** Several actors from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' reprised their roles, including those for Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, and Syndrome.

* TwoVoicesOneCharacter: Creator/CraigTNelson reprises his role as [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]], but Creator/RichardMcGonagle also recorded additional dialogue for him. The two sound so similar that it's difficult to tell which lines belong to each actor.

* [[DuelingWorks/GamesCrossGenre Dueling Works - Games Cross-Genre]]: With the other major ToysToLifeGame brands ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'', Toys/{{amiibo}}, and ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions''. This game was actually winning the battle a few months before its sudden cancellation but in the end.

** From ''Film/TheLoneRanger2013'': Creator/ArmieHammer reprised his role as the Lone Ranger.

** From ''VideoGame/MarvelHeroes'' in addition to Spider-Man[[note]]normal Spidey, anyway; symboite Spidey ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan are voiced by Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes[[/note]] and the Hulk: Creator/NolanNorth as Rocket Raccoon[[note]]albeit, a costume based on Rocket's ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' appearance; Creator/SteveBlum voiced Rocket in his default costume[[/note]].

** From ''VideoGame/LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes'' in addition to Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Loki, and Drax: Creator/NolanNorth as [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn the Green Goblin]] (albeit the ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' one).

*** Despite being based on the ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' and ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' cartoons, the Spider-Man and Avengers sets see ComicBook/NickFury voiced by Creator/SamuelLJackson, the original inspiration for the ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' version of Fury and the man who plays him in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', instead of Chi [=McBride=], who voices him on the shows.
*** However, as the inverse of the example with Jackson, despite being based on the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' movie, the ''[=GotG=]'' set features many of the voice actors who voiced the characters on ''Ultimate'' and ''Assemble'', as well as ''WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH'', as opposed to the actors who played them in the movie, including Creator/ChrisCox as Star-Lord, Creator/NikaFutterman as Gamora, Creator/DavidSobolov as Drax, Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson as Groot, James C. Mathis III as Ronan the Accuser, and Creator/JeffBennett as the Collector. The only exceptions regarding voice talent coming from the recent Marvel cartoons are Creator/NolanNorth as Rocket (and even then, it's a reprise as he voiced Movie!Rocket in ''VideoGame/MarvelHeroes''), Chris Edgerly as Yondu, and Creator/CarlosAlazraqui as Cosmo (the last of whom didn't even speak in the movie). But none of the actors from the movie reprised their roles.

* CreatorKiller: Even though the series was supposedly [[http://gamerant.com/disney-infinity-biggest-toys-to-life-game-sales/ the most successful toys-to-life franchise]], it was losing too much money for Disney, which led them to shut down Avalanche Software and the publishing unit of Disney Interactive Studios.

* ExecutiveMeddling: [[http://kotaku.com/sources-the-ambitious-now-cancelled-plans-for-disney-1776370484 An interview with Kotaku]] revealed that some figures, such as [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Yondu]], one of the toyline's most notorious shelf-warmers, and the ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' figures, were mandated by Disney, and weren't necessarily labors of love by the developers.

** Creator/SamuelLJackson voices ComicBook/NickFury, the character he portrays in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse''. To no one's surprise, there's also Creator/FredTatasciore as [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]]. Creator/AdrianPasdar reprises his role as the ''Anime/IronMan'' anime as the titular [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]].

*** A rare mid-game example with [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]]: although Creator/CraigTNelson reprises his role via [[FakeShemp recycled audio]] from the ''1.0'' edition, Creator/RichardMcGonagle took over to record additional dialogue for the Toy Box Takeover cutscenes.

*** Despite [[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame voicing the Green Goblin before]], Creator/NolanNorth is this to Creator/StevenWeber as the Green Goblin, given the Goblin North voiced before was the classic Goblin and again, the Spider-Man playset in based on the ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' cartoon.

** On a less legal and family-friendliness issue note, it seemed that Avalanche Software did not consider any SpinOff material when it came to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, hence why Baloo never received his ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' outfit,[[labelnote:*]]Though the developer was not against the idea of providing said outfit as a costume in the future had the series not been cancelled.[[/labelnote]] [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries Stitch's "cousins"]] failed to receive any mention or reference,[[labelnote:*]]Splodyhead was even removed from the red pillow on [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Fred's]] [[ShoutOut/BigHero6 bed]] in the game, but not Stitch himself on the blue pillow.[[/labelnote]] ''et cetera''.

** Before the series' cancellation, John Vignocchi had said it's unlikely that Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} will ever appear despite being part of the MCU, as [[Series/Daredevil2015 his TV show]] isn't appropriate for the game's family demographic. He also implied that characters such as ComicBook/ScarletWitch and ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} will also be unlikely to appear due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers these characters' toy and/or video game rights being controlled by other companies]] (such as Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox).

** From ''VideoGame/MarvelHeroes'' in addition to Spider-Man[[note]]normal Spidey, anyway; symboite Spidey ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan are voiced by Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes[[/note]] and the Hulk: Creator/NolanNorth as Rocket Raccoon[[note]]albeit, a costume based on Rocket's ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' appearance; Creator/SteveBlum voiced Rocket in his default costume[[/note]].

But none of the actors from the movie reprised their roles.

** On a different note, ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' seemed to get the short end of the stick in terms of representation compared to the other playable franchises. Phineas and Perry were released a full ''seven months'' after the game had released, and were not prominent in trailers or promotion compared to the others, dooming them to be some of the lowest selling characters. Ferb and Dr. Doofenshmirtz were planned to be playable (and in Ferb's case, actually shown in gameplay) but cut for unclear reasons, and poking around in Phineas' unused voice clips suggest there might have been a playset in the works that got offed as well. In addition, the series got only a minimal amount items and set pieces compared to most of the other playable franchises and the large amount fellow Disney XD show ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' got, including a racetrack in Toybox Speedway, despite having no playables.

* AllStarCast: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VpQek0eGSA&feature=youtu.be&t=5m42s Disney Infinity 3.0]]'' is chock-full of big-name live-action and voice actors. Everyone from Creator/KyleHebert to Creator/IdinaMenzel has a role in that game.

** Several actors from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' reprise their roles, including those for Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, and Syndrome.
** Creator/ArmieHammer reprises his role as the Lone Ranger from ''Film/TheLoneRanger2013''.
** In terms of Toy Box-only characters, the actors for Jack Skellington, Rapunzel, Vanellope, Anna, Elsa, Phineas, Stitch, Aladdin, Jasmine, Mulan, Olaf, Spot, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps reprise their roles.

** Several of the characters were not able to get their original actors to play them. For the most part, the replacement voice actors give very good and uncanny performances emulating the voices of the characters. However, some of them manage to sound a little off. The voice actors for [[WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity Sulley]], [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]] and [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Ralph]] are some of the biggest offenders.
