The illustrations are nice and we like that there are a few pages to cover each map. However, it misses the mark by skipping SO many classics. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, Bambi... not in this book. I feel those would have been great additions and could have left some of the Pixar ones out. Half the book is Pixar so as long as you know that going in, maybe that’s ok for you. Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella have castles represented in the most popular Disney parks- but sadly are left out of this book and that’s a shame.

I was so excited for this book, and so utterly disappointed in what I got. I regret not studying the preview images more closely. If I had, I'd have noticed something fairly obvious: these are NOT MAPS, they're just ILLUSTRATIONS. If you're the type of person who can get lost in cartography and spend hours perusing mountain chains, shorelines, and spreading forests where adventures unfold, then you will hate every single page of this book.
Maps of fantasy lands are supposed to relate to their respective narratives. They serve to enhance your understanding of a story, and tell you something about the distances traveled and difficulties encountered by our favorite heroes as they pursue their goals. You get a deeper understanding of events and a heightened sense that these lands are real. You will get none of that from this book.
Instead, you will get crude vignettes, taking up nearly all the available space, with trees and other map-related features crammed in as a passing afterthought. The artists who worked on these clearly wanted to expend the least amount of thought or effort. The resulting artwork lacks soul, wonder, and it does absolutely nothing to ignite the imagination.
Remember that beautiful hill overlooking a glorious river valley where Belle twirled and sang of her desire for adventure in the great wide somewhere? The makers of this book sure don't. Nor do they recall the deep, dark wood that hid Beast's castle and separated it from her poor, provincial town. Here you'll find that castle and town sitting side-by-side, sharing a single zip code. The Lion King map implies that Pride Rock and the lands where Simba fled are within shouting distance. The map of The Jungle Book implies that every stop on Mowgli's epic journey back to Man's world is separated by nothing more than a few steps.
This is a frustratingly common theme. Places of interest are jammed against one another with no sense of distance or separation. Ariel's grotto, her father's castle, and Ursula's lair sit shoulder-to-shoulder, filling the two-page spread. It looks more like a toddler's messy playroom, not a record of an epic journey between two vastly different worlds.
The lack of creativity or imagination is the most frustrating aspect. The Toy Story map for some reason depicts Andy's home town; a dreadful, artless mess that looks like someone's half-hearted chore. Wouldn't it make more sense to show Andy's room, or Andy's house, since this represents the primary world inhabited by the toys? For Woody and Buzz, the furniture and stairs represent massive obstacles and geographical features to surmount. A shelf becomes a dizzying mountain peak when you're only a few inches tall. Choosing to show Andy's town is a bewildering and lazy dereliction of creative duty.
Even where there were established maps and diagrams of terrain available (as shown in the art books for Bug's Life, Cars, and others) this book has gone out of its way to dumb them down, if not to ignore them completely.
Some decisions are simply unfathomable. Coco's map shows the drab, dusty town of the living, without even a hint of the vibrant, chaotic spectacle that is the Land of the Dead. I can't wrap my head around this choice.
Not one of the people who touched this book had any kind of understanding or love for maps. Every page is an example of potential wasted and exciting possibilities left unexplored. Such a profound letdown.

I was hoping this would help introduce my first graders to the concepts of maps and atlas through something we all love - Disney. Sadly, it didn't fulfill that purpose.

This seems to be the same book as "Disney book of maps: A guide to the magical worlds of Disney and Pixar". Why isn't this noted? There are too nany classics missing from this atlas. Not a mention of Snow White, Lilo and Stitch, or The Princess and the Frog (the first Black Disney princess) ....among many others. Why??? It's only about 100 pages so there's plenty of room. The pages aren't numbered and a nice index would have been useful to find the lands and characters. Seems like an improved 2nd Edition is needed. Until then....wait before purchasing.

I initially was a bit underwhelmed by this Atlas. However, once I opened up the book and began paging through with my two year old, she was enthralled.
She loves the "key," of the map that follows each map on the next two pages. She will point to each character and ask "Who is that?" and I have their names listed right below them, so even when I don't know... I know. Then, we turn back to the map and play seek and find to find each of the characters from the key.
The maps are vibrant in color and keep her very interested. We paged through this book for probably 25 minutes with no stop the first time, and I know we will be coming back to it for a long time to come.
I highly recommend!

Maps are really just a collage of movie settings and characters. I hoped for some maps usable in Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Closest is Peter Pan, but island map isn't very complex.

Good quality book with lovely pictures. Not a story but shows characters from different Disney and Pixar films and maps of where the films are based. Looking forward to looking at it with my child when she is a bit older as she’s just starting to get into Disney!
