Disney is selling a "Toy Story 5" Explore & Learn Lilypad tablet, a preschool-age device based on the film's flashy and mildly villainous character. Made by LeapFrog and retailing for $29.95, the real-life Lilypad features a small backlit LCD screen, an A-to-Z keypad, and three basic skill-building games to help kids count to 100, identify letters, and problem solve an obstacle course. It includes a feature to "jam along" to preset songs, including Mendelssohn's Wedding March, with sound effects like a ribbit, squeak, twangy guitar, oinking, and toilet flushing. The keyboard has six emoji: heart, thumbs up, smiling face with sunglasses, laughing squinting face, rolling on the floor laughing, and crying face. Unlike the movie character, which turns Bonnie into a tablet zombie and enables socializing via a "pond" feature, the real Lilypad has no artificial intelligence, creepy autonomous powers, access to toxic social media, or peer-to-peer sharing. Its texting feature lets kids push character icon buttons for Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Smarty Pants, prompting the Lilypad to say, "Let's see who's on the pond."
