With Monsters, Inc re-released and the upcoming release of Monsters University it is nice that an app has been released so that kids can become reacquainted with Mike, Sully and Boo or meet them for the first time. The app is another one in the line of Disney’s Storybook Deluxe apps that come with a rich story that is nicely illustrated and narrated along with extras like games and more. This app is a nice addition to the line and comes with activities unique to Monsters, Inc.
To start off the app give a little info about how the monsters collect scream energy and to start the story your child has to roar into the mic. Your child also has to roar is they are going to play the Scare Cards game. The game is simple where your child must go through the Scare Simulator Room and avoid human children’s items like toys and things like that because they are “toxic” to monsters. Then when they make their way to the bed of the simulator human child they give a good roar to collect screams.
The book portion of this app is nice because once the narration of a page is read and you turn the page to reveal the full image there are parts that you can interact with. There are even video portions of the movie integrated right into the story.
You have the option of recording your own narration, turning off the narration so that you or your child may read the story or listening to the narration that was provided. In all, a pretty straightforward storybook app with a game added.
