These companies are getting ridiculous for their quest to be in every nook and cranny of your lives. Companies that used to be simple family friendly types are now becoming grotesque monsters. Focus on making theme parks and movies, is that not enough?

Dear God, this is *so* creepy, especially when it’s most likely being marketed towards kids (why else would Disney collaborate with Amazon to make it?). Gotta get’em hooked on data hoovers while they’re young, huh?

that is similar to when anki vector had an alexa addon so you could say alexa or hey vector to call different functions. so it’s not the first time two voice assistants were used on the same device.

Update: If you want to hear what “Hey, Disney” sounds like, ask Alexa “tell me about Hey Disney” and you’ll hear him. (You don’t need an Echo device, you can do it on the Amazon Alexa app.) It’s not much, but it’s all we have until we get a real demo. Everything I learned is from an interview with Amazon and Disney, and the companies have been great at answering questions. But we will keep you posted when we can actually try it.
