Yea I'm not really surprised, Rumor has it that Disney animated the Strong Hold video. I'm guessing they have some sort of partnership together.

Part of the reason this will be a big deal is because of who we've partnered with on this new approach to the season: the legendary storytellers of Walt Disney Imagineering. Imagineers are masterful at blending storytelling with creativity and innovation to create totally immersive and emotionally engaging experiences for millions of guests around the world.

Video on DailyMotion. Robots appear at 16:50 into the episode. There are 2013, 14, and 15 robots, plus the generic ones.

This weekend, I saw a Vex robotics commercial and a Meccano commercial on Disney XD. I'm glad that robotics is getting more publicity, especially with Disney. Looks like Disney is promoting more robotics in general. Now, if only we can get a FRC commercial airing...

Sidenote: the commercials aired during Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls, which are popular among older (think high school aged) viewers (compared to other Disney shows), so that's good placement on Disney's part.
