Fun Nugget just launched Ty Inc’s first iPhone game. It’s called Beanie Ballz Bounce. Tilt your iPhone, iPad or iTouch back and forth to help the Beanie Ballz bounce past the Monstaz and collect Ty hearts along the way. The fun and family friendly mobile app is only 99 cents (a cheap Christmas gift) and features cute animals and monsters and easy access to buy the toys too.
KidScreen’s iKids conference yesterday was great. Lots of solid insight into the iPhone, iPad and Android market for apps with a particular focus on kids media. Met with reps from all the main digital ebook developers, game studios and even some brands. Got us going on some ideas for some of the apps we have in the works. More to come.
Got an iPhone, iPad or an Android phone? Now you can download a free Smokey Bear app that Animax built for the Ad Council. Learn the proper way to build and put out a campfire, download wallpapers and connect with Smokey Bear across all his social media channels. Animax continues to work on the social media marketing campaign — in a year that’s seen devastating wildfires, it’s been key to get Smokey’s wildfire prevention message anyway possible, on Facebook, Twitter and even now via a mobile app.
Almost forgot… We’ve also been working on another top secret project — developing a new iPad app for a classic kids brand. Will let you know when it launches so you can run out and download it.
Animax will be speaking at both the upcoming 140 Characters Conference in Los Angeles and at CTIA in San Francisco as part of the PGA New Media Council’s mobile sessions. at the 140 LAX event we’ll be leading a session on deploying social media to further the goals of non-profits, with a particular focus on our work with Smokey Bear via Twitter and Facebook. At CTIA, we’ll be moderating a panel focused on mobile animation. Let us know if you’d like to meet up at either event.
The Little Pim Word Bag iPhone app is still getting positive coverage from the press and blogs. Just today Celebrity Baby Scoop posted about it. Please note, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Justin Bieber are not in the app but the last we checked, they are celebrities. Animax Entertainment developed the app but has nothing to do with those famous people.
Animax Entertainment is at CTIA Wireless 2010 today talking on a panel entitled: Producing Mobile Animation and Games. The panel is sponsored by the Animation and Gaming Committees of the Producers Guild of America’s New Media Council.
Through case studies, this session will walk you through the relationship between the technology and execution of mobile animation. Learn from industry leading publishers, game developers, and brand marketers. We’re going to be reviewing some of our past work and lessons learned along the way as a producers of mobile and web-enabled interactive entertainment content. There is another panel as well in the program and a mixer so let’s meet up today.
One of Animax Entertainment’s first iPhone apps launched: Little Pim’s Word Bag. Aimed at toddlers, this pacifier app aka pass-back app will get kids tapping on your iPhone or iTouch to a different language. Kids tap through different cartoon flash card images presented by Little Pim the panda in both Spanish and French.The app was developed by Animax for Little Pim and is based on their award winning DVD series that was recently profiled by Wired’s Geek Dad blog.
As seen in Geek Dad, The Boston Globe had a nice overview article of the market for mobile apps specifically made for toddlers. An interesting factoid is that 60% of the Top 25 apps in the iTunes store’s education category are target to the toddler set.
We’re going to be launching the Little Pim iPhone app pretty soon – Animax will let you know when it’s ready.
Animax Entertainment announced a new preschool targeted iPhone app that we have in development with the folks over at Little Pim. Created in 2006 by Julia Pimsleur Levine, Little Pim is an award-winning foreign language immersion series for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. And yes – that name probably sounds familiar — Julia Pimseleur Levine’s father, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, created one of the most popular and acclaimed audio teaching language methods for adults. The iPhone app Animax is developing will expand on the DVD series and take advantage of the mobile platform. Kids on cellphones? A “pacifier app”? The future is now.
The news was picked up by our friends at Kidscreen Cynopsis Kids and Home Media Magazine.
Animax Entertainment is an Emmy Award winning studio that creates Flash animation, iphone apps, games, virtual worlds and fun stuff for all screens.
