★☆☆☆☆
Game is SERIOUSLY misrepresented
I purchased this game at Target on Black Friday after seeing it in their ad. I read the bos at the store and thought it would be a great game. I love Pictionary but I'm not good at drawing. When I got the purchase home, I put in the DVD and watched the "How to Play." As on the front of the box, it showed SKETCHES being done to guess the answer. When I went to play the game, there are NOT sketches. It takes an image from a Disney movie, blurs it until it is impossible to guess what it is and give you 15 seconds to guess. It takes until it gets down to about 3 seconds left to know what it is. At the point that you can tell what it is, it goes from being blurry to being so obvious that everyone can tell what it is and answers at the exact same time. The product is not AT ALL what it is described as. Additionally, it is supposedly broken up into 2 levels "Classic Disney" and newer pictures (don't remember the actual title of this section) but it was described as having things from newer films, such as the Disney-Pixar collaborations. We played Classic Disney because some of the people playing hadn't seen the newer Pixar movies. However, there were characters from Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, and Monsters, Inc. which are definitely not Classic Disney. My final issue, still relating to "Classic Disney" is the specific detail expected for the level supposedly for children as young as 7. One of the pictures we had for "Thing" was a still movie image of Mary Poppins from the waist up holding her umbrella and the correct answer was "Mary Poppin's Hat." The game that we expected to be fun turned out to just be frustrating. I'm selling it on Ebay.
