PRESS RELEASE: Disney Interactive Studios Announces Toy Story Mania!, Inspired by the Disney/Pixar Feature Film “Toy Story,” Exclusively for Wii™

Beloved “Toy Story” Characters and Theme Park Attraction Provide Backdrop for Family-Friendly Carnival-Style Video Game

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Disney Interactive Studios today announced Toy Story Mania!, inspired by the Disney/Pixar animated feature “Toy Story,” will be released exclusively for the Wii™ home video game console this fall. Toy Story Mania! showcases an array of entertaining games based on the new Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort attractions, while featuring the iconic characters and humor From The popular Disney/Pixar “Toy Story” franchise.

“The ‘Toy Story’ franchise is a fun, dynamic and heart-warming series containing characters and themes that connect with every age group,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “Toy Story Mania! combines those popular elements with the unique antics of the new theme park attraction for the ultimate in family entertainment.”

In Toy Story Mania!, players experience the fast-paced, zany fun of the Toy Story Mania! theme park attraction, which is an interactive experience requiring 3D glasses and involving rapid or quick-firing shooting galleries. In addition to galleries adapted from the attraction, the game includes new and original galleries and a series of mini games, all hosted by beloved characters from the movies. The thematically-connected levels are designed for up to four players of all ages with competitive and co-operative multiplayer options. Toy Story Mania! also includes bonus 3D features, transforming the game experience with eye-popping visuals.

The Pixar-created “Toy Story” and ”Toy Story 2” have both had successful box office and DVD sales. The Disney Digital 3D™ theatrical re-release of “Toy Story” is in the works and will open in theatres on October 2, 2009, followed by the 3D re-release of “Toy Story 2” opening on February 12, 2010, leading up to the premiere of “Toy Story 3” in 3D summer 2010. Toy Story Mania! is the first video game to place characters from these films into a carnival game setting and is expected to resonate with fans of the films and the attraction, as well as gamers who like pick-up-and-play party games.

Since there are going to be "All new galleries" any chance of this leading to new and updated games in the attraction itself in the near future?

I'm not a fan of the Wii.

This might be cool though, nice promotion. It won't sell well if they charge for it though.

You know I think a free iPhone/iPod Touch Midway Mania app would be a bigger way to promote the ride, and would also be a hoot for Midway Maniacs like myself.

Finally, a home-run of an idea! Excellent way to promote the parks!

Now if only they'd get the name right.

I think the reason it is named Toy Story Mania is because it is based on the Toy Story Midway Mania ride. Maybe they have a different name as to avoid confusion. :shrug:

I do believe that Nintendo made the Wii...that would probably be why no one else makes games for them. :shrug:

Nintendo does make the Wii. However, many companies make games for them. The poster you referenced was referring to the fact that Nintendo makes Mario, Zelda, etc games. Many 3rd party companies such as Konami, EA, Activision, and other make games such for the system. Many gamers feel that most of the 3rd party games are usually cheap and rushed out, and are more "party games". This doesn't really affect the core audience for the Wii, which is everyone! But more so the hard-core gamers who look for big blockbuster games when picking a system.


Hopefully this will be a good game. Definitely sounds like a way to get some other levels developed for the game and then hopefully into the ride!

God bless the "Ignore" button.
Hmm.... potential abounds, but I can't imagine it'd be worth more than $20.
I hope they prove me wrong!
