It features the ability to suit up as characters from multiple Disney franchises, including the full-length animated feature films like The Lion King, Pixar feature films like Monsters, Inc., live-action films like Pirates of the Caribbean and television series like The Muppet Show.
==Gameplay==
The game resembles Lego games or LittleBigPlanet, with a few notable additions. Up to four friends can connect through local multiplayer and play up to 6 different worlds to defeat enemies, and collect powerups and coins. One unique feature is that the enemies actively try to hinder a player's progress by setting up traps or hiding key items.
The two main attractions of the game are that players can travel to 6 worlds from classic and contemporary Disney and Pixar properties, consisting of Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, WALL-E, Monsters, Inc., and Aladdin and acquire 45 costumes based on numerous other Disney franchises, such as The Little Mermaid, TRON, Mickey Mouse, Lilo & Stitch, and Tangled.

==Trivia==
*Tron: Legacy could have been a larger part of the game aside some Characters appearing as Costumes, since TRON references appeared in the promotional art.
**There are other characters from Tron: Legacy who were intended to be playable costumes, including Kevin Flynn and Castor.
*Genie and Pluto were also supposed to appear in the game, as seen in concept art of characters and point of sale.
*The Pirates of the Caribbean level was to be inspired by movies before the fourth installment, although it wasn't specified, but it was changed into the fourth movie for promoting the film itself.
**Certain characters from previous installments, such as Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner, were intended to appear, with designs inspired by the first movie shown in concept art.
*The Alice in Wonderland was to be inspired by the 1951 version of the movie as shown in the first trailers and commercials, but it was changed to the 2010 version.
**However, some characters from the 1951 version appear as tools.
**The character of the White Rabbit had an alternate design based on his outfit when he is a servant to the Red Queen
*Tinker Bell's costume is based in her outfit from Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.
