Sure, your child can Zoom with friends or watch the Disney sing-along special (for the hundredth time), but how would she react if she could meet one of her favorite princesses in a one-on-one Zoom chat? These eight companies offers Zoom and FaceTime video calls with princesses, superheroes, video game characters, movie characters, and more! Plus, you can request many of them to say a certain message—your kids is probably likely to keep their room clean if their favorite character asks them to, right?
