The application targets parents, specifically moms, who want to distribute their family photos in a special way. Story will apparently hit the App Store next week.
The company also announced a new digital series of short films, which builds off the popular Swampy’s Underground Adventures and Talking Friends. The series will premiere later this year on Disney.com and across the company’s digital network. The original digital series, featuring the popular cartoon alligator, is going into its second season and has already amassed 27 million views.
