Disney Second Screen was an interactive application, accessible through a computer (via Flash) or iPad (as native app) download. It was an onscreen film feature that provided additional content for a user to view a film released by the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. The movie would link with the viewer's device through an audio cue, a manual sync, or with a visual sync indicator. As the film played on a viewer's television, interactive elements such as trivia, photo galleries, and animated flipbooks appeared on the iPad or computer screen. Disney Second Screen is currently available to use on an iPad or computer with Flash.
