Gameplay

The player's avatar changes based on the Pixar film they are playing, such as a car in Cars or a superhero in The Incredibles. The game takes place in the third-person and the levels are an action-adventure take. Most of the gameplay consists of collecting coins, getting a high score, and performing specific tasks.[5]

Reviewer Steven Hopper of IGN gave the game a rating of 6, saying that the game is "sure to give kids plenty of exercise", but "control issues make for a frustrating experience at best".[5]
