Disney Interactive Studios Pioneers 3-D Console Experiences This Summer with G-Force and Toy Story Mania! Video Games

First Next-Generation Video Games To Fully Feature Three-Dimensional Technology
BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Three-dimensional experiences are taking over the film experience at movie
theaters in 2009 and Disney Interactive Studios is leading the way in video
games by introducing innovative stereoscopic 3-D features in two of its premier
games this summer. G-Force and Toy Story Mania! both feature revolutionary
innovative experiences using 3-D technology and are the first games for
next-generation systems to fully feature three-dimensional stereoscopic
technology.

G-Force and Toy Story Mania! allow the player to choose to turn on special 3-D
features in the games while wearing the enclosed 3-D glasses. Using the
anaglyphic 3-D glasses, players will see the action extend forward from their
television screens in a three-dimensional perspective while playing the games.
Two sets of 3-D glasses will be enclosed in each package for players to
experience visuals that seem to pop out from their television sets. The glasses
enable both players to experience 3-D during a two-player Toy Story Mania! game
or for an accompanying family member to view that perspective in G-Force. Both
standard video game 3-D graphics and the stereoscopic 3-D experiences are
offered in the games and can be changed by the player.

"Three-dimensional technology drives the future of entertainment and Disney
Interactive Studios is leading the way in video games," said Brian Leake, vice
president of technology, Disney Interactive Studios. "The stereoscopic 3-D
innovation in G-Force and Toy Story Mania! adds to the already fun video game
experiences for a wide audience and extends the gameplay by creating entirely
new options for players."

Rob Neuman, a leading expert in 3-D technology and supervisor at Walt Disney
Feature Animation, consulted on the 3-D effects in the G-Force video game with
Disney Interactive Studios and developer Eurocom. Neuman has advised on the 3-D
aspects of numerous Disney animated feature films.

"Like the 3-D effects in some feature films, the goal for adding 3-D in G-Force
enabled the two miniature creatures - guinea pig Darwin and housefly Mooch - to
appear to come forward from the screen, which creates a unique experience for
the player," said Neuman. "The dawn of three-dimensional technology in films has
taken over the Cineplex and it`s obvious that video games are the next medium to
see this trend."

G-Force, inspired by the film of the same name from Walt Disney Pictures and
Jerry Bruckheimer Films, will be available in 3-D on the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment
system on July 21.

Toy Story Mania!, exclusive for Wii, is inspired by the popular new
four-dimensional attraction in both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World
Resort. Players can experience their favorite moments from the attraction in
eye-popping 3-D from the comfort of their living rooms with family and friends.
The popular Pie Throw game from the attraction is represented in the Toy Story
Mania! training level, and five additional levels based on the attraction are
available as unlockables in the game`s story mode. Toy Story Mania! will be
available in Fall 2009.

a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of PENELOPE CRUZ), a sexy
martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch,
and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of NICOLAS CAGE), the computer and
information specialist. Along the way, the G-FORCE encounters myriad other
