Review - Second Screen Live: The Nightmare Before Christmas!

One of my favorite movies has been brought back in a completely fun and interactive way! The Nightmare Before Christmas has added Second Screen Live for the iPad!

My friend Daisy and I are already veterans of Second Screen Live having gone to check out The Little Mermaid last month when they were offering this unique way of "breaking the rules" to use our iPads to play games, trivia and sing-a-long in real time with the movie! This time however we also brought some friends! This is such a great way to have fun with your friends and everyone else in the theatre!

We are just about ready to start!

The games are harder than they were for The Little Mermaid but I figure this is because the audience is an older one for The Nightmare Before Christmas!

An example of one of the trivia questions!

Another one of the games we get to play during the movie!

It's sing-a-long time! It's ok to sing as loud as you can!

Just like The Little Mermaid you are placed on a team! I was on the Jack Skellington Team! We were easily in the lead for the entire movie!

More fun games to play and earn points!

Time to roll the dice!

I didn't hit the jackpot on this version of slots!

I was the winner! We had such a great time and can't wait to do this again! I hope Disney adds this to more of their animated movies! If they do I will be in line each and every time!

So, bring your iPad, download the app (Download the Second Screen Live: The Nightmare Before Christmas app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disney-second-screen-live/id705337245?ls=1&mt=8) and head to these select theaters for this fun, interactive movie experience!

Review of The Little Mermaid Second Screen Live!

My friend Daisy and I went to the first showing of The Little Mermaid Second Screen Live at Downtown Disney in Anaheim.

The Second Screen Live allows one to bring their iPad into the theater and play games, answer trivia and sing-a-long with the songs while watching the movie on the big screen with other theater goers.

This is the second time Disney has offered this one of a kind experience in the theaters. The first was for The nightmare Before Christmas that they are doing once again this year. 

Getting ready for the movie to start!

There is an intro from Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel, who takes you through the process to make sure your iPad is ready to go.

One of the mazes you get to do to help some of the characters out as the movie unfolds. It's all synched up with the movie in the same way that Disney offers Second Screen on some of their blu-rays for the home audience. But the home audience only gets to use Second Screen for additional information. Second Screen Live in the theaters is all about fun and games while you watch the movie.

I found myself singing louder than normal!

Under The Sea!

You know you want to Kiss The Girl!

Now I didn't take any photos while the trivia was playing because they have a time limit and the faster you answer the more points you get! The person with the most points won a prize at the end of the movie! The movie even takes breaks while the characters interact to show off point totals and more!

Sasaki Time for the win! Actually Daisy won but our iPads kept showing different scores! We brought this to the Disney reps attention at the end of the movie.

This Limited Collector's Edition individually numbered poster was our prize!

Daisy and I loved this and wish that there were more people in the theater to play against. We are definitely fans and are encouraging more friends to come and check this out! We both look forward to The Nightmare Before Christmas and hope we get invited back for another media preview!

An iPad is not necessary if you just want to watch the movie but you will feel left out when others are cheering or laughing at the games they are playing throughout the movie!
