Apps we LOVE - SKIT!

Now with Characters from The LEGO Movie - Create a SKIT! and Win a DVD/Blue Ray

June 3, 2014
We just discovered SKIT!, the smartphone and tablet app that creates fun animated shorts -- like memes and remixes. It’s great for Kids 6 and up, they can invent stories using their own photos, images from the web or images and props from Skit’s vast, fun library.    

And what’s very cool is they just released The LEGO Movie characters, backgrounds and props including:  Emmet, Batman, Wyldstyle, Unikitty, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Wild West, Bob’s Kabob Truck, and dozens more to bring a whole new type of interaction to the content.

The SKIT! app puts The Lego Movie characters, backgrounds, and more into the creative hands of fans, allowing for effortless story-telling and sharing in a social environment where brands and consumers evolve with creative expression.   With the release of The LEGO Movie in BluRay DVD, Warner Brothers chose SKIT! to bring its fans satisfying, safe and constructive ways to make and share stories with The LEGO Movie characters, props and plots that have become synonymous with creativity and exploration.

For parents SKIT! Is great because they’ve introduced new COPPA compliant moderated “G-rated” pathways along with PG and PG 13 pathways, SKIT! enables the proliferation of content among the right age groups, making it the only social platform taking on the age divide. Allowing for worry-free play for their kids.

So kids can make their mom Wyldstyle, show they’re funnier than Will Ferrell, make or remix skits, be a good guy or bad guy and let the community play with, absorb and appreciate their creativity.  After choosing images, backgrounds and special effects, the user narrates and creates the animated skit, and then can share with friends and family on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and through text messaging, as well with the whole SKIT! community.

To celebrate the new partnership with The LEGO Movie, SKIT! & Macaroni Kid are giving away three copies of the new DVD! To enter to win a copy of The LEGO Movie, leave a comment below.
