“Ariel’s Musical Surprise” App Launches on Apple’s iTunes
Brought to you by Dreamplay for the Disney Princess line, Ariel’s Musical Surprise app is an enchanting look into Ariel’s Grotto as her fishy friends prepare for a surprise party for Ariel.
The app has a number of fun activities for children. In the grotto, they can paint fish and give them a voice, interact with various objects and discover hidden treasures. There are also four toys (that represent actual toys JAKKS Pacific makes for the Disney Princess line) scattered within the grotto that provide more fun and games.
If you own the actual toys, using augmented reality, the app will recognize them as markers and magically make the characters from the app appear next to them in the smart device. Using these Dreamplay-enabled toys, the child can learn how to play bongos with Sebastian, dance like a mermaid, cook an undersea feast for Ariel’s Surprise Party, or play the keyboard with seahorses. They can even teach an orchestra of fish to create unique songs.
When approached by Dreamplay to work on this state of the art app, Creative Capers was thrilled to bring their expert knowledge of Disney game development to the project. CC handled animation, art direction and UI design and packaging the animation in Unity for the app developers.
