Dig in to The Scottish Play with Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth. This hilarious, well-crafted app is appropriate for Shakespeare lovers of all ages, and is a great way to introduce kids to the spookiest play in the famed writer’s repertoire.

Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth features the tale telling hijinks of Michael Mills, a man who knows how to tell a story. He has the awards to prove it. The app filters Macbeth down to a nine-minute animated masterpiece that’s just the right length to captivate the kiddos without overwhelming them. However, that’s just the beginning.

The app also holds tons of educational and historical data and really digs deep into the life and time of William Shakespeare, all with a tongue-in-cheek flair that’s just plain hilarious. It also has the actual entire text of Macbeth in it, which is something I just didn’t expect.

I did find myself wishing that navigating the self-guided educational section was a bit easier. The kids ended up going back to the main screen and having to re-enter self-guided mode to switch topics, which was a bit annoying. If there was a better trick for this, we didn’t find it. Otherwise, I didn’t hear a single complaint about the app and had an awesome time flipping through it myself as well.

Bottom line

Even with a price tag of $6.99, I think Thumbnail Theater: Macbeth is an awesome find and highly recommend it to any family or Shakespeare lover of any age.
