Readers can try their own hand at animation by animating Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph using a 3D animation package based on real Disney software.
The app also features a timeline of all 53 Disney animated feature films along with including video clips. The app features more than 750 interactive illustrations, more than 400 short animation clips and more than 350 photos from Disney’s Archives.
