Mickey and Minnie host a shallow musical presentation of 26 letters, each with an associated letter and short skit. This is one of two apps, see also Disney Buddies: 123s. Sometimes the letter skit is interactive, letting you do something letter-related. Touching the letter M lets you "Mail" letters, for example. The letter C lets you "Cut" a ribbon. This is a fun idea, but many times the items you touch don't do anything, leading to wasted clicks. This removes a sense of control (and the rating). Does the world need another alphabet app? Not in this case. Created by Spinlight Studio for Disney www.spinlight.com.
