Baby Genius Characters Tune into App Market

Baby Genius, founded by Pacific Entertainment, is creating interactive 3D animated apps for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

The musical “edu-tainment” apps will feature Baby Genius characters Tempo the Tiger and Frankie the Elephant on LeftRight’s MYPAL series of apps, available now in the App Store on the iOS. Other Baby Genius characters will launch on their own apps later this year, as will compatibilities for other mobile and table devices.

The app will feature musical mini games, speech detection and allow video recording and video sharing on YouTube, Facebook and through email.

“It is exciting to be bringing our beloved characters to children with innovative apps created by LeftRight, a leading company that is definitely on the cutting edge of mobile application technology,” says Larry Balaban, chief creative officer for Pacific Entertainment. “We look forward to a long and successful relationship working together with the amazing talent at LeftRight to deliver on the Baby Genius mission of providing entertainment that nurtures and stimulates children with creative new apps.”
