This is a game that is based on a ride that is based on a movie. One of the coolest is the Toy Story Mania (Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3).

There are a whole bunch of Pixar titles that have been transformed into games. You can also go to the Planes Fire and Rescue website and play Piston Peak Pursuit for free! While there isn’t a Planes Fire and Rescue home video game YET, your Dusty fans can still get their game on with last year’s Planes on Wii and Nintendo DS ($29.99). What’s awesome about this gaming format is that you can play in the Marvel created world or you can explore the Toy Box and really, wouldn’t you love to see Star Lord hanging out with Mr. In addition to the starter pack, they will release figures for the Guardians of the Galaxy characters along with other superheroes. Disney Infinity provides just that with the release of the Marvel Disney Infinity set (which comes with Iron Man, Thor and Black Widow). You know what the world needs? A video game that includes Star Lord, Gamora, Groot, Drax and Rocket. These Lego incarnations take the characters and situations from the films and create a whole new blocky experience that is pretty much irresistible for kids. While there is the video game based on The Lego Movie, there is also the extremely popular series of Lego games based on very non-Lego flicks, notably Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hobbit, Indiana Jones and Batman. The Lego Movie game is available on all formats. What’s amazing is that this video game is based on a movie about a building block game - basically going from tangible toy, to a big screen tale to a video game. The Lego Movie was a huge hit, and for a good reason - it was hilarious, totally engaging (for both kids and parents) and it had a whole lot of heart.

Here are a variety of family-movie based video games to keep that movie experience going for every kind of pint-sized film fan. Luke, Leia, Dusty Crophopper, Star-Lord and even Olaf are just a handful of the iconic big screen characters that can now become players in your kid’s games. This can be a great way to keep the narrative going at home and in an interactive way. They want, more than anything, to continue the story. So you see the film once, twice, three times or even more, and even after multiple viewings of this spectacular piece of cinematic magic, your kids do not want the ride to stop. Going to a great family movie is like an amusement park ride there are ups and downs and everything in between.
