Max puts on his magic glasses – and everything changes.
In nine scenes, including Max´s room, the town square or the park, amazing things suddenly take place. The view through the glasses shows skyscrapers that wondrously turn into dominoes, flower beds that are made up of lollipops or a passing truck that displays a giant whale. The town squares church tower takes off as a fiery rocket, the statue comes to life and the man in the park doesnt just throw little sticks for his dog, but whole tree trunks.
Children between the ages of 3 and 7 are delighted with this particularly imaginative app. All backgrounds were hand-painted with watercolors. Five cutscenes lead from one scene to the next. The more than one hundred lovingly created animations provide additional fun. leed:audio Leipzig is responsible for the sound design; the jazzy background was created by saxophonist François de Ribaupierre and his band.
