\u2018Disney Animal Crossing\u2019 is all over the video platform, but is it merely an imitation of everyone\u2019s favourite pandemic play? Or will Mickey and co have you enthralled?<\/p>\n

When I first noticed TikTokers effusing about something called Disney Dreamlight Valley,<\/em> I imagined it was your standard gem-matching mobile game, complete with in-app purchases and the occasional uncanny valley Elsa cheering you on from the sidelines.

Dreamlight <\/em>even rips off ACNH\u2019s rewards programme, rebranding \u201cNook miles\u201d to \u201cDreamlight duties\u201d, though it gives it a notably more adult \u2013 or at least, Disney adult<\/a> \u2013 interface.<\/p>\n
