I received a box of Disney Princess Palace Pets toys to test out and review. Opinions are 100% my own with some help from Eva.

A month or two ago I tried out the Disney Princess Palace Pets app with Eva. She loved it. She loved learning about all of these new pets that each of the Disney princesses have. She liked the names that they had, too. She didn’t know it at the time but a bunch of toys based on these pets would be hitting store shelves and I’d be getting some to review.

I was provided a download code to check out LA Luna: the Story Project app. Opinions of the app are 100% my own.

It is the first time that the young son had ever gone to work in the family business. You see him in his wonderment as only a young boy has. He tried to find his place and his own identity while both his father and grandfather offer him their guidance and attempt to get him to work as they do. Eventually the young boy find his own way of doing the job. He even manages to bring his two elders closer together.

La Luna Storybook

The Story Project app shows the reader multiple ways of looking at the movie. There is the short film itself. Then there is an interactive video, a storybook and a behind the scenes section. I love finding out more about the things I watch and this was a perfect app for me to learn more about La Luna. It also provided me with another way to share the story with the kids. I could read the beautiful book, show them the movie or we could listen to the book together. Then we can explore what it took to make the sounds, the characters and overall design of the movie. I especially liked watching the progression reel with the storyboard and finished film side by side. It would have been better if you had the option of making it full screen with one half the storyboard and the other the finished film. Continue reading App Alert: La Luna: The Story Project
