We're pretty sure in my family that my obsession with dragons started with Figment. When I was four, my parents left us with Grandma and went to Disney World. The gift that they brought back for me, to apologize for going to WALT DISNEY WORLD WITHOUT THEIR BELOVED CHILDREN, was a t-shirt of Figment and Dreamfinder and a stuffed Figment. I still have that Figment. Hell, I still have the shirt, lovingly preserved in my cedar chest. And that's when it all began. The dragons: plastic, pewter, stuffe...
There may not be a theme park character more deeply loved than Figment, star of EPCOT's Journey into Imagination pavilion. This book has nothing to do with the current version of the Journey into Imagination ride, about which the less said, the better. Instead, it's a tribute to the sadly gone former version of the ride (one of Disney World's greatest missteps, in my opinion), as well as the backstory of Figment's co-star on that ride, Dreamfinder. As such, it will have very limited appeal to an...
Giving characters old-timey names and places science-y ones that no one has ever heard pronounced isn't interesting or creative, it's annoying to the brain, grating to the eye, and offensive to the ear. Add in a nonsense plot about..harnessing imagination?.. and you get a cheap Green Lantern knock off.
Really cute steampunk graphic novel with fabulous friends to help save the world from bad imagination.
Interesting.... The first wasn't too special and only had just enough hook to make me curious about the next one. Hopefully there is more to come.
This one's rather all over the place. The blurb promises something of a streampunk adventure with an imaginary streak, only to dive headfirst into the latter and forget the former altogether - then off it goes into alien invasion, before finishing off with a battle of Chaos versus Order, setting itself firmly into the former camp.Its writing seems to be all for children - teaching them to follow their dreams, to value their imagination, and to rebel against authority figures - but the artwork an...
Picked this up at the gift shop after the Figment ride at Disney World, for authenticy's sake, but was surprised by how enjoyable it was.Telling the story of the Dreamfinder and how Figment came to be, this is a fun little romp through the world of your imagination that has a lot of little tidbits about free thinking and faith in yourself which really echoes the Disney mentality behind the original ride. The b-plot bubbles away nicely too until it becomes the a-plot in the final issue, and the e...
A sweet, bite-sized tale, filled with good old fashioned Disney idealism, goofy puns, heartfelt friendship, and gorgeous artwork. Recommended for any Disney fan, young and old alike (particularly one with an affinity for the Disney Theme Parks), steampunk aficionados, and fans of cute cartoon dragons. Doctor Who fans might get a kick out of it, as well.Figment the Dragon was first introduced in the EPCOT park in the 1980's, as a promotion between Kodak and Disney. The hyper, easily distracted li...
It's Figment (the greatest character Disney has ever created) meets steampunk. You don't get a much more awesome concept than that! And it is beautifully rendered in this volume. I just love the idea so much that I wish there was more to the story. I could easily read a much longer book or whole series staring Figment (which is impressive, considering the fact that I do not graphic novels much).
Figment is Chimara are such cute and creative characters. I enjoyed this graphic novel quite a lot and intend to continue them.
This story is for kids. Only kids. No grown-ups allowed! Thanfully, it's short and has nice covers. It's all about thinking positive thoughts, using your imagination, making friends. Cute, but nonsense.Blarion 'Blair' Mercurial is an inventor at the Academy Acientifica-Lucidus. He is a rebel of sorts, not one to follow orders or a plan. His experiment causes concern for his superior, chairman Illocrant, who needs Blair to work on discovering a source of energy. Instead he manages to apparently c...
this made my heart so happy
Back in 2009 when Disney bought "MARVEL" back in 2010, some of the best writers at MARVEL teamed up with the Disney Park Imaginers to create three different series of comics based off the most popular attractions at the parks including Big Thunder Mountain, The Haunted Mansion, and Journey into imagination. The last one I mentioned will of course be the one we will discuss today, But will this book be full of imagination or will it make us want a graphic novel based off the country bears? Lets f...
Cute story about the power of imagination.I confess I have never been to Epcot so this was the first I'd heard of Figment the purple Dragon. How has Disney never made a movie about this? Anyway there's a comic now so it's a start. I picked up mostly because of the steampunk cover art. The inner art wasn't as good as the cover art, but then it never is. The cover art is more polished so that people will buy it.
I have loved Figment since I first met him at Epcot Center, so when I saw this graphic novel I was just super excited. No surprise that I absolutely loved it, I mean it's Figment after all, it would be hard to ruin anything that Figment is involved in. My only critique is that it is too short, I demand more Figment!!!
