I love these twists and have been wanting to read them for a very long time. These books are everything you want, a twist, a retake on those classic Disney etc films we've all grown up with.

I can't wait for more of the volumes of these loved and sort after to read books.

Disney’s Twisted Tales quenched my thirst for what ifs, alternatives and the twisted.
Our well-beloved, well-known Disney stories take twisted turns in this collection. Places are swapped, the after stories are imagined, characters have more agency.
Kudos for The Rose and The Thorns and Call it a Hunch.
The prose is 3.5/5
Concept 5/5

I'm an avid Disney enthusiast and a fan of the Twisted Tales series. I found this anthology particularly enjoyable. It's always a pleasure to read more about my favourite Disney Princess Belle. I'm looking forward to adding a physical copy of this book to my collection, alongside the others I've already acquired.

I found these alternative stories / endings very interesting. Thought Belle's story was particularly good, and I actually preferred this ending for her over the one from the film.
If you love the idea of reading some canonical Disney fanfiction, this book is a great pick!

I’m a massive Disney /pixar fan and I really enjoyed this book. It’s really helped tie in other characters and their background stories to the main characters and movies/books. I recommend to anyone who enjoys Disney you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this for an honest review.

This small short story book based on Disney/ fairytales. Is refreshing , the little mermaid story in particular was my favourite.

Eric meeting her , her voice not being stolen and Ursula has a more evil plan in hand.

I’d say it’s different and catered to Disney fans all over .

As an ardent Disney aficionado and a devotee of the Twisted Tales series, I found this anthology to be particularly delightful. It is always a pleasure to delve deeper into the narrative of my favorite Disney Princess, Belle. I eagerly anticipate adding a physical copy of this volume to my collection, which will complement the others I have already acquired.

If you’re a Disney fan and you’ve read the previous Twisted Tales then you know this is for you!
However if you haven’t this is the perfect starting point for you to try! Made up of 8 different short stories from The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Ratatouille, Bambi, Mulan, Brave and Treasure Planet these are an excellent introduction to the darker side of Disney! Perfect for quick bedtime stories for the older kids.
I thoroughly enjoyed them, as I have all the twisted tales and cannot wait to see what vol 2. will contain!

Disney done different

These are the stories we all love but just a little different, with familiar characters but different actions a whole new story is born, ones that are easy to imagine and wish that Disney did alternate endings in movies!
