Product Description:
The problem with sculpting in clay is the mess, and if you're a parent, it takes nothing more than hearing excited voices shouting, "Play-Doh!" to raise the hairs on your neck and send you scrambling for the cheap tablecloth. The idea, then, of a virtual clay studio is appealing--all the creative freedom kids want, with none of the mess.Disney's Magic Artist 3D satisfies that creative hunger, at least to a large degree. Designed for the younger set, this basic 3-D modeling tool lets kids build shapes of their own, apply textures, group objects, and manipulate them onscreen. It also includes a modest library of such prebuilt shapes as a cow, dog, couch, doghouse, fence, wagon, etc. Any shape can be added to any scene, and then colored in a variety of ways--by using a paint bucket and a color of your choice, or by selecting a predefined pattern. Adding a striped design to a 3-D cow is always fun, especially when it's standing on a cow-patterned couch. The highlight of the program comes by adding Mickey Mouse himself to a scene. While this isn't an animation program, Mickey has some animated actions of his own--adding him to your creations and pressing the play button makes him do things like throw sparkles into the air. The soundtrack and sound effects are first rate--good speakers make a nice difference, too. Interesting and fun sounds reinforce the selected tool, helping you to remember which tool does what by differentiating it both visually and audibly. If you've got a little one that's dying to make things with his or her hands, Disney's Magic Artist 3D may be just the creative outlet you're all looking for. (All ages) --Mike Caputo

 Waste of money, 2008-05-13
You would expect a lot more from Disney, especially for the price. This software is horrible. You can't change much and is VERY limited in what it can do. Huge dissapointment for my child. Dont waste your money.
