Worlds are colliding.

A new trailer for Disney's monstrous undertaking, Disney Infinity, shows off its Toy Box mode wherein players can mix and match characters and assets from separate universes.

Much like LittleBigPlanet 2, players can create their own games with what appears to be an extraordinarily robust toolkit. Examples given show variations off football, pinball, racing and baseball.

Players will only start out with access to the Pirates of the Caribbean, Monsters, Inc., and The Incredibles universes along with their protagonists: Captain Jack Sparrow, Sulley, and Mr. Incredible. These come as actual Skylanders-esque figurines and players will need to purchase more of them to access further content.

The Disney Infinity Starter Pack will cost £64.99 on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U and £54.99 on 3DS and Wii. It's slated for release on 20th August.
