Whirlwhim and Digital Media Interactive Release "The Bafflegagging Blundernagging Brothers" Mobile App

    WOODLAND HILLS, CA, June 04, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Whirlwhim and Digital Media Interactive (DMI) have announced the digital release of the popularized award winning children's book series, "The Bafflegagging Blundernagging Brothers" written by Aaron Mason and Doug Warr, exclusively on iTunes, iPad & the iPhone. The Lite version, which is available for FREE download, features over sixty minutes of read-along entertainment, educational games, groundbreaking animation and narrative from Maurice LaMarche ("Pinky and the Brain", "Animaniacs", "Futurama"). The critically acclaimed novel's mobile app features an all-star cast of voiceovers including Peter Briggs (writer of "Hellboy"), Matt Danner ("Dan VS", "Looney Tunes Show"), Darren Richardson ("Lost"), Matthew Wolf ("Pirates of the Caribbean") and original music composed by Austin Wintory ("flOw", "Grace").

"The Bafflegagging Blundernagging Brothers" follow the misadventures of bumbling brothers Exter and Grimwilch Blundernagging who are on a redemptive quest to make the world round. As disobedient children, the brothers opened an enchanted chest full of magical "Quiggle-Jibs" that have thrown the world into complete chaos and made it flat as a pancake in the process! With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the Blunder-brothers set off on an outlandish journey through strange lands and distant dimensions, encountering hilarious characters, using outlandish gadgets and gizmos, and defeating malevolent monsters along the way!

"Doug Warr and I always envisioned this book like a movie told on paper, and published it with that core idea in mind," says co-creator Aaron Mason. "But, thanks to the tireless work of DMI, we are closer to that vision than ever before. Their expertise and enthusiasm for the project has created something truly unique and wonderful. We are truly blown away by the level of detail and interactivity for the 'Blunder Brothers' app. It has gone above and beyond our wildest dreams. We couldn't be happier."

"Digital Media Interactive saw The Baffelgagging Blundernagging Brothers as an awesome story that we could pioneer onto the iPhone/ iPad," says Stephen Hodge, founder of Digital Media Interactive. We decided to push the envelope in terms of production quality working with some of the most talented people in the entertainment industry. There is nothing as fun, entertaining, and imaginative for the whole family on the iTunes store today like The Baffelgagging Blundernagging Brothers."

"We here at WhirlWhim strove to make something that stood out from the crowd (or, in this instance, the bookshelf). We didn't want to print a comic book, or a graphic novel, or even a regular kid's book," says Whirlwhim founder Aaron Mason. "So, we took a chance and made a book that was all three. Now we've taken another chance, this time in e-book formatting. This downloadable app, created with our partners DMI, is like nothing else on the app market today. It truly raises the bar! It boasts more original story, wondrous artwork, and interactivity than anything else we've seen. DMI pushed the envelope of what was achievable. The results speak for themselves. And just wait until you see book 2 in the series! It will blow you away!"

The Lite version of "The Bafflegagging Blundernagging Brothers" mobile app features three chapters from the nine chapter novel giving parents and children sixty minutes of interactive content with the full version being released in July. In addition, the app features three full educational games including a slide puzzle game, flip card game and trivia challenge to go along with each chapter for a blundering ole' time. Extra features include original music, narration and read along text scrolling.

"The Bafflegagging Blundernagging Brothers" was recorded by Bruce Robinson and Danny Wagner.
