Disney’s Story App Now Available for Apple Products

Saturday, May 11, 2013 Ashley 3 Comments

Disney Interactive recently launched a digital storytelling app called Story. This app is for iPhone and iPod Touch (and also works on my iPad 3). If you are anything like me,then you probably have lots of pictures and videos on your phone! Disney Interactive has found the perfect solution with this app! Now, you can drop your pictures and videos into a pre-designed storyboard.

From what I’ve seen so far, this app is very easy to use. All you have to do is drop in your pictures/videos and text and the hard work is done for you. You can customize from 5 themes (modern, classic, story, fresh, and Mickey). Once you are finished, this app allows you to share your creation via email or Facebook. You can even embed your story on your blog or website!

Disney Apps for Sale in the App Store

Monday, March 4, 2013 Carrie 2 Comments

Disney has three apps on sale for iOs until March 4th. I was so lucky to get to review these three apps for my little one, and I hope you’ll take advantage of this sale!

Toy Story 2 Read-Along for $1.99 (orig. $4.99)

In this action-packed adventure, Woody learns all about his past and makes new friends that are sure to last a lifetime. Delightful animations and surprise features fill each page, and children can even record their own voice and listen to themselves narrating this lovable tale.

Here is What I Thought: Your preschooler and early reader will enjoy this app because it has the option of letting the narrator read to your child OR your child read it for him or herself. The voice recording feature was so fun for my daughter, and I liked that it could personalize the narration. If I wanted to record myself reading, or let my daughter hear me reading the story to her when I’m not around, I could.

Today, Disney Interactive launched the new game, Toy Story: Smash It! The game lets you knock down aliens and stop Zurg by aiming and shooting bouncy balls at different alien’s defensive bricks, glass and trains. There are over 60 levels which get more challenging as you progress. Here’s what Disney Interactive has to say:

Inspired by the original Disney•Pixar animated classic “Toy Story,” Toy Story: Smash It! lets players blast bricks, bounce balls and beat rainy day boredom alongside Andy’s most beloved toys. Toy Story: Smash It! is a brand-new 3D physics-based puzzler that pulls players right into the world of this most beloved of Disney•Pixar titles. Kidding around is the name of the game, as players help Buzz and the toys beat the boredom of a rainy day by knocking down their alien friends with bouncy balls all over the room!

Players of Toy Story: Smash It! will team up with Buzz Lightyear through four imaginative episodes and over 60 challenging levels, using advanced, house-breaking physics to knock down aliens and stop the evil Zurg! Players can also choose between different bouncy balls with unique power-ups, meet up with Woody, Rex, Hamm and Jessie, and replay each episode along the way.

Toy Story: Smash It! features include:

Ability to play as Buzz Lightyear
Aiming and throwing with advanced, house-breaking physics
Blasting through four unique episodes and over 60 clever levels
Bouncy balls with exclusive power-ups

New Toy Story moments with Woody, Rex, Hamm and Jessie throughout the game

Here are some great shots from the game:

Toy Story: Smash It! is now available for $0.99 for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad on the App Store and for Android devices on Google Play.

The game looks fantastic. (You can check out the trailer to see more.) I’m sure my boys are going to love this game! We’ll be testing it over the weekend, for sure!

Happy Smashing,

Amy

UP App Available On the App Store… Squirrel!

Saturday, February 9, 2013 Carrie No comments

I am loving the Disney iPad apps-especially this new storybook one-Dug. I feel like there are a lot of Disney movies that don’t get the love they deserve. UP is one of them! It’s such a heartwarming love story, and Dug the dog is as cute as can be. He makes his appearance {squirrel} in this new Dug Disney Storybook app available for iPad on the App Store.

As soon as you start up the Disney Storybook App, you’re eye to eye with Dug. His cute little tail is just wagging along to the whistling music. And, he immediately says he loves you! How sweet! Here is what I love about My Name is Dug:

Whimsical, water color like illlustrations
The options are Read to Me or Read it Myself, making it adaptable for pre readers and parents.
Easy, short text on the pages helps the story move along quickly.
Dug is following a bird through the story, and it’s marked by his sniffing trail. So cute!
You can easily add a bookmark to pick up where you left off.
An easy, fun way to introduce your children to other Disney characters.

We are always looking for ways to bring the Disney magic into our house…and in this case take it along with us. Having Disney Storybook Apps on our iPads makes it easy to keep our preschooler entertained, while learning. I highly recommend the Dug Storybook App for the iPad.

Magically Yours,

Carrie
