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.

It was fun, but the advertising was incorrect on the dvd drawing pictures. It does not draw at all. Pictures from movies are faded and clear up. This does not really add to the pictionary game. It is more like the "scene it" game.

My 6 1/2 yr-old granddaughter loves Disney Pictionary DVD Game! She is a great artist (better than her grandmother) for the opt to draw, but she also loves to guess the drawings from the TV screen, which also offers hints. Lots of fun for young and old.

Everyone in my family (from ages 3 to 30) played this as a group a few nights ago and had a great time. The regular gameplay worked for everyone who could read and the pre-reading members were able to play with some help.

This is good. Not as durable as you'd hope for a kids game. The dry erase picture sheet began falling apart after our first use. Content, DVD and game style is great fun.

Disney Pictionary was as much fun as seen on TV! I have the Pictionary PC edition, which has the drawback that you need a PC to play it. This version (Disney DVD Pictionary) does not. It plays great on your DVD player. It has two modes, Easy and Hard. Even the Easy mode was a little challenging for adults! I am very pleased with my purchase, I hope Mattel keeps 'em coming! (More Pictionary on DVD's)

My children are 3 and 6 and after just a little coaching, they were able to do it by themselves if they needed too. My older son did want to try to draw and the wipeable boards were great. My youngest son loved to guess the pictures on the TV. The only thing was it doesn't keep their attention for very long.

We played this game on Christmas Day after the kids received it from Santa. Our family age range is 3 years to 42 years old, family of 6. We all had a blast! Our youngest just had fun watching everyone else laugh and get excited. She was very enthralled with the pictures taking shape on the TV screen. This is definitely family time well spent!

My kids like this game but don't choose to play it often. I think they get bored with it and some of the questions they are too young to answer. I think it would be better for older children. Cute game though.

We really like the other Scene It type of games and we thought we really would enjoy this as a family however we have only played it a couple of times. Not much variety of characters and for the enjoyment, not completely satisfied with the purchase.
