Wonderful addition My girls are enjoying everything Princess Tiana and this was a wonderful addition. Remember to adjust the knob for the pictures from the movie projector to become clear. Good idea, but needs work The Princess and the Frog Movie Theater is a combination story book and device that's supposed to give your child the feeling of being at the movies. It includes the book, a wand projector and six plastic discs which are inserted into the projector. The discs can be stored in the little plastic case they arrive in, while the projector snaps back onto the story book for security when not in use. The front page of the book has clear illustrated directions on how to use the discs and projector with the parts of the projector clearly labeled. Embedded in the story are crown designs that are supposed to show you when to insert each numbered disc into the projector and when to rotate them. The story is roughly 30 pages long and uses pictures from the movie as the illustrations. My daughter enjoyed looking through the story and picking out her favorite scenes as we had seen the movie a few weeks ago. The projector seems sturdy enough and comes with batteries already installed. The focusing knob also helps to make the picture projection more visible on a wall, which is helpful. She really enjoys this set, but there is a negative. In order to use the projector, the room has to be dark. It's kind of hard to read the book in a dark room, so she's decided that she'll either read the storybook or play with the projector. I guess you could have someone read the book loudly in one room while the child operates the projector in the next room, but that seems like a lot of hassle. I'd give it three stars if I was using it, but since my daughter's played with it non-stop since it arrived, (and she's the target market) it gets four stars for entertainment value. very cute My daughter loves this book. The movie projector is a big hit. Cute concept. Cute story.
