Budge Studios Enlists Kids From Across The Globe To Help Create "Miss Hollywood Showtime"

Creative Pet App for Girls Expands the Storyline of Miss Hollywood Original IP



    MONTREAL, QC, June 07, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- BUDGE STUDIOS , the award-winning kids app company, is proud to announce the second app installment of its beloved Chihuahua fashionista, Miss Hollywood , and her furry friends. Joining the Budge Studios roster of entertaining children's apps, Miss Hollywood Showtime debuts as an original IP for glamour gals ages 5 and up. The app follows a troop of pet characters who live in an animal shelter that has seen better days. Through teamwork and creativity, users help turn the shelter from glum to glam.

Budge Studios' original character, Miss Hollywood, was successfully introduced in March 2014 with an impressive 3 million downloads, allowing girls to dress, groom, play with, and feed her. The character's second app, Miss Hollywood Showtime, was vastly expanded and enhanced in conjunction with the new Budge Playgroup app testing program by Budge Studios. The first program of its kind in the children's app space, Budge Playgroup invites kids and parents to test the app before its debut and provide feedback to improve the overall experience. Miss Hollywood Showtime was dramatically enriched by the feedback received, resulting in changes to the flow, script, and gameplay of the app.

"Alongside toys and TV shows, apps have become a wonderfully innovative medium for introducing kids to new brands and characters," says Michael Elman, Co-CEO and founding partner of Budge Studios. "We are delighted to see the expansion of our beloved Miss Hollywood brand, and we look forward to sharing her next adventures in Miss Hollywood Showtime with children all over the world."

For Miss Hollywood and her pals, it's Showtime! To spruce up their shelter, children select their favorite pet to compete in fun talent shows that award prizes to be used for the shelter's makeover. Users are challenged to style their pets for the runway in the Dress-up Show Challenge, to belt their favorite tunes in the Singing Challenge, to test their aim in the exciting Cannonball Challenge and to jump their way to winnings in the Trampoline Challenge. With over 60 decorative prizes, the pet's gloomy home can be transformed into a perfect pad for these pets. The app is available in eight languages to foster imagination and nurture self-expression in young style gurus across the globe.

To celebrate the launch of Miss Hollywood Showtime, Budge Studios is offering an exciting social media sweepstakes where fans can take a quiz to determine which Miss Hollywood Showtime character they are and win fun prizes. Enter at http://woobox.com/wam7zx.
