Toy Story follows the adventures of Woody and his friends using classic storytelling where the reader follows the highlighted words as they are spoken. This is accompanied by brilliant onscreen animation, clips from the movie and punctuated by games and activities along the way. If you or your child wants to read out the story, simply turn off the commentary. There is an option to record your voice reading the story, although you have to be pretty close to the mic for your voice to be caught. A press of the ‘Mickey Mouse’ icon allows navigation to previous pages. Your child can color in a predrawn picture using his fingers and a paint palate. These make full use of the touch screen and can be saved and viewed later. There are three to choose from altogether. Toy Story has some great little games included. In Toy Barn Maze you guide Buzz Lightyear all the way round, collecting various toys on the way to the exit. For Parachute Jump you use the iPad tilt to avoid hazards before you land – its very simple but great game play for the young. This magnificent multimedia extravaganza includes original songs from the movie and a karaoke option so you can have a sing along. You’ll immediately recognise the movie star voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. I loved Toy Story as a movie and this app really does the movie justice. Pixar should be proud of the animated elements in the games and animation. This is an interactive storybook with mega bells on. How much do you think for this great app from Disney? Nothing. Zero. Nil. It’s a freebie. Fantastic!
