The bot will also provide the opportunity to win cinema tickets to watch Aladdin so that families taking part will enjoy fun magical adventures together.

“Volkswagen and Disney are two brands firmly associated with creating memorable moments for families – whether that be enjoying a singalong in the car, telling a story from the backseat, or taking a road trip to the cinema to see the latest blockbuster. Our passion is people and that’s why we’re so excited about this collaboration with Disney.” Commented Bruno Gisquet, Marketing Director of Volkswagen Middle East.
