Watching the funny, outlandish stories in Mater's Tall Tales video shorts is plenty amusing in and of itself. This new app ratchets up the entertainment even further by injecting all kinds of interactive fun and games directly into the animated action. At the outset, kids set up their passport with a name and photo and then collect and add stickers to it as the videos progress. At various points along the way they'll take additional photos and watch them seamlessly become part of the onscreen animated fun. Another thrilling effect lets viewers color in scenes and watch them spring to life. The high points of play arrive during the interactive games and stunts kids perform right in the midst of the unfolding story - gyrating donut maneuvers, drifting obstacle courses, high dives. Children can opt to watch shorts with or without activities and minigames included or can choose to go directly to the games. Includes in-app purchases.
