Disney Princess: A Magical Pop-Up World

My three-year-old is completely obsessed with princesses and absolutely loved this book. The pop-up scenes make every page feel exciting and magical, and she enjoys looking through it again and again. It is a beautiful book and would make a wonderful gift for any child who loves Disney princesses.

We are in love with this book. It is absolutely gorgeous. It did come with some issues like the others mentioned but still it is worth it.

I am crazy about this book! I got it for my 2 year old who is in a princess-era, but I am keeping it for myself until she’s a little older and can be gentle with it. I could see how it would be easy to tear/break, but it’s soooo beautiful & detailed; so well made. I look forward to passing this book down for generations!

Special book Looove it

Run!! Do not walk ...to your computer, smartphone, 2 cans and a string....to order this Masterpiece of Pop-up from the talented genius, Matthew Reinhart!!! This book took my breath away!! It is absolutely one of the most beautiful, intricate, artistic, magical work of paper art! It brought tears to my eyes!! To be gifted with the hardwork, attention to every little detail, generous labor of love of Mr Reinhart is an honor and so appreciated!! Thank you Mr Reinhart so kindly for bestowing us with this magical work of art!! To all who worked so hard but so lovingly on this delightful page after page of pure joy and wonder!! Thank you soooo much!! This will be the perfect gift for the holidays, for the Disney lover, for young and old, for pop up books aficionados! ....Run.....!!!

One of the pop-ups didn’t work properly and caused the paper to tear, which was a bit disappointing. Otherwise, everything else is perfect.

I was happy to get my granddaughter something that is timeless. She loves to go through this book over and over. It’s great to see her interested in things that are not electronic

I read the reviews and almost didn't order this book. I decided to take a chance and am very glad I did. It came packaged very well. It is in perfect condition with no tears or anything. I opened each page to make sure it wasn't torn or stuck together or upside down as some of the reviews stated and, thankfully, it was in perfect condition. Such a lovely gift and I can't wait to give it to my niece.

Molto bello e ben curato

C’est un cadeau qui a fait très plaisir à une petite princesse Malgré un emballage un peu léger, et couverture, un peu abîmée, dû à un choc pendant le transport.

so in love !!

El libro ed grande y grueso, las imágenes son impresionantes. Es hermoso me encantó sin duda vale la pena. Recomiendo comprarlo.

If you love Disney, this is for you. If you love pop-up books, this is for you. If you love both, you’re gonna have a happy fit! I have a few of Reinhart’s pop-up books now (Game of Thrones, both Star Wars books, Cinderella, Jungle Book) and this one lives up to his previous impressive work. It also compares very well to other pop-up artists like Sabuda, Carter, Pelham, Ug and Fischer. I love pretty much everything about this book, except for the choice of princesses (though that is arguably subjective), but more on that later. The design, colours and presentation of the book and the spreads is just beautiful. The cover is simply gorgeous – embossed golden swirls artfully frame three of Disney’s princesses and precious looking gems. Reminds me of the storybooks with which most of Disney’s fairy tale animations begin. The colours inside are excellent and the characters spot on. It was an absolute joy unfolding each new spread and discovering all the big and little pop-ups for the first time! The pop-up designs are impressive as ever. I especially loved Rapunzel’s tower – standing at about a page and a half tall, complete with a swinging Rapunzel and cheeky Pascal. I was also thrilled to find the boat scene in there, with Rapunzel and Flynn (or Eugene :) atmospherically surrounded by the lanterns. Just lovely... Very impressive also the transformation of Aurora’s wood scene to her prince’s fight with Maleficent. The small pop-ups and turn-over flaps are also great! Other main characters and pivotal scenes in each princess’ life were chosen and artfully realised (who knew a whole carriage could fit into 17x8x6cm? – though thinking about its veggie origin I probably shouldn’t have been surprised!). There are only two things I disliked. Firstly, the main Cinderella pop up, her transformation from the shredded dress to the magical ballroom gown, doesn’t work so well. Cinderella once transformed just won’t stand up straight (maybe that’s just because she is checking out her glass slippers…). The second gripe I have regards the selection of princesses for major spreads. Within the limit of five spreads overall, all “original three princesses” (Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora) are featured, while it’s only Ariel from the “Disney Renaissance” and Rapunzel from most recent years. Don’t get me wrong, I like the original three but was disappointed to find that neither Belle, nor Jasmine got a major page. I was expecting Belle to be there as she is the first princess to be named on the pop-up book itself and as a - quote “fan-favourite” - as well. A little misleading in my opinion. And can you imagine Belle’s library in the castle or the ball room scene? Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts and Chip are also painfully absent. Sniff. Jasmine in the palace garden could also have been beautiful. There is Genie, but there could have been more of him in a major spread and, as we know, there isn’t ever enough Genie :) Also, I can’t help noticing it is only white princesses which make the large spreads (arguably from different countries of origin but nonetheless). So, the final verdict? A must-have for all fans of pop-up books and Disney and an appeal to Matthew Reinhart, could you do another one with the other Disney princesses that haven’t gotten major spreads here (Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Elsa & Anna, and Merida)?
