LeapFrog Entertainment to Join Walt Disney Records
All the Disney hits will be featured in the “Music” section of the LeapFrog App Center for the #1 kids’ learning tablets, LeapPad1™ and LeapPad2™, and best learning video game systems, Leapster Explorer™ and LeapsterGS™.
“We are thrilled to offer music from the most recognized children’s brand featuring favorite characters such as Mickey, Jake and Rapunzel,” said Greg Ahearn, chief marketing officer at LeapFrog. “Music continues to be an underserved subject area in schools despite the fact that it can benefit many areas of children’s development. Our team of learning experts worked with Disney to select age-appropriate music content that will provide children with hours of fun on our best-selling learning platforms.”
The albums will join the library of hundreds of educational games, eBooks, videos, music and more that have been reviewed and approved by LeapFrog’s highly experienced team of learning experts to be part of the LeapFrog App Center.
“We are very excited to showcase some of our most popular characters and songs on LeapFrog’s top-notch learning platforms,” said Rob Souriall, vice president, marketing at Walt Disney Records. “Disney has been a pioneer in kids’ music and LeapFrog is a pioneer in educational entertainment. Together we are able to offer millions of children the chance to experience the magic of Disney through music on their favorite tablet or gaming device.”
