Disney Infinity Retrospective 

What a shame, sadly we'll never get Disney Infinity War.

The fan base for Disney Infinity was not that of Skylanders. Disney fans are different and this would've kept strong despite the decline of Skylanders. It's like if Disney closed EPCOT because Universal was doing poorly, uhh..what were they thinking?

Love how Disney had the balls to include TRON Legacy figures! I love TRON! So it was awesome to see it being represented in the game!

i miss disney infinity.

My son and I still play Infinity from time to time. The world-building aspects are a lot of fun, and I think its terrible form for Disney to have essentially turned their back on people that made significant investments in one of their products. I wish someone else would pick up the reins, but I'm sure Disney would never release the licensing to all of the figures and storylines. Frustrating.

Disney Infinity ended way too early just as it was getting legs!

I wish Disney infinity had a fourth game. I would have loved a Sora figure.

I remember exploiting an oversight in the Wii version of 1.0 where if violet is wielding a gun while invisible, enemies won’t be able to see her and you can just attack with ease

I think they did it at a bad time. They got it good with 3.0 and had their chance to continue it.

3.0 was my favorite Disney Infinity Game. The inclusion of Star Wars was probably the biggest draw. And I should point out they didn’t make a play set for the prequels instead choosing the clone wars and that was a smart move because the prequels weren’t the best films.

Say what you will about Disney Infinity, I do not regret getting the Phineas and Perry figures.

We've only just started collecting these things this year (for the PS3, although I'm probably going to pick the games up for the Wii as well). My great-niece really enjoys picking them up off the base, switching them out for other characters, running around, and repeating the process ad nauseam. So far, my favorites from the set are Jack Skellington with Victor's Experiments (Frankenweenie) + Halloweentown Sky (Nightmare Before Christmas) + Ghost Rider's Motorcycle. Picked those up a week ago at Game X Change and nearly fell out of my chair when I placed him onto the bike to test the pieces out. His head burst into flames and I'm like, "Okay, Kenley, you're getting _all the rest of these_ when you get older, but these are right here MINE!!" She proceeded to remove jack and put Elsa on the platform. =)

Fun fact: if you put a play set piece from a previous infinity game you would get ALL of its items for free! And if you touch a magic band on the pad you get a statue of Walt and Mickey!

So sad that we never got 4.0 to ever come to fruition. Alpha footage of it was leaked not too long ago, and showed a story mode filled with interactions between Yoda, Alladin and Judy Hopps in the world of Alladin. Seemed fun. And just imagine the potential figures... new Mcu inspired figures like Thanos, Hela, Mantis, Thor with Stormbreaker, and Doctor Strange, new Star Wars figures like Old Luke, Revan and Snoke, and new Disney•Pixar characters like Simba, The Screenslaver/Underminer, Dumbo and Bo Peep to promote their upcoming films. The series was killed before it even started. May it rest in peace. R.I.P. Disney Infinity 2013-2016

I was hyped because of Disney Infinity Next, or whatever it was called back in 2016 i'm pretty sure, but then Disney Infinity died. I started in 2013 and stopped playing 2016. Rip Disney Infinity 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.

I was immediately put off from Infinity based purely on how much stuff there filling the shelves at the store. It didn't make me say 'wow, there is so much cool stuff to get' it was more like 'Why is there so much stuff you have to get?'

I think sora May have been planned for 4.0, considering how the easteregg items were Always a sort of teaser for the next version, and 3.0 had a keyblade

it's kind of weird to now see amiibo as the most relevant toys to life at the moment, I always thought they would come last being the font have dedicated games.

I liked how they made the sidekicks 3 pack and the villains 3 pack to be able to do co-op in the starter playset, instead of having to get all them individually

Disney Infinity 4.0??? Shoulda been called Disney Infinity War...

I loved all three games :(

You can buy "Disney Infinity Gold Edition" 1-3 on Steam which don't require any plastic to play, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it includes everything released for Disney Infinity.

I'd love for disney inifnity to be ported to switch but like a complete edition u just have everything digitally swap figures digitally nice and simple no bs

If you like the Cars world in this, you should try the Cars Video Game that came out with the first movie, it's...actually pretty good.

Let's face it. As fun & unique as the Toys to Life concept was when it started all the way back in 2011 with Skylanders, I think it was the right move to kill it off when they all did. I mean it took the world by storm at first, but after a few years, it just got repetative & predictable. I mean sure, I am going to miss Skylanders, Disney Infinity & Lego Dimensions, but it is probably good that we are finally saying good bye to this 7 year long era. As much as I want to see a Skylanders 7, 8, 9, & 10. We have to let things go. I mean look at Toys R Us. That was the best store to buy toys, but sadly, because of newer technology & just the click of a button with Amazon Prime, Toys R Us had to go. It sucks that we are now living in an era where DVDs are becoming the new VHS tapes, new game concepts only last about 7 years, Star Wars isn't (cough) as popular as it used to be because of SJWs & the Critically Acclaimed The Last Jedi recieving bad reviews from Audiences (cough) it pained me to say that because I'm always going to remain loyal to Star Wars no matter who's in charge & who owns it.

Disney infinity is a fantastic series, I love how this video highlights the evolution into the great game it was. It would've been awesome to see where it could've gone with 4.0 and beyond.

Mildly unrelated but my dad bought the Yoda figure for 3.0 without even knowing it was for a video game

Honestly looking back makes me miss it, I can’t believe it was 5 years ago. I only had 1.0 too and I was so mesmerized by this game, I even learned little cheats when buying the packs for the discs cuz you can hear the hologram through the wrapper lol but this is just a blast of memories

man, i loved infinity. i loved playing the lone ranger with my brother, and exploring around town, riding horses, and playing with the trains. i remember the little camp, and it was so fun to play, and it was so unique. shortly after it was discontinued, my dad donated everything. i really miss infinity, and even at a point you could make your own house. of course i was always a skylanders and toy story 3 person too lmfao

if they made disney infinity 4 and added the ability to play older playsets aswell as the new ones, it would be amazing

As soon as we were about to get gravity falls figures ;-;

I used to play this game religiously. I still to this day torture my friends with my custom made Kaizo levels with special rules like: No weapons, items and transports unless provided in the level and ONE checkpoint ONLY that is located right at the beginning. Their reactions to trick jumps and hair pulling death traps are priceless.

I think the problem is that 2.0 is the awkward puberty of the series, and it was right when they could have gotten new players. 1.0 was simple and fun and similar to a lot of LEGO style collectathons, but with a complex and intuitive creation tool. 2.0 had a bigger emphasis on combat, and that was expanded upon, but the combat was still really repetitive and uninvolving. It’s also bad that the only one of the playsets they released for 2.0 that had interesting and involving combat, mission design, and really solid level design for platforming was the Guardians of the Galaxy one (which was done by the people who did the Pirates play set). For 3.0, they got Ninja Theory (DmC, Heavenly Sword) to reinvent the combat and they made it this combo focused and incredibly fun and satisfying DmC-lite melee attack system with all the force powers and newer Marvel characters, and all three of the Star Wars playsets play like polished PS2 action platformers, like Ratchet and Clank, or even (once again) the platforming focused DmC. It was so good. And with a few more additions, like the Doctor Strange and Spider-Gwen figures and the Rogue One and Moana playsets, it could have ended with a bang instead of a whimper. C’mon Disney. AT LEAST release them as figurines. The Spider-Gwen one looked SO GOOD.

Was this game developed by the guys that made the Toy Story 3 game?

Let’s just say you have a lot of characters in whom you could’ve put in for Disney Infinity but sadly didn’t.

I had a dream disney infinity was back, but it had tf2, jojo and a lot of other franchises in it as well... that’d be such a great reality.

toys to life isnt really that, its more figurines to life or statues, not really toys, lego dimensions was the only one to really be toys because even after finishing the game and the game being over, you could still play with the toys as lego, add parts, give select tools and weapons to a character that would never use them normally, skylanders and infinity didn't have that aspect really, if the figures were partly pose able then it may have helped because then they would have been toys that could be played with outside of the game, granted, this is only an opinion and should be seen as such, also, distribution is a factor to consider, some places get the game, others down, my local tescos didnt have ether infinity or skylanders for a month or so even though other places already had them

My friend was on the team behind the Star Wars playset. We're very pleased to hear the positive reception :)

I remember me and my best friend always got together to play 3.0 edition, we built battle arenas, race tracks, giant obstacle courses. We still miss Disney Infinity to this day.

I have a problem with Disney Infinity. The game was advertised with crossover play between characters. However, the only way to have the characters crossover is in the toy box mode or a very limited amount of the play sets and NEVER in the playsets that serve as the game's story modes. The only way to have Elsa fight Darth Maul or General Grievous is in the Toy Box mode. The Crossover tokens that are found in the Story Mode playsets like Twilight of the Republic or The Force Awakens only unlock the ability to use Star Wars characters that weren't the main playable protagonists for that playset. An example would be for the Twilight of the Republic playset, the crossover tokens unlock Darth Maul and every Star Wars character not featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Skylanders didn't lock characters out of story levels. You can play as Kaos even though it didn't make sense. The only characters that worked similarly were Turbo Charge DK and Hammer Slam Bowser not letting players use them on Playstation or Xbox versions of Skylanders Superchargers and Imaginators due to being Nintendo characters that were promoting the Nintendo versions of Superchargers. Since the Crossover tokens unlock characters from the same property, they shouldn't be called CROSSOVER tokens at all!

The thor and iron man flying problem was so easy to solve that im surprised they didnt think about it. Make thor's hammer drag him in arcs like, he throws himself and iron man could have a energy limit to flying. Done, both fit into the themes of the characters and solved the "flying problem"

I wish they had a Indiana Jones level. It would have been so cool to go adventuring through temples with Indy and others like Marion Short Round and Indy's Dad.

I'm so mad this got cancelled. I ADORE THIS GAME!!!!!! And 4.0 seemed to be the grand finale we never got. I hope in the future we'll get to see that 4.0

Who still plays Disney infinity

I always loved making the interior, designing different rooms and areas, I had a whole top floor for marvel, a side place for TV show stuff. Oh boy did I love the marvel stuff, with all the comic references and stuff, my nerdy heart loved it.

Disney infinity was fun And now I wait until someone wants to buy my woody figure for a stupidly high price

Duuuude my dad and I played this game! We had a city with an awesome Paintball arena, a sick mansion complete with a secret hallway for guest rooms, and a giant island we kept expanding! I loved the Disney Infinity franchise! Also, the part about the Violet figure was so true lol, her and Elastagirl's figures broke all the time.

They called it and quit because they knew it was gonna die

Kohdok, my dude you got major kudos from me for the music choices. Big O, Inferno Cop... shine on my dude

I was in 3rd grade when the first one came out and I thought it was awesome and I think it had a cool concept but I hate how they made the characters cost a lot (I can't remember how much they costed). I remember I would ask my parents for a character and they said "save up your money" but I was a little kid so I spent my money on candy or whatever. The only character I got was Mater. And I begged my parents to buy me the newer one but then I saw the new Guitar Hero and decided I wanted that instead.

i still play and buy things for this game this is my favourite game of all time and the nostalgia will never disappear still sad to this day it was discontinued but still love the game to pieces

I hear that Stardust Crusaders music in the background, sir. Subbed instantly

I love your retrospectives.

Remember when just a starter set would cost over $100 and now you can get all three games with all the content on Steam for $80?

I remember enjoying Disney infinity when it first came out. It was pretty enjoyable. Had fun playing with sibling and friends. Never got too much into building though. Loved playing the player built levels though.Never played 2 and 3 though.

I wish they continued it we might have gotten kh characters

Disney infinity for the Wii was my favourite game on earth around 4 years ago. I wish it was on the switch, however that would work.

i loved this game when i was younger. its pretty cool to see someone talk about it

I think the thing that drew me to Disney Infinity the most was it's Toy Box feature, so it hit hard when the online service died. I loved exploring other people's creations, and I had plans to make and share a truly immersive world based on my favorite Disney Property, Tron!

I feel like the Pirates of the Caribbean playset is what Sea of Thieves originally wanted to be.

I think Disney infinity 4 WAS gonna revolve around Disney XD such as (maybe) Lab Rats (I say maybe because lab rats is a live action show, and I don’t think they will be able to put it in a game), Star Vs The Forces Of Evil, Gravity Falls, etc, which if they continued it and I knew that, I would have instantly got it

I remember playing this at a cousin's house and just messing around on sanbox mode. I also remeber crashing it.

That franky background theme thooo

Gosh I remember the DI Star Wars games were a lot better than most previous Star Wars games I played growing up. It’s kind of interesting that Disney had foresight on the end of Toys to Life games, my personal annoyance is that the Hera figure never made it past planning stages and recordings of her voice actress.

For me being a kid at that time. The main reason I didn't get very many infinity stuff was because once I got the first one the second one came out of the blue a little less than a year later and because it was expensive at the time even I didn't think it was worth it. Each game should have had about 2 or 3 years in between them, and even letting you play old play sets in the new games

Fun Fact: there was a special version of Disney Infinity 2.0 which contained the Avengers Playset, every Avengers character except Falcon and Loki and a special Frost Giant Base. 3.0 got a similar one but it was just a bundle of the Twilight of the Republic and Rise against the Empire playsets with a limited time exclusive Boba Fett Figure.

I miss this game sooooooo much still buying and collecting figures (anyone got a baymax they dont need) the thinking was that in the playsets the characters would interact as they would within their franchise hence the franchise lock the toy box was where a "child could pick up their toys and race dory vs Darth Vader in a sugar rush candy car and have olaf dance with Darth maul" (sorry for essentially the same analagy it's just funny to envision Sith doing these fun things)

There might've been some consumer burnout in terms of toy-to-life (which I blame mostly on Nintendo refusing to make enough amiibo's to meet demand), but to say that there wasn't any more potential, when they have access to THOUSANDS of characters and IP's at their disposal? I call BS on that.

Killing it with the background music Ok just the JoJo one

I loved Disney Infinity.

Love the Jojo music in the background

I wonder if they made a fourth year thing what would it be? Would be the Muppets or something else

I couldnt pay attention because that goddamn jojo ost 😍😍

Nice! I like Retrospectives.

I had a lot of those. Nick Fury, Iron Man, Thor, Donald Duck, Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey (Clear one), Tinker Bell (i know), Luke, Vader, The Tron Dude, Buzz (Clear one), And others I wasn’t able to mention, Have fun in the shelf.

I'm still mad they never released Hera. We have the main rebel crew, except Hera. And she's the best character, to me anyways.

Thanks for doing this :) Sometimes when I look at my collection that I also mostly collected just at the tail end of the fallout and after, I wonder about it. It felt as though part of it was still confusing. Why DID the 2nd best selling toys to life company *Disney* Jump out so suddenly? What happened? And you just put it the best way for me to understand. Bad management. They had several game developing companies to pay and not enough money to do it. Okay, I'm not good at quoting but your explanation was solid and thank you so much. I still wish they could've planned an ending around 4.0 because it seems as though that would've been the gameplay that could probably continue to be the most entertaining. Like "Hey friend of mine! You feel like stopping the clone wars with Jack Skellington and Rapunzel? Because pumpkins and frying pans!"

I'm watching this because I have Alot of nostalgia of Disney Infinity on the wii and just getting on Christmas and then playing it with my brother and I just being afraid of the guy with the mushroom hat which I called mushroom sword guy

I still play this game it's still fun to experiment with the toy box and everything it's also cool to see all these Disney characters put into a game the figures are pretty cool to cause you get to play as your favourite Disney characters in this open world and creative game and with the figures you get a cool little display with them I like the Nick Wilde figure and Perry the platypus

Got disney infinity collection on pc and everything comes unlocked and it's digital. Best collection ever. Recommend it. Disney infinity lives on

Who remembers the Toy Story 3 game Toybox? That was the stuff

14:28 just realised that Stardust Man Appears plays in the background

I appreciate you giving a retrospective on the series. I started out with 3.0 mainly due to the Inside Out set as said movie is my all-time fave Pixar Movie and I wanted all 5 Emotions. I've since gotten 2.0 on PS4 and downloaded 1.0 on Wii U for when it was free (I also have a Crystal Sorcerer Mickey Figure and a Crystal Lightning McQueen Figure). Also in your opinion (if you have them). What do you think of the Toy Box Speedway and Toy Box Takeover Modes?

Played both swap force and 1.0 on the Wii. Must say, they were entirely different and infinity was the better game.

I loved the incredibles but one of its major flaws was that everyone was able to get their “special attack” after you got the dojo. I also loved cars and toy story, and I have so many vivid memories to revisit. Disney infinity 4.0 would’ve been so fun to see, some sort of crossover where no one character from one universe would make a difference, relying on the older characters to have unique buffs and the newer characters to have fun movement options.

I think that they should released the rest of the stuff for 3.0 but not release 4.0

Disney infinity was an experience entirely of its own and boy was it amazing

I remember finding out about Disney infinity 3.0 in 2015 and I wanted it so badly and finding out it had star wars I new i had to get it and I remember working really hard the summer of 2015 and getting the game but I was so disappointed when they canceled it 2016.

What was the emotional music used at the end of the video? I liked it.

Road to Infinity is one of my favourite tunes from video games.

There is so much more they could have done. Steamboat willie, Forky, D-O, Flik, Goofy, Pluto, Doctor strange, captain marvel, and THANOS

LMAO! when you said 4 hours i was thinking about angry Joe. when he popped up I lost it

Disney infinity is one of the best sandbox games I loved playing it with my sister and I still have the jack skeleton figure

I still have all of my Disney Infinity characters! I would always ask for them in my Christmas list, good times

I got this game when it came out and still have 20 out of 29 characters to this day. Wreck-It Ralph was my favorite so I first played as him when I started the game, and for whatever reason he’s level 195 when the max is 15 and he still is

Oh the nostalgia I remember playing this with my cousin and making a cool terrain and making a story Esc

Pirates of the caribbean set is like AC Black Flag for kids :D

Poor United Front. That's the real tragedy after all this happened. I loved these games, but when United Front went down the drain, they took all those games I loved and the possible ones in the future with them. Edit: Good News, though. I just got 2.0 new for 99 cents today at my Gamestop, so come get your dirt cheap Disney Infinity figures and discs today!

I'm planning in getting the ps vita version but I need to know if its possible to access the toy story world on it, does someone know?

Still got all my figures, collected every single Star Wars figure. Gonna see if I can find my power plate to see how the game holds up
