Disney PIXEL’D App Now Available!

Disney Interactive launched Disney PIXEL’D on the App Store today (http://itunes.com/apps/pixeld), a new app for creating original and Disney-themed pixel art and animations foriPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.  With Disney PIXEL’D, guests can create one-of-a-kind pixel art that literally pops as you make it, and then bring that artwork to life with an easy frame-by-frame animation tool.  Disney PIXEL’D is a free app that will offer regular content updates and in-app purchases for expanded sets of Disney character art and fill patterns for endless hours of pixel art fun.  Disney PIXEL’D was developed internally at Disney Interactive by the makers of the award-winning online creativity destination Create on Disney.com,whose guests have produced more than 16 million pieces of original artwork since its launch in August 2009.
