Disney Teases ‘Disney Infinity’ (Code Name Toy Box), Its Game-Changing Game

Disney InfinityIn a recent New York Times article on Disney Interactive, Robert Iger teased an upcoming ‘ambitious’ project known internally as ‘Toy Box,’ but our readers probably know it better by its commercial title, Disney Infinity. Although we’ve known about Disney Infinity for quite some time, there really hasn’t been much information available for us to share, so we could only do as much as to mention it briefly last month when responding to rumors about ‘Kingdom Hearts 1.5.’ (Note that in our article, we incorrectly identified the project name as sandbox when it should read ‘Toy Box’).

Although we already knew ‘Disney Infinity’ was a large, ambitious project which we believe to use NFC/RFID collectible physical items that will interact with the console apps, Iger explains it is much larger than that. According execs at Disney Interactive, Disney Infinity will be a console game (as we already shared) that will feature Disney/Pixar and classic Disney characters to interact in environments which extend to several mobile and online applications, probably lending the ‘infinite possibilities’ to the game’s title.

As a sidebar, we have seen a dramatic increase in incoming searches from Disney employees looking for any information online regarding Disney Infinity since the New York Times article, which does not yet mention the project by its proper name.

WATCH: ‘Iron Man 3′ Trailer

'Iron Man 3' Teaser PosterAfter much anticipation, Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios have released the first official trailer for Iron Man 3 (May 3, 2013), which  you can watch below.

Marvel’s Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

(Note embed comes from Marvel UK so the date reflects an April 2013 release instead of the domestic May 3, 2013 release)

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce and Shane Black and is based on Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968.

‘Sofia the First’ Merchandise Now Available from Disney Store

'Sofia the First' merchandise from Disney StoreWith nearly a month to go before the movie premiere of ‘Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess’ on November 18, leading into a full fledged series to begin in spring, Disney Store has begun making some merchandise available online.

Enrolled at Royal Prep (with headmistresses Flora, Fauna and Merryweather), Sofia must learn what it takes to become a princess, all the while dealing with the jealousy of step-sister Amber, the evil-doings of the sorcerer Cedric (and his pet raven Wormwood) and keeping the secret that she can talk with animals thanks to the Amulet of Avalor presented to her by the King. Inside the castle, Sofia’s best friend is a rabbit named Clover (voiced by Wayne Brady) while her best friends she moved away from are Ruby and Jade. Also appearing on the series is Baileywick, the royal steward (voiced by Tim Gunn) as well as occasional surprise visits from classic Disney princesses such as Cinderella.
