Every summer, a slew of CGI animated movies hit the big screen, hoping to capitalize on children’s dreams of adventure and parent’s wallets across the nation. It has become routine that a video game of every CGI animated is to be made, for every system known to man. This summer, Toy Story 3, the end of the series that made CGI animated films a mainstay in the world of films, was released to overwhelming positive reviews.

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
With Toy Story debuting in the Kingdom Hearts universe, WWG looks back at the ups and downs from Woody and Buzz's previous video game adventures.
1 and 2 on PS1 were amazing, I remember being amazed by the graphics, they really nailed the level design and scale of the toys compared to the rooms.
I remember playing Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, when I stayed home from school because I was sick.
It's really fun, great game
