Disney’s Toymorrow Team to Discuss Web-Connected Toys

It appears that the Toymorrow team in Disney’s R&D group at Consumer Products has a few thoughts about web-connected toys – so much so that they have a discussion planned at the Engage Conference and Expo on September 22nd in Santa Clara.  The head of the Toymorrow team, Armen Mkrtchyan, well talk about online developments,

Disney Classic Console: Game & Watch

At this point, I’ve written about a number of Disney video games on a few different gaming consoles.  But Mickey got his start in gaming years before any of the games I’ve mentioned so far.  The relationship between Mickey Mouse and Nintendo actually goes back to 1981 (a few years before the original Nintendo Entertainment

Disney Classic Console: Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour.

Disney’s Classic Console: “The Lion King.”

It’s time to continue our tour of classic Disney video games!  In the third installment of this series, we’re looking at another of my personal favorites.  The Lion King was published by Virgin Interactive and released on December 8, 1994 – just about six months after its mega-successful movie counterpart.  It was released on a

Alright, so the last Disney Christmas item may have been a little expensive.  I’ll try to make up for it this time.  This gift idea features everyone’s favorite intergalactic space ranger in a rather festive mood, because the third edition of A Disney Tech Christmas is the iDance Buzz Lightyear MP3 Player by Thinkway Toys.
