The book comes with its own removable movie projector and ten picture disks that let readers and their parents project images from the movies on the wall as the story is read. The projector includes its own built-in reading light so that book can be read even when lights are dimmed.

Surprisingly OK,
By DKDC (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nick Jr. Dora & Friends Movie Theater Storybook & Movie Projector (Nick Jr. Movie Theater) (Hardcover)
If you read reviews of other editions of the Movie Theater Storybook and Movie Projector series (Disney Princess Movie Theater) you will see reviews like,
"This is a frustrating toy ... it does not work terribly well." and "...the projector is SO mini that it needs to be very close to the wall or screen in order to be seen (2-3 inches) and the image is very small." and "The projector image is so tiny and blurry, its sometimes impossible to recognize the characters." It was really helpful to read these negative reviews, because when it came with all it's faults my expectations were so low that I was happy with it. In my daughters book, the reading light didn't work at all. I had to sand down this white tube that holds the contact metal piece for the light to make contact and work. Also the reading light is aimed sideways and up (??!!) not down at the page. Who designed that?? But the images can get as big as 8-10 inches in a dark room, the focus can be adjusted (and readjusted and readjusted if the screws holding the thing together are not tight) to make them reasonably clear. And I think the book can be read, with some difficulty, while showing the slides - even with my failing eyesight (1.5 glasses). So, in the end I think when my daughter gets this for her birthday I will then be able to say what another reviewer said about the Disney Princess Movie Theater: "I still give it a high mark because of the many hours my kid has spent playing with it. She is rough on the projector and the disks and they have taken it well so far."

Toddler often plays with set,
By
This review is from: Nick Jr. Dora & Friends Movie Theater Storybook & Movie Projector (Nick Jr. Movie Theater) (Hardcover)
It isn't easy to figure out where to start when you put a disc in. But once you get it in the right place, it works nicely - not perfectly. Changing pictures doesn't always go smoothly. The projector lens is adjustable, so you can get a clear picture after playing with it a little. The picture can be small to medium -- not large.
Even if you lose the discs, the toddler has an enjoyable book to read and mine has been looking at it a lot even though we misplaced the projector. I wish the set had come with a container for the discs since it's easy to lose them. It comes with a reading light, which wasn't immediately obvious especially since the light is located on the top corner of the projector rather than the bottom. The projector doesn't have a stand, so you have to prop it on a book or hold it at an angle otherwise the picture appears at the bottom of the wall. The reading light doesn't work well. When using the projector, be in as dark a room as possible otherwise it's hard to see the pictures. Dora lovers will love the book regardless as mine does.

DO not do business with this company,
By
This review is from: Nick Jr. Dora & Friends Movie Theater Storybook & Movie Projector (Nick Jr. Movie Theater) (Hardcover)
I have been waiting for a product i ordered over 2 weeks ago. I order from Amazon all the time and have never had things take so long to be delivered. I find this to be bad customer service. They leave no telephone number to call. You have to email them and then when you ask for your money back, they ignore you.
