New York, NY (PRWEB) January 07, 2014

‘The Official Nut Job Movie app is a great experience for the whole family, complete with a special story… It’s an app that will be sure to delight all ages,’ says Cupcake Digital CEO Brad Powers

Today Cupcake Digital, Inc. announces the arrival of the official app for The Nut Job movie. The app features an interactive story based on the hilarious animated family film during which Surly the squirrel goes on an adventure of a lifetime when his independent nature gets him kicked out of the park and into the big city. He then becomes an unlikely hero when he spots Maury’s Nut Shop just in time to help the park animals get ready for winter. The app allows kids to experience this high-stakes, nutty caper in an interactive format that includes four fun activities so kids can participate along with the movie characters. The app is available for an introductory price of 99 cents on the Apple App Store, Amazon Appstore for Android, Google Play and the Barnes & Noble NOOK Store (full price is $1.99).

Open Road Films will release The Nut Job movie nationwide on January 17th. The Nut Job is a co-production between Redrover Co., Ltd, ToonBox Entertainment, and Gulfstream Pictures.

Features found within the app include:

Deluxe storybook with beautiful graphics and popular characters from the movie
Tap-to-paint scenes from the movie using cool coloring tools and stickers
Watch the hilarious movie trailer over and over again!
Four fantastic interactive games:
Whack-a-Rat to collect nuts! The more the nuttier but be sure not to whack the good guys
Protect the nuts from falling into the gutter in the action-packed Squirrel Bounce
Sling nuts into leveled pipes in Acorn Scramble, a lively arcade–style game
Match the nuts, and fill hungry Buddy’s belly to beat the high score in Gone Nuts

“The Official Nut Job Movie app is a great experience for the whole family, complete with a special story that follows the heist planned by the mischievous squirrel Surly. It’s an app that will be sure to delight all ages,” says Cupcake Digital CEO Brad Powers. “As an app developer, we found inspiration from the film to create some really fun games and activities for kids to get familiar with these memorable characters and their world.”

“We are thrilled with The Official Nut Job Movie app. We worked closely with Cupcake Digital on every aspect to ensure its accuracy and the result is an app that encapsulates the essence of the story and transforms it into a full-on participatory and engaging app. Truly fun for the entire family,” states ToonBox Marketing Manager Nahleena Tye.
