My family bought this to play over the holidays, and it is fun for the first few rounds. We're all big Disney fans, and the main challenge for us were a heavy reliance on some of the less popular Disney films such as "Treasure Planet," "The Great Mouse Detective," "Atlantis," "The Emperor's New Groove," and "The Rescuers Down Under." We seemed to get more questions about these films than the popular and beloved films.

The questions are all about traditionally animated feature films. Although you play with the classic Disney characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, etc.) there are no questions about them, nor are there questions about non-animated Disney films, Disney cartoons, Disney Channel television shows, theme parks, or Pixar films. However there are a few questions that have almost nothing to do with Disney, usually ridiculously easy. (i.e. "What might the moon orbit?" and the answer is a picture of the earth, but the other pictures aren't planets.) This seems a waste when they could have broadened the scope of the questions.

Another oddity is that although you enter your profile name, it doesn't seem to have any relevance--you can't save your profile to select for use later and your name doesn't appear in the game (you're just "player 1," "player 2," etc.)

As another reviewer pointed out, one thoughtful feature is that you can use the nunchucks for additional players if they're connected to Wii remotes. (So for a two player game, you could use the Wii remote and a nunchuck).

The game seems limited in terms of longterm play--after playing a few times we started getting repeat questions, and after about 6-7 games each round had about five questions we'd seen before. There are a good variety of different random rounds you can get which keeps it interesting, but the Genie--the game's host--has the same script for each which is fun the first time or two you hear it, but get repetitive and makes the pace of the game drag (and you can't skip them). There is good balance in terms of points, so someone in last place in round three can jump to first in round four, even if he or she was way behind.

You are limited to just four locations for the game, and will sometimes have a guest star from the corresponding movie, but it always seems to be the same character (and a lot of the questions were the same). Seems they could have added more settings, or a broader variety of guest stars. You do get rewards for coming in first in a multiplayer game--an optional costume peice for the character you were using, but only one per character for each of the four settings. The solo game will unlock additional characters.

Bottomline--for a family game you play once in a while, this is a pretty good buy for Disney fans. But if you're a big Disney trivia fan looking for a challenge, you'll probably be disappointed.

As big Disney fans we knew this was a must play game. We had a great time as a family playing this game. Important note for the Wii-your nunchuk can be used as an individual controller when connected to a wii-mote allowing all four of us to play despite the fact we only own three wii-motes. A family of 4 with two wiimotes and nunchuks could then still all play. I thought this was a great feature. The 8 yr old found the game amusing enough to play alone against the computer players. You choose how well you know Disney allowing a more customized game. We found the questions to be pretty easy which made being fast an important part of gameplay. Think of this as a faster paced Disney Scene It game.

This is a fun game for the whole family; however, the selection of the difficulty level is somehwat frustrating. Each player is asked to set a difficulty level of "A Lot", "Some", or "A Little" based on their Disney knowledge. It seems that the game uses the players' difficulty level selection to create a mix of some moderate to difficult Disney trivia questions with some very trivial questions. The end result is that the difficult questions frustrated the novice players and the trivial ones frustrate the more advanced players.

In order to allow players at all levels to play together there may be no way around this shortcoming; however, more frustrating is the fact that even if all players select "A Lot", the game still throws in some of the trivial questions. Trivial questions are of the form "Which of the following cannot fly?" which displays three pictures of birds and one of a fish.

Bought this for Christmas last year because my younger brother is a Disney fanatic. I confess that my family spent the whole week playing each other (with him winning), but after 7 straight days, the content seemed monotonous. The graphics are more "Dumbo" than "Finding Nemo," and there seems to be way too many questions about the "Aristocats."

I would recommend this for young Disney lovers and really really really devoted older Disney lovers. Try to buy it used for a better chance of feeling like you got your money's worth.

Disney's Think Fast is a pretty fun game. Some of the questions are repetitive but overall its a fun experience. There are some questions that are too easy and I don't think they should be in the game because they really have nothing to do with Disney movies but hey it's aimed towards kids.

Most of the game is really fun because you get to answer lots of trivia questions in the form of true and false, multiple choice, and mini games. You also get to watch clips from your favorite disney movies and you get asked questions about the scenes that you just watched, you get to pick where you want to play at (Lilo and Stitch is my favorite) including lilo and stich, 101 dalmatians, little mermaid and Lion King which makes you feel like you're in complete control, and you get to pick you own characters to play as and earn extra items for them including hats and sunglasses. There are also a few characters to unlock once you hit enough points during gameplay.

Overall I think this game is very fun and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is sometimes the questions get very repetitive if you play it alot and some of the questions are just too simple. This game is geared towards kids but it is also just as fun for adults. If you like trivia games and you like disney movies then I think you'll like this game. It's well worth $30.

I like how you can customize the length of the game, the level of knowledge, the background scene, which character you choose, & even dress up the characters. However, you can only get 3 extra characters & 4 items per characters. It's pretty nice for so cheap a game. It would be great if you could by updates in the Wii market place. Beware, the Genie has certain lines for each background that NEVER vary. Also there's not really any way of really getting the random levels unless you just customize a game & go thru them. You do not win any prizes for a custome game though. & while there is a lot of different questions, some of them pop up repeatedly.

This game is really cute! It's basically a gameshow with questions about Disney movies. Everyone plays as a Disney character (you get to pick your character, buzzer sound, name, and a few other things) and there are tons of different categories. My kids are 5 and 3 and both love it (although we have to help the 3 year old still)! In fact, their grandmother also like it! I highly reccomend this game!

i don't know why some gave this game a poor review. no it's not super-duper gamer action....but it is meant for whole family participation and it is lots of fun and can easily entertain everyone in the family at any age. It is a little slow moving with the set up....as you can't just go straight to the 'game' part.....but the kids have a blast with it!!!!

Good game for all Disney film fans. The adults will catch on quickly and I did sense some definite patterns to some of the questions that the older kids will take advantage of ... but I think this is a good game to have around even though it doesn't have 'every day' gotta play material like some of the other games on the market.

This is a game that the whole family can play regardless of the age differences. You don't need to read as with other trivia games. They ask the question and the answers are pictures. Great fun! And the kids are usually the ones that win, and I am not letting them either.
