Monopoly Disney Pixar Edition


Monopoly Disney Pixar Edition
There's a lot of wheeling and dealing going on at the Disney/Pixar-themed movie lot. How much would you pay for Edna Mode's mansion? How about the Parr's family home? Or maybe Gill's Pirate skull is more to your liking. Travel the board as your favorite Disney/Pixar-themed token, including Buzz Lightyear, Boo and Sulley, Nemo, Mr. Incredible, Lightning McQueen and Remy. Your favorite Disney/Pixar properties are now on the auction block, so make your way around the board as you buy, sell and trade your way to the top of the lot.

Includes a gameboard, title deed cards, money and banker's tray, six Littlest Pet Shop pet pawns, 16 catnip cards, 16 doggie treat cards, 12 dogs homes, 32 pet carriers, two dice and instructions. Tokens include Buzz Lightyear, Boo and Sulley, Nemo, Mr. Incredible, Lightning McQueen and Remy. For 2 to 6 players.
Customer Review: Great Version of Monopoly for the Disney Pixar Movie Lovers
This version of Monopoly is fabulous! We had been playing Monopoly Junior Toy Story edition for years and decided to upgrade. We made the right choice with this one. The kids, ages 11, 9, and 8 all stay interested with this version. I get tired of playing before they do. We haven't finished a whole game yet because it takes forever (what Monopoly doesn't) but the kids don't mind. They have just as much fun starting over each time. My second grader has also learned to add and subtract large numbers and also how to count money from playing this game. This game is not only fun but educational.
Customer Review: Great fun, but lack of female character's is a disappointment
I am a collector of Monopoly games and have always been impressed by the diverse selection of tokens available for each game - it's so fun to see if your favorite character made it in. With this Pixar Edition, this did not fail, it was just as exciting to see all my favorite Pixar characters, but the disappointment lay in the characters I did not see. Each Pixar movie has at least one female, so I was rather perplexed by the fact that one could not be included in the game. The only near female token is the Sully one that comes with Boo on his shoulder, other than that no Jesse from Toy Story or any other's you may be looking for. When I debuted this game at my monthly game night last month everyone had a great time, but about 80% of my guests also pointed this out. As much as I love this game, and as fun as it is to play, I find this an unfortunate oversite, thus the deduction of one star is required.
