LITTLE MERMAID, SECOND SCREEN LIVE

"The Little Mermaid" just got a little bit cooler. If you want to see how, then you're going to need to listen up.

"Little Mermaid Second Screen Live" is a new App that you can get on your iPad or iPad Mini. It allows you to interact with the movie on the big screen. The way it works is you bring an ipad and on the movie screen directions will pop up and tell you when the next game or sing alongs will begin on your Ipad. So instead of just one screen, you have two!

"The Little Mermaid" is, of course, a movie about a young mermaid named Ariel who falls in love with a human but is forbidden to go up to the surface (or at least, that's what her father the King says).

And now, we can experience all of this on our iPad at the same time.

One of the best things about "The Little Mermaid" is the songs. With the interactive App, I have a sing-a-long at my fingertips for some of my favorite Little Mermaid songs like "Kiss the Girl" and "Under the Sea." And when there's not singing, I can do mazes, uncover puzzles, and play trivia games that take you anywhere inside Ariel's world as the movie unfolds.

My favorite part of this Cinema/App Combo is interacting with the movie by playing games to earn treasure (points). If you get the most points, you get a special prize. I really like the games; but also, it doesn't take away from the magic of the movie itself - and that's a good thing considering I was watching a classic.

"The Little Mermaid" App definitely makes for a better repeat viewing. For example, I've already seen this movie many times, obviously; but now, with the App, it's as if I was a seeing a great film from a totally new perspective.

I think all ages will like "The Little Mermaid Second Screen Live" because instead of just watching a "little kids" movie you get to play games and sing-a-long with the action.

I rate this Movie/App five out of five stars because this is a very clever way to watch a movie and kids of all ages (and adults too) will really enjoy it just as much as me.
