“Our 3 year old loves this app! She really enjoys moving the characters around and making them talk. She giggles hearing her voice played back and is thrilled when the audience claps for her story. Keep these creative games coming!”

Pros and cons of Toontastic Jr. Pirates app for iPhone and iPad
Toontastic Jr. Pirates app good for
Walks kids thru the training and provides great ways for them to show their creativity.
I always liked to do movies or cartoons so that is why i love this app
You can record yourself a video and make characters to move along with it! Me and my friend did one for our project
My kids love this app! I completely recommend this app as a great creative app for kids. Please make more and return to the pay to unlock model in your next app as I am more than willing to pay for unlock/extra content! Wonderful app (we started with your Shrek toontastic which was equally awesome! ) please keep them coming! Also make the fixed intro to the scene short and skipable (or add disable intros in options). The created content is what we want to see, the intros get old fast. Great app!
Some bad moments
You can only make one movie then you have to pay to make more thats a rip off
Our 6- and 8-year-olds love playing Toontastic Jr! It provides wonderful opportunities for playful, creative family fun and helps our children make memories with their grandparents living in other states and with their dad as he travels frequently for work. Such a clever app!!
Ive been a long-time fan of Toontastic. Its the coolest storytelling app out there! The only thing is that it can be challenging for little ones who are limited on narration and arent yet able to put together a full-blown story. Of course, my kiddos still love making cheeky sound effects, moving around the characters with their teeny fingers, and bringing toons to life. Thats why Im psyched about Toontastic Jr.! Instead of having to create a story from start to finish, they can pick fun and clever intros that give them just the boost they need to craft their toons. The best part is that they can share story time with our families in Austin and LA. Its a brilliant way to bring everyone together! :)
Toontastic StoryShare provides families and classrooms with an amazing opportunity to connect with people anywhere. This app invites adults and children to co-create a cartoon from wherever they maybe. This experience, for children, provides an authentic and meaningful way to connect and collaborate with other children. Two thumbs up! Great work LaunchPad Toys!
I use Toontastic with speech kids and it is amazing. This app would be perfect if it allowed you to choose your scenes instead of having them scroll like a slot machine and allowed you to click when you want to start recording your dialogue instead of automatically counting down as soon as the prerecorded scene completes. These features do not allow kids to think of good dialogue. Also I have randomly clicked on the same scenes at the beginning because it scrolls so fast you cant see! I would like to be able to view prerecorded scenes before choosing them too. It would be fun if kids could view these multiple times and discuss what they think is happening or being said. Love the concept but it needs changes to be more user friendly.
I would love to see an option to email the cartoon so family and friends can see it as well. Is there a way to do this? I havent been able to figure it out...
