The creepy factor though (Off-Topic)

Did you see the bit in the article where they mention they can change assets on the fly, so the princess in the movie is wearing the same princess dress you just bought for your little girl?

That's some manipulative stuff. Imagine if the princess is wearing the more expensive dress you *almost* bought? Now your daughter is going to scream for it because it's the one from the movie. Tailored ads are bad enough, but linking the tailored products to emotional tie-ins with your entertainment is next level creep.

That being said, the film editing biz has been ripe for a new player for a couple of years now, and this seems like a powerful tool that could step in.
