In a new campaign video released on May 28, Samsung illustrates how Bespoke AI Laundry Combo takes the frustration out of an everyday household chore. The video was produced in collaboration with Disney and Pixar and showcases characters from “Inside Out 2” which releases in theaters on June 14.[1]

The campaign video provides a whimsical look at the emotional roller coaster people can escape if they choose Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Combo featuring functions such as AI EcoBubble.[2] “Inside Out 2” introduces new Emotions — including Anxiety, Embarrassment, Ennui and Envy — as main character Riley turns 13 and faces her next set of challenges.

“The collaboration with Disney and Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2’ was refreshing because we were able to come up with new ways of storytelling,” Jinny Jung, Vice President, Samsung Electronics, said and added, “We will continue to deliver to consumers the benefits of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo that help take care of their various emotions.”

Launched in February, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo proved very popular in Korea — with 1,000 machines sold in the first three days after its release to become the first heat pump washer dryer in the Korean market to record over 10,000 sales.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo revolutionizes the laundry experience by combining washer and dryer functions into one machine without needing to transfer loads and saving spaces by up to 40%. In addition, users can check the status of the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo and other SmartThings-connected home appliances via AI Home. AI EcoBubble makes laundry more efficient by optimizing the amount of bubbles and washing time on AI Wash & Dry and Bedding cycles by detecting the weight, contamination level and material of the load. Meanwhile, AI Energy Mode[3] reduces energy consumption by up to 60% when washing and 30% when drying.[4]

The collaboration with Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” will also feature fun takeovers at key retail globally with co-branded POS (Point of sale) and POP (Point of purchase).

As anticipation builds for “Inside Out 2” before its global release in theaters on June 14, the campaign video will run on Samsung’s YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook channels.

About “Inside Out 2”

Bring Disney Magic to Life

Have you ever wanted to meet the most famous mouse in the world? Samsung’s latest partnership with Disney is bringing your favorite characters to life with an all-new set of Disney-themed AR Emojis.

Users can now use Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, or Donald Duck AR Emojis by downloading the Disney characters from their camera and hitting record. The new Disney characters add to the variety of AR Emojis already available including your own personal My Emoji avatar and other cartoon characters.

AR Emojis use deep learning and facial recognition technology to map more than 100 facial features to produce a 3D replica, allowing users to create fun, customized messages to send to friends. So, whether you want to make your friends laugh as a silly rabbit, or tell them you love them as Mickey Mouse, there are more options than ever before on the Galaxy S9/S9+. Samsung and Disney plan to continue releasing more classic characters throughout the year, including favorites from The Incredibles, Frozen, and Zootopia.

Share More, Share Easier

Nothing captures a sarcastic quip or reaction like a good emoji or GIF. In fact, they are so good at capturing our emotions we send over 1 billion GIFs every day. With the Galaxy S9/S9+, Samsung has made them more customizable and shareable than ever before. The My Emoji feature automatically generates 18 emotions and saves them as custom stickers that are easily accessible from your Samsung Keyboard, along with other pre-loaded emojis and stickers. For now, there are 18 different custom stickers, but new updates will bring the total to 54. Since they use the AGIF format, you can share them with anyone, no matter what kind of smartphone they have.

Third-party applications also support My Emoji stickers through use of the Samsung Keyboard, so no matter the platform you use, you can send any of your custom emojis to friends and family. Besides the wide variety AR Emoji brings to your chats, Samsung has partnered with GIPHY so that sending your GIFs is even easier. So, if you’re just chatting with friends, or making a sarcastic quip to mom and dad, now you can send GIFs right from your Samsung Keyboard.

The new Samsung Keyboard features 30 categories of GIFs to choose from including happy, fun, thumbs up, and OMG. Whether you’re sassy, silly, or sarcastic, there is a GIF for you.

Choose from More Emojis Than Ever

While the Face with Tears of Joy may have captured the comedic highs and tragic lows of a generation, the time to update our emoji repertoire has come. Samsung has answered that call by adding more than 200 new emojis to the Samsung Keyboard.

In addition to the new emojis, Samsung has also opted for a redesign of the classic icons already available.

Whether you want to cheer up a friend, say “hello” to mom, or reach out to a lost connection, the Galaxy S9/S9+ brings you a plethora of options to express yourself, proving once again that it is built for the way we communicate today.

Samsung Electronics and Disney are bringing beloved Disney characters to life as new AR Emojis for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Starting today, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ users will be able to access classic Disney characters – Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse– directly from their phone to create personalized messages. For the first time ever, these Disney characters are coming to life in an augmented reality setting for communications and messaging. Characters from favorite Disney films including The Incredibles, Zootopia, and Frozen will roll out throughout the year.

“By extending our characters and stories to new digital platforms, we are creating daily Disney experiences everywhere our audience goes, and we are able to draw in new generations of fans,” said John Love, Vice President, Apps at Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. “The Disney AR Emojis offer an innovative approach to content for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ and a fun way to bring magic to messages.”

“With more than 6 billion emojis sent daily, our goal with developing AR Emoji was to provide a fun, exciting way to communicate and a new way to bring animated images to life,” said Younghee Lee, CMO and Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics. “We knew there was no one better to partner with than Disney – creator of some of the most beloved characters in history – to make our AR Emojis the happiest faces on earth and give our users access to the most popular characters to share with friends across platforms.”

Beginning on March 16, users with Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones can download Disney characters from the AR Emoji mode on their Galaxy S9 camera.
