Disney’s ‘Second Screen Live’ invites kids to bring their iPads to the movies

Typically, when you go to a movie theater to watch a film, you're asked to shut down all mobile devices. "Please silence your cell phones now," is a common request you'll see on screen, right before your flick begins.

But that won't be the case at Disney's The Little Mermaid: Second Screen Live event. Movie-goers will actually be encouraged to bring along their iPads, and use them, as they interact with the film using a special app...
