When the developers of Toy Story 3: The Video Gamefirst approached Pixar aboutan adaptation, they prepared two very different pitches. One was obvious: String together some levels that more or less resemble somescenes inthe movie, like every other licensed game in history.
Or... defy expectations and give fans what they really want: The chance to play with these beloved and iconic characters on their own terms. With their own rules. With their own imaginations. Thus, Toy Box - an open-world sandbox filled with whimsical Pixar creations instead of murderous Eastern European hitmen - was born.
