Disney is helping kids learn to code through interactive lessons, games, and some favorite animated friends with Disney Codeillusion.

This online learning community was created by Yoshihisa Hashimoto, the game developer best known for his work on Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XIV. Disney Codeillusion is designed with coders of all ages in mind. The lessons are set up to make learning code and retaining all of that information easy. The Disney Codeillusion curriculum emphasizes rewards for learning the lessons, commemorative post cards, a Magic Book, and extra mystery puzzle are all real world perks that are means to incentivize learning.

Featuring some of the most popular characters and stories from throughout Disney’s history, kids can follow Rapunzel, Ariel, Elsa, Baymax, Aladdin, and the team from Wreck-It Ralph—and many more—on an educational journey. These lessons typically include 30 minutes of work and will teach students four different coding languages: HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Processing. Some of these lessons include games like Sugar Rush from Wreck-It Ralph, a Honey Hunt navigating game from Winnie the Pooh, and a Jewel Puzzle matching game inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

A free two week trial is available, and for those interested in a more long term course of study, the Disney Codeillusion can be purchased for $1,999.00 — which breaks down to $65 per month in the payment plan they offer. There are 125 lessons in the Disney Codeillusion classroom, so a free trial for such comprehensive training is something worth pursuing to test the waters before making a big investment.

Registration for classes through Disney Codeillusion has skyrocketed since isolation began, which is not too surprising. With this program, kids are getting a jump start on the future and adults are able to take their education into their own hands without starting over from scratch. The brilliance behind using Disney characters to educate people on coding is that it makes it accessible to everyone. It’s complex content put into a more approachable and familiar context than a traditional coding program that doesn’t have the adorable bonus factor of cartoons. Disney is for everyone, and now coding is too.
