Good viral video for horror movie promo. Same vibe as the ads in children of men.

Is the product the bear or the app? Use augmented reality software to bring the bear or any kids toy to life. Just don’t try it on Mommy’s toys.

So it’ll be a teddy bear with all the wit of … Cleverbot? I see confused children.

If the 10 year cycle between Teddy Ruxpin and Tickle Me Elmo was going to be respected, this is about 5 years too late. Maybe they’re looking toward 2016 to at least keep the year consistent?

Shades of The Diamond Age. And that ad was just _creepy_. I totally missed the implication – were they saying that the bear was more of a draw than the TV or the video game? Mom was stalking around like she thought her daughter had a man hidden somewhere in the house. But instead it was just silly old Pedo Bear…

Wait, wait… I’m pretty sure VentureBeat has the product entirely wrong. If you watch the video, what they seem to be offering is actually software to make toys “come alive” on an iPad, not a teddy bear.

Does it rampage? If it doesn’t rampage, I’m not interested.

OMG! Buzz! It’s being generated! Lack of information creates lack of interest.
