Product Description Add the magic of Disney to your family fun time! With two complete game DVD's, Scene It? Deluxe Disney 2nd Edition is loaded with new movie clips, trivia questions, and puzzlers from movies like The Incredibles, Cars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and many other Disney and Pixar favorites.
Amazon.com Product Description The popular board game that has players watching video clips and shouting out answers is now available in an upgraded Disney theme. This second edition of Screenlife’s Scene It? Disney game is chock full of questions, characters, and clips from both new and classic films from the family-friendly giant. From older films like Alice in Wonderland and The Little Mermaid to new favorites such as The Incredibles and Ratatouille, the game asks questions about unforgettable characters, songs, and scenes. Pop the game’s DVD into your player to start the magic and mayhem. Loaded with new clips and puzzles, this updated version touches on elephants that fly to cursed pirates and all things in between. There are over 1,000 questions on the 160 trivia cards, so even if you see the same snippet from the 180 on the DVD during the same game, the question about that scene will be different. Special technology randomizes the order of the clips to ensure fresh fun each time the game is played. The themed, interactive game board can be spread out for longer games, or folded when you don’t have a lot of time (or players). To help you move around the board there are four metal player tokens (Nemo, Ariel, Tinkerbell, and Lightning McQueen), one six-sided die to determine how many spaces to move, and one eight-sided die that determines the category to be played. Once the dice have been rolled, clips are watched, questions are asked, and it’s revealed just how much you know. Use observation, memory, wordplay, and puzzle-solving to answer various challenges about the imaginative characters, celebrated songs, and timeless storytelling you see on-screen. Categories range from Take Three and Songs to Mousellaneous and more.  | | All the components that come with this Disney Scene It? Game. | Not a longtime watcher of Disney and Pixar films? Don’t worry. This game is easy enough to learn and fun enough to play even for those who are not overly familiar with the plots. The trivia cards include questions for adults with separate ones for children, and some questions can be answered simply by paying close attention to the movie clips. There are also 30 Buzz cards available to help (or occasionally hinder) your progress. If these reasons aren’t enough to tempt you into a game on your own, then co-captain the Black Pearl with a friend or family member and play a few rounds in team mode first. A TV, DVD player, and remote control are needed but not included. The DVD includes an on-screen demonstration of game play. What’s in the box

Great for kids who love disney Posted 27 September 2008
My kids love this game we play it alot, my daughter is too good for me. Great game if you love Disney shows.
Fun but Too Difficult for Younger Kids Posted 08 September 2008
I am the oldest of 8 and, being much older than some of my siblings, I get to play the fun "aunt" and have game nights where they come over to my apartment. The hardest thing is finding something that everyone that comes (ages 7-23) will like and be able to do.
I thought this game was the perfect answer. Unfortanetly I was dissapointed as it is too difficult for younger ages and some of the movies pre-date what very young kids might have seen.
How It's Played:
The DVD has a very clear video explanation of how to play, but the basic premise of the game is a board game with a DVD extra. You set up the board game, choose your game piece, and go through the options on the DVD. You roll two dice (one with the question category and one with the number of spaces you can move if you get the answer right.)
(As a note, with younger children I just let them roll the category die first, and then if they get it right they can roll the number die.)
The categories are "all play" "my play" "take three" "songs, slongans, and sayings" "mousellaneous", "buzz cards", and "player's choice."
(FYI Examples are from kids cards)
"Take Three" You get three clues and you must guess the answer within 10-30 seconds. (Ex. What heroic Dinsey character is helped by a dragon and a cricket, must become a soldier, and wants to bring honor to her family? Answer: Mulan)
"Songs, Slogans, and Sayings"
10-30 seconds to answer question. (Example: "Gaston" is a song about a brutsih villan of what Disney classic?" Answer: Beauty and the Beast.)
"Mouselanous"
Pretty much every question they could think of that did not fit other categories. (Example: What four children are from Finchley? Answer: Lucy, Edumnd, Peter and Susan Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.)
"Buzz Cards"
Pick up a card and in a cute Disney way it tells you to move forward or back. (Example: "The Mad Hatter and March Hare are hapy to discover that it's your un-birthday! Move ahead three spaces as younjoy a tea party celebration!)
"My Play"
A 30 second movie clip from a Disney movie plays and a question follows. The question may be triva (such as what movie is this scene from?) or just observation (such as "What did the cats knock over first in this scene?")
"All Play"
This is an all out everyone plays. It can be a variation of my play in which a 30 second clip plays and a question follows, a list of 5 clues (read aloud) are listed and a character must be guessed, a "what character was cut out of this scene", a "remember where the villan is hidden in a 9-square puzzle, or a few other options.
They are all randomized (and all pretty fun).
If the person who rolled wins they move forward their rolled amount. If another person wins they move forward one space.
The object of the game is to get to the winners circle first and win the "All Play to Win."
Pros:
*Classic & fun Disney clips our entertaining for all ages
*The board part of the game gives you the option of folding it out for long games or folding it in for a much shorter game
*The DVD is very well done, easy to use, and fun
*You have many customizable options (such as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds to answer the questions.)
Cons:
*I expected this "updated" version to focus primarily on newer movies, but several of the questions and clips actually came from older movies (a few I didn't even know)
*The "adult" cards can be very difficult, even for the older players. Many of the questions aren't about movie content but who wrote a song in a particular movie or what was the name of someone who voiced a character in a movie. I didn't know these answers and neither did most of the older kids & adults who played.
*Younger children easily become distracted and bored with this game that I expected to be fun (and actually purchased with them in mind) for them. I play with younger kids on teams, but we still play shorter games or they get bored.
Verdict:
A fun game, I don't regret buying it. The 6+ age category is probably a stretch as I have found this game is much more fun with kids 9+... Younger kids can get bored or confused with the questions and probably require a partner. If you love Disney movies you will probably enjoy this game!
Seen it..Like it Posted 19 August 2008
This is a great family time toy. Once you start playing it is hard to stop and the surprises keep coming.
Perfect for all ages, even non-Disney fans! Posted 02 February 2008
My brother got this game for me as a joke since I'm such a huge Disney buff. I coaxed a few of my friends (all ages 20 to 21) into playing with me, promising them it'd just be one game. Four hours and five games later (I'm serious!), we were yelling out answers for All Play and jumping up to find the hidden Mickey ears. My friends didn't know too much about Disney movies, but enough to beat me for most of the night and have fun while doing so. The game gives two colors of trivia cards - green for easy and magenta for hard - so by giving me the hard ones and everyone else the easy ones, the playing field was leveled.
I was disappointed, though, to find video repeats within the fourth game or so. The video clips have many different questions attached to it, but we were getting the same clip AND question. Not only that, but the clips seemed to be mostly (almost a third of the time) about Chicken Little! There were none of the classics I was hoping for, like Sleeping Beauty or Peter Pan.
These disappointments were very minor, though, during game play. We just skipped the repeats, too anxious to get to the next question. Overall, this is one of the best games I've seen and played; I suggest it to anyone, although having a little Disney love wouldn't hurt.
"Scene-It" is as it Says Posted 29 January 2008
I could not give this any "educational rating" as this is a game that centers around memory to be sure, but the memories are not of ABC's and 123's rather of Children's or G rated movies. As such I'm really not sure how comfortable I am even with the memorization to give it that style of rating. Other than that here goes. My son and I had a great time playing this game. I had gotten it for him as a holiday gift. We played a few times and had quite a few laughs. If any critique could be given it would be that the more players the better and I imagine for a family time together larger than 2 or get together's this is a great game for kids and parents as we parents have seen all the same movies as our kids. The board can be set-up for a short game or a long one as it folds within itself. The game play can also be modified depending on players preferences, number of players, time which make the game very renewable. The game library is substantial and I seriously doubt you will catch the same question within a dozen or more games. I also liked that it came in a tin, for me a bit of nostalgia and practical application it will store better and longer than a cardboard box. It's a great game and will give you and yours many hours of enjoyment.
