Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a pop-up illustration from a Disney movie. Cinderella waves, Hercules flexes his muscles, Pinocchio's nose extends toward the margins, and Excalibur (incorrectly) represents the letter X. The paper engineering is excellent, though the colors are gaudy. The animated films that feature the depicted characters are not identified--a surprising omission in a commercial project of this type.
