This is just as good as the movie! Which is to say, insubstantial and barely adequate. I would reluctantly recommend it as (1) a cheap gift for a child you don't know very well, but you know he liked the movie; or (2) a way to get an okay pair of 3D glasses at a local bookstore in an emergency.

I don't want to be too critical. It's not that the pictures are bad. In fact they are very good scenes, and the 3-D effects are well done. It's just that there aren't enough of them. The book only has 20 pages, and too many of those are filled with make-work "activities" such as easy mazes. I didn't buy this volume -- I just read it in the Barnes and Noble -- and I do not recall exactly how many 3D images are actually inside, but a dozen wouldn't be far off. Twelve pictures for six dollars is just not a competitive deal in the Internet Age, when you can look at much better stuff for free.

It does come with 3-D glasses bound inside, so it might come in handy if you need a pair right away, and cannot wait for mail delivery. The glasses will work well with any regular red/cyan anaglyph images, but I have two warnings: (1) these are the "hand-held" kind, with no stems, so you have to hold them to your face; and (2) make sure they are really in the book! The bookstore I visited had three copies, and the glasses had been removed from all three. They hadn't been stolen, just torn out by curious book-shoppers and then put back on the shelf.
