DisneyVision is the most fun you can have with two inches of rubber and a spike

When it comes to merchandise, Disney has nearly every avenue covered. Spotted by Boing Boing, DisneyVision is a small TV-shaped box that comes with six famous Disney character figurines. Each of the figures can be placed on a rotating spike inside the box, which when turned on uses movement and LED strobe lighting to create the illusion of a zoetrope-like animation. Some of the characters, such as The Muppets' Kermit, work wonderfully, offering up a cute dancing animation, but, as Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow notes, control over the lighting and movement speed is down to the user, which can lead to some "hilariously horrible" glitches in the effect.
