Disney Tangled Digital Book Review

Eva and I got a copy of Disney’s Tangled Storybook Deluxe app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. This is a wonderful app because in addition to an interactive book similar to The Lion King: Timon’s Tale, it is actually full of much more content. The Tangled app has puzzles, coloring pages and other fun interactive things for kids. Eva loves this app because of the cool things that she can do with the app.


The storybook has even more features like the ability to record your own version of the story. There are also games like “Catch Pascal” and “Catch the Lantern”. This is definitely a Deluxe Storybook and I think that every one of the Disney Digital Books should have these sort of features. This story was rich in color and activities and the clips from the movie helped to bring the story to life.

Tangled was the very first movie that Eva saw in a movie theater. It will always hold a magical place in our hearts. This app is a perfect compliment to the movie. Here is the full Press Release below.

One thought on “Disney Tangled Digital Book Review”

  1. I love how developers are making apps like these that are somewhat education. In the case of the Tangled app it has puzzles which are great for developing minds, and you can read along from what i saw in the video and what you’ve said above.

    Bravo to Disney for this amazing creation for kids
