This is NOT a bad CD as the other three women make it out to be. They obviously just didn't READ THE COVER. It is not a "Read-Along," it is an "Audio Story." Amazon has it listed incorrectly, but that is not Disney's doing. As far as "A Mom's" complaint about the length, it clearly says on the cover that it is "Over 1 Hour Of Movie Fun." It also clearly states that there is a "Collectible Souvenir Movie Booklet" included. Nowhere does it say there is a storybook included. We listened to it on CD in the car and when we got home our son ran to get his tape-player so he could listen to it again on the cassette tape. The only reason I'm giving it only 4 stars is because it started a little later into the movie and it omitted a couple of scenes our son really likes. He asked why they weren't on it but he didn't cry because he understands that they can't put the ENTIRE movie on the disk. It is certainly not a disappointment though. Of course, if you just assume without reading the package you will be disappointed in whatever you buy. Get a clue ladies and READ!

I purchased this Audio Story Adventure in a chain store. The narration is quite good, and my son, who is six, has learned quite a bit of vocabulary from listening to this story in the car. I am writing this review because I spent this evening looking for other narrated movies on cd, and I have not been able to find any.

My son and I did recently listen to E. B. White's recording of "Charlotte's Web." It is a great, but is not currently available on CD through Amazon. It is available on cassette.

I bought this CD a year ago and my kids absolutely LOVE IT!! We listen to it every time we are going to be in the car for more than 30 minutes. I wish I could find more CD's like this. Personally I'm a little tired of it, and would love to switch it up with some other audio adventures, but the kids never seem to get sick of it. It's especially great if you don't have a movie player in your car. Definately a good buy.

I agree with the first reviewer. This is not a read-along because there isn't a book to "read" with. Too, the dvd is too long - 60 minutes!!! I was very disappointed.

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED AND TRIED AGAIN WITH SOMEONE YOU WANNA BE WITH, BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN IT DOESN'T WORK?
INSTEAD OF PUSHING A RELATIONSHIP TO WORK, SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA START OVER BACK AT SQUARE ONE WITH FRIENDSHIP IN ORDER TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY. SLOW DOWN AND GET TO KNOW SOMEONE AND GAIN THERE TRUST. WITHOUT TRUST, THERE IS NO FRIENDSHIP. WITHOUT FRIENDSHIP, THERE IS NO LOVE. WITHOUT LOVE, THERE IS NO POINT TO TRY IF YOU ARE JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS.

THIS IS THE BEAUTY OF MUSIC. I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL. NO MATTER WHAT SITUATION I CAN THINK UP IN MY HEAD, SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE IS GOING THROUGH IT...THIS IS MY SONG ABOUT YOU!

My Son loves to buy the Disney Read-Along stories and I attribute these wonderful books to helping him learn to read at an early age. We went to the bookstore and my child was so excited to find the Incredibles "Audiobook" for sale. He bought the item and we popped it into the car CD player immediately. He burst into tears when he discovered that the booklet the accompanies the CD and cassette is a "Souvenier" book with pictures from the movie and not a read-along story. This is very unusual for the Disney line and hopefully not a sign of things to come. If your child is looking for an Incredibles Read-Along, keep looking.

When this came out I bought it expecting another wonderful read-a-long story in the same line of the previous dozen or so read-a-long stories that Disney has released over the past few years. When we got to the car and realized it wasn't, I immediately went back into the mall to get my money back...if I simply wanted a story, I'll get the DVD (when it comes out)!!!
A read-a-long is a valuable learning device, which takes advantage of a kid's enthusiasm over a movie to teach.
An audio-adventure is simply a videoless DVD...what a waste!
I hoped that Disney would see their error and rerelease this properly, but I guess not.

My son is also a collector of Disney Read-alongs and he too, was disappointed to discover that there is no book with which to read along. I imagine this same scene was replayed all over the country on this Christmas morning! Thumbs down to Disney on this one!
