On September 16, Warner Bros. unleashes the blockbuster movie “Godzilla” on Blu-ray, as well as the skitable movie assets, including the legendary Godzilla himself, to the SKIT! community.
SKIT!, the smart phone and tablet app that creates fun animated shorts, is going toe to claw with Godzilla, the legendary mutated reptile. Today, September 16, Warner Bros. releases the Blu-ray version of the blockbuster 2014 movie “Godzilla” and also releases the movie’s skitable assets — including Godzilla, backgrounds, props fx, and more — for the community to create with via the SKIT! story app.
It’s a pairing of exciting contradictions: SKIT! is the popular app that lets members express their individuality, creativity and imagination, while Godzilla is the global symbol of destruction and chaos.
“This really is a case of opposites attract, a merger that brings together a destructive force of nature with some of the most creative people on the planet,” said SKIT! Co-founder, Robin Johnson. “Showcasing Godzilla’s powers of destruction and chaos should make for some epic fun. But I also challenge SKIT! members to think outside the box and design skits with Godzilla that are funny, clever, sarcastic and silly. There really are no limits to what a SKIT! member can do with a radiation-gobbling alpha predator.”
The Godzilla movie assets will bring a whole new level of interaction and creative options to SKIT! members, whose arsenal of tools has been growing exponentially. Earlier this month, SKIT! announced the ability of users to incorporate their favorite animated GIFs into their creative skit ideas. And this past June, SKIT! and Warner Bros. released “The LEGO Movie” characters, backgrounds and props including — Emmet, Batman, Wyldstyle, Unikitty, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Wild West, Bob’s Kabob Truck, and dozens more — which proved to be an instant hit with SKIT! members.
With protected pathways for both kids and adults, SKIT! is great for all ages and groups, for individual or group play. It’s free to download and use, available on iPhone, iPad, Android and Kindle. Download SKIT! on a tablet or smartphone device through the iTunes App Store, Google Play, or Amazon. After choosing images, backgrounds and special effects, the user narrates and creates an animated skit, and then shares with friends and family on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and through text messaging, as well with the whole SKIT! community.
