“…J. Torres has done for a Pixar comic book what Roger Langridge did for a Muppet comic book. Torres overcomes the challenges inherent in adapting what one could view as essentially silent film and captures the same kind of cuteness, curiosity and innocence that allowed a computer-generated robot character to mesmerize millions.” — Eye On Comics

“…a near perfect job of making me think of Duck Tales or the old Walt Disney cartoons from the ’50’s they used to show on The Disney Channel. Pick it up to remember the good old days or for a new comics reader.” — Undercover Fanboy

“…this title is a winner among Boom’s new Disney line.” — Mondo Magazine

“… clever skewering of the spy genre at the beginning of the book segueing to some amusing romantic arguing, this book doesn’t talk down to kids, which is always great.” — Newsarama

Muppet Peter Pan writer Grace Randolph talks about all things Muppets on The Muppet Mindset
