Pixar’s Inside Out brings cooperative puzzle-platforming to Disney Infinity

Disney Infinity’s new play set breaks a lot of new ground for the platform, and it includes … pie cannons.

Pixar’s next film, Inside Out, is set for a June 19 theatrical release, and it will see a complementary game release as a new play set within Disney’s Infinity adventure game. It’s a showpiece for the company’s 3.0 version of the platform, which sees characters from the Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney brands coming together, and it adds new gameplay improvements. This all comes together as one of the strongest entries in the growing and competitive toys-to-life space, going up against Activision’s Skylanders and the upcoming Lego launch from Warner Bros.  A new report from The NPD Group shows that parents spent an average of $131 on these types of games in the last half year.
