I was unable to download this book to any of the apps I had availalbe, so sadly I wasn't able to read this book.
I love the Toy Story movies and this manga is just as good. The characters were well illustruated and it followed the original story (that it is based on) very well.
Toy story has a special place in my heart. Without a doubt toy story 2 is the best of the 4. This book pays respect in the best way. We enjoyed reading it. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book
Lovely children’s book to read. My two children were enthralled by it. So it definitely appealed to the targeted age group. It was a nice easy to read book that flowed well and was very well written
Tokyo Pop continues its line of Pixar-inspired manga with this terrific double-bill featuring the basic storylines of Toy Story and Toy Story 2, back-to-back in one volume. The black-and-white artwork leaps off the page, characters rendered perfectly from the films, as we are again introduced to Woody and company, and the day Woody meets Buzz Lightyear, his first rival for Andy's sole attention - and the follow-up tale, which begins when Woody is swiped by a rabid toy collector who wants to add him to his collection. Over 300 pages and I read the entire thing in two sittings (would have been one, but got interrupted), not only reliving the films but also almost wishing, multiple times throughout both stories, that I had a big box of crayons to sit and color in each page as I read it; that's how vibrant and alive and ... cinematic the artwork is to the eye. Whether for a kid new to manga who isn't a big reader otherwise, to a big kid who loves the Toy Story films and would like to take the journey of the first two again in book form. there's nothing not to like about these brilliant renditions of two of the most popular and beloved animated films in pop culture history. Highly recommended. 5/5 stars
NOTE: I received a free ARC of this title from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
Disney Manga Pixar’s Toy Story Special 2 in 1 Edition. I could not get this book to work as a Kindle copy so I could not review the book sorry. I would love to review but so many books come as PDFs and for some reason will not transfer to Kindle.thanks for trying to send to me.
Nothing new...same as movie, nice refresher though.............................................................................................................................................................................
I’ve been provided this copy by Net Galley. All opinions are my own.
4 stars.
This was adorable! I was so happy to dive back into the world of Toy Story and this didn’t let me down at all!
This comic was lots of fun with some giggling mixed in. Both my grandchildren gave it two thumbs up. Oh, and so did their best buddy from next door. Thanks NetGalley
'Disney Manga: Pixar's Toy Story - Special 2-in-1 Edition' by Tetsuhiro Koshita is a collected edition of the first two Toy Story movies in manga format.
The manga is exactly as advertised. The adaptation is pretty good and includes enough of the dialogue to make fans happy. The manga art is also very good and the likenesses to characters are well done. What gets cut are the few songs, but dialogue and story substitute for the scene when Jesse gets left behind, for example.
These movies are classics, and this is a good treatment of the material.
I received a review copy of this manga from Tokyopop, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
Thanks to netgalley.com and Diamond Book Distributors for the advance PDF file copy for my honest review. Not a bad read so far, nice change of pace from reading traditional books. Found it weird at first since your actually reading it backwards verse the traditional way and can't go wrong reading anything to do with the Toy Story franchise.
This was a wonderful manga to read in preparation for the up and coming Toy Story 4 movie. This manga Highlights the scenes from movies 1 and 2 and the art work was done well. I thank Net Galley for giving me a chance to review this book.
My first manga and it was a new reading experience for me. The ink drawings were well done and I enjoyed reading it
I enjoyed the pictures and it would be great at grabbing a child's attention. Since this is a graphic novel it seems like it could get reluctant child to read more. There are pictures of a popular movie so even a child who couldn't read could still tell the story just by using the pictures.
Loved the story and the graphics. I usually do not read graphic novels but I decided to try one. I was pleasantly surprised by the way the story unfolded. The graphics were easy to follow and the story moved along quickly. I will definitely read more.
As an educator, I feel that this would be great for a struggling reader who has seen Toy Story 2. It follows the plot of the movie pretty well which would support a struggling reader but is big enough that they wont feel like they are reading a "baby book."
