Y multiplataforma (aunque sus adaptaciones vayan con todo y el destroce de la historia original. ¿O eso ya los vuelve transmedia?)

Chris Kohler: "If you're at all familiar with the success of Skylanders, you won't be too surprised by Disney's latest gaming initiative."
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
It's called Infinity and, if Skylanders is anything to go by, we're going to be hearing a lot about it in the next few months. Must say, I don't mind ... it looks pretty cool. It combines characters from multiple Disney storyworlds into a single game with the potential to mix and match them in levels of your own creation. John Lasseter has described it as “a tool chest for creativity".
