DVDs and read a lot on the Internet (and another unofficial book about the Disney villains) and I still learned a lot from this.
