Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Ridiculously tricky to use, this creativity program featuring Looney Tunes artwork is a real disappointment. What should be a fun experience is marred by a cumbersome, non-intuitive interface and by hard to understand character speech.

Kids are supposed to be able to create customized cards, magnets, stickers and so on using supplied artwork and imported photos. There are so many steps to each simple project, however, that children become frustrated fast and don't want to use the program. For instance, once you select a project, you have to switch to a second content CD-ROM to see it. The software doesn't tell you this, however, it just gives you a text message that says it can't find the project. Once you finally do get to work on something, you have to take it to different "rooms" to do anything with it. There's a photoroom, a writing room, a red eye removal room, a paint shop, a prop room....get the picture? It's just too clumsy.

Positive features can be found in the program- photo import capabilities, special effects like warping and rippling and a built-in e-mail address book. The program comes with some specialty papers like stickers and so on, and written help is available for those children who like to read manuals. Kids with real perseverance may appreciate these components, but given the complete picture, most of us will want to pass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looney Tunes Photofun, June 21, 2000

This software is so much fun--my granddaughter and I spend hours making pictures of her with the characters. The software is amazingly as easy to use as many other photo software products I have bought. The music is fun, a flying 2" bug interacts with the person logged in--says the name and gives help when needed. This is such a clever photo software--entertaining and produces great pictures and projects.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed, February 7, 2005

We were so excited to get this running but turns out it doesn't work with XP/NT. I realise that it does say Win 95/98 but I usually don't find a problem. I searched for a workaround, please post a note if you know one.
