“As digital media continues to impact the way children learn, it is up to us to create products that enhance that learning experience,” said Russell Hampton, president, Disney Publishing Worldwide.

“Disney is all about bringing the most creative content to children and families around the world through innovative technology. Our Language Learning app delivers on that goal while allowing children to read and learn wherever, whenever, and however they want on their mobile devices.”

This app is the first in a series of leveled Disney storybooks that combine Disney magic with proven language learning methods where children learn key English and Mandarin vocabulary and grammar.

This first app story contains multiple versions of the Disney-Pixar title Toy Story 3, which gradually transforms from English to Chinese, mixing the new with the known by playing with 5 levels of the story.
