OAK BROOK Ill. McDonald’s Corp. has launched a Happy Meal tie-in to the release of “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” which opened in theaters Thursday.

The figurines light up, and when viewed through the Seeing Stone a surprise holographic image is revealed. In the movie, the characters encounter fantasy creatures from an invisible world that can be seen only through the Seeing Stone.
