On the Radar…

It was announced yesterday that Boulder-based Kerpoof Studio was acquired by Disney back in July. The financial terms were not disclosed. Kerpoof provides a kid-friendly website that enables children to create pictures and short movies online, primarily through a drag and drop interface. The technology includes features like resizing objects as users drag them to the foreground or background. Most features on the Kerpoof site are free but they do offer a premium membership for just over $4 per month that provides access to more characters and functionality. The clearest point of integration between the two companies is the inclusion of Disney characters among the objects that can be added to drawings and movies. While Disney will continue to run Kerpoof.com, the technology is also being integrated into Disney.com.
