Magic Theatre Reviews & Awards

Magic Theatre won the 1994 GOLD MEDAL from The National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) in recognition of its superior quality in children's software.

...There is a word for programs like MAGIC THEATRE: cool.

...Magic Theatre is a wonderful tool for helping kids develop their storytelling and creativity skills. Show-and-tell will never be the same again

.... Spoken help and large icons make it easy for even little filmmakers to get the hang of the program.

....Kids who love to tell stories and kids who love to watch cartoons (have we left anyone out?) will find Magic Theatre fascinating.

...Magic Theatre...has it over most other contenders in this field. Magic Theatre wisely eschews multitrack event timelines, waveform editors

...Kids can just drag the cursor and hit the play button: The program records all mouse movements and makes the movie for them. No reading is required ... even a two or three year old can make an animated doodle that brings giggles of delight.

...a tool for pure worry-free childlike messing around. And that's how it should be.

... rated 5 stars.

...It was up and running in about five minutes.

...Magic Theatre appeals to a wide audience with varying interests. I recommend it to elementary school teachers looking for a new innovative way to inspire students.

... Outstanding-a "must buy."
