Megamind - Storybook App
Is It Any Good?
Since it uses still shots straight from the animated film, MEGAMIND- STORYBOOK APP has great-looking, vivid illustrations. And the narration is appropriately corny in its exaggerated superhero-movie-ness. But while each page has an interactive element, most of those are only quick sound clips from the movie. Some of those soundbites are humorous lines that enhance the story experience, while others feel sort of random and don't add much. Several are just sound effects. Overall, this is a decently put together storybook app, but the story itself is simply a recap of the movie and feels a little bit too much like promotional material rather than a true storybook.
