Reviews

[Sara Dasí · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo he disfrutado mucho, casi volvía a ser una niña con un cuento Disney en sus manos. Nancy mantiene la personalidad de Hades perfectamente y casi parece que su historia sea cierta —que quien sabe, como la historia la escriben los ganadores...— Broma aparte, lo recomiendo para los fans de la película y del personaje. Las ilustraciones de Gerald, quien se encargó del diseño para la película, lo completan al 100%.

Fans of Scarfe's unique illustrative style might find some value in this title but the story remains weak and superfluous. Disney merchandising at its best!
