History WhatCouldHaveBeen / DisneyInfinity

* Allegedly, Creator/{{Ubisoft}} had plans to acquire Avalanche after the games' cancellation and continue the franchise (and we could've gotten some GuestFighter content from their properties such as ''VideoGame/FarCry'' and ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'', although the contents from these franchises would have to be more LighterAndSofter than their counterparts if they've showed up), but were unable to throw their hat in the ring in time before Avalanche was acquired by Warner Bros. Interactive Studios.

* The designs for the action figures in the [[SpiritualSuccessor Disney Toybox]] toy line are directly inspired by ''Infinity'', including those of many characters who were never playable in the game and specific movies like ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', ''Film/BlackPanther'' and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. As former lead developer John Vignocchi confirmed that the designs of the action-figures were directly based on the Infinity figures, it's highly likely that the designs (or costumes in the cases of many of the Marvel figures, such as a more directly Creator/ChrisHemsworth-inspired [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]] and a blonde, ''Infinity War''-influenced Comicbook/BlackWidow) were based on figure designs influenced by these four films for ''4.0'' (or possibly ''5.0'') that never got made.
* As a tie-in to ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CUGzMCT4Ao Thanos]] was going to have a figure. The linked video shows concept art of this.

* [[http://kotaku.com/sources-the-ambitious-now-cancelled-plans-for-disney-1776370484 An interview with Kotaku]] reveals that a playset based on ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' would have been included in 3.0, and also revealed several plans for the now-cancelled 4.0 including a story mode that would have crossed Disney, Marvel and Star Wars together, as well as playsets for ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'', ''Film/TheLastJedi'', ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'', ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', and ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', presumably meaning characters like Mantis, Valkyrie and the older Luke Skywalker would have been playable. Additionally, there would have been special edition figures of some of the game's most popular characters; the figures reportedly would've been 12 inches tall, lit up, could be fought as super-sized "raid" bosses, and played differently in-game.

* ''VideoGame/DisneyInfinity'', a game with a wide amount of content as it is, has lots of cut characters and content:
** ''Disney Infinity 1.0'':
*** [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Ferb and Dr. Doofenschmirtz]]. Both have models in the game's files. Ferb is an interesting case he was seen in some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oOVhGYIlPI gameplay videos pre-release]] where he was clearly playable. However, he was cut as there was only enough room for two ''Phineas and Ferb'' characters, and Perry the Platypus/Agent P was chosen over him. In Doof's case, it's not known whether or not he was intended to be a playable character or an [=NPC=]. It's rumored that he was to be a boss in an unmade ''Phineas and Ferb'' Play Set. Both of them (along with Candace) are still highly requested.
*** [[WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}} Victor Frankenstien]]. Victor appears in promotional art, and was reported to be receiving a Play Set. The movie's unpopularity with audiences put the kibosh on any of those plans.
*** Figment from the ''Journey To Imagination'' ride at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks EPCOT]]. Scrapped as the developers felt he was too niche of a character.
*** [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit, Mrs. Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, and Beaker]]. All these Muppet characters have concept art of them as figures. Unfortunately, nothing has come out of this thus far.
** ''Disney Infinity 2.0'':
*** The Star Wars characters were originally considered to be included in this version, but (likely due to the large amount of characters and content planned) they were saved for the next version.
*** WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck nearly made it into both this version and ''3.0''. He's a widely requested character because of this.
*** Stitch was to get a Costume Disc that put him in the Elvis outfit he wore in [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch his home movie]]. However, the Elvis Presley estate asked for too much money to implement this.
** ''Disney Infinity 3.0'':
*** [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Bing Bong]] was reportedly in development as a playable character according to a tweet by lead developer John Vignocchi, but was apparently cut later in development.
*** ''Star Wars: Film/RogueOne'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' were to get Play Sets, but currently have failed to see retail release after the series was cancelled. While it's currently not known how far the ''Rogue One'' Play Set got into production, the ''Moana'' Play Set was far enough into development to have [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/biz6ao7t8mp5eiub3bfv.jpg in-game]] [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bfhfgh8401irylkot4hm.jpg screen]] [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/etdjg8feosjmm9kpmnfd.jpg shots]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Moana-PlaySet.png packaging and a Play Set Piece]], and even [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Moana-Disney-Infinity.png physical Moana and Maui figures]]. It also appears that water mechanics would have been added to the game with the Play Set's release, if the screencap depicting the water moving away from Moana as she walks around is any indication. Maui would have been able to grab and move entire blocks and set pieces with his hook.
*** Twelve inch tall figures of some of the series's most popular characters (which would have behaved differently in the game) were in the works, and due to be released by fall 2016. Again, this didn't happen due to the series's cancellation. The characters known to have gotten this treatment do have final figure designs, however, and include [[http://disneology.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/hulk_premium_f2c_10_26_15.jpg the Hulk]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Premium-Disney-Infinity-Figure-Jack.png Jack Skellington]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Hulkbuster-Premium-Single-1.png Hulkbuster]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Darth-Vader-Disney-Infinity-Premium-e1468408955873.png Darth Vader]], and [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Elsa-Premium-Disney-Infinity.png Elsa]]. (Premium Elsa's design (and possibly her move-set as well) appears to be based on "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever".) Buzz Lightyear is another character who is known to have gotten a premium figure, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmVHZV-fVAA which can be seen here]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e61OWZIy1GY A video depicting Hulk, Vader, Hulkbuster, and Jack]] has been released, and it's definitely clear that Jack's move-set would have been significantly upgraded from that of his ''1.0'' figure. Yoda and [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Lightning McQueen]] were also reportedly getting premium figures as well, but only the design of the [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Lightning-McQueen-Disney-Infinity-Premium.png Lightning McQueen Premium figure]] is known to exist.
** The cancelled ''Disney Infinity 4.0'':
*** Information about the scrapped installment was leaked by alleged Avalanche Software employees days after Disney shut down the series. According to the leaks, it would have featured characters and content from places such as ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'', ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'', ''Film/TheLastJedi'', ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', presumably meaning characters like Valkyrie and Mantis would have been playable.
*** A catch-all Play Set or Story Mode in the Toy Box would have been featured that would have enabled use of all characters without restriction, meaning that the oft-requested ability to have [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]] and [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Perry the Platypus]] fight Stormtroopers on Alderaan or having [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody]], and Captain America sail a pirate ship after [[Film/TheForceAwakens Kylo Ren]] on the Caribbean Sea would have finally been possible. Test footage from a cinematic that likely would have been part of this mode can be found [[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/07/14/moana-gameplay-minifigures-jiminy-cricket-npc-disney-infinity-previews/ here]].
*** Disney Interactive would have enlisted the help of Creator/{{Hasbro}} to help out with the figures, expanding on the toy company's success with the newly-acquired Disney Princess license.
*** [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Disney-Infinity-Jimity-Cricket.png Jiminy Cricket]] would have been an NPC as both a new guide character and in a brand new opening sequence reminiscent of StorybookOpening sequences in classic Disney movies. [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Disney-Infinity-Book.png Concept art of the book in question]].
*** [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle and the Beast]] were planned to get figures to tie into the 2017 live-action remake of the 1992 movie, according to [[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/07/15/exclusivepodcast-information-releases-planned-disney-infinity/ this podcast]]. However, they were to be based on their remake designs rather than their 1992 animated designs. The same podcast also reveals some details about the new ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' and ''Cars'' Play Sets that would have come to ''4.0''. Capt. Jack would have received a revamped figure (along with figures of two unknown ''Pirates'' characters), and possibly Lightning [=McQueen=] would have gotten one as well. (As well as figures based on new characters from ''Cars 3''.

WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}, [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Sally]], WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}, and [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Aurora/Briar Rose]]. It also shows [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle and the Beast in their depictions from the animated movie as opposed to the live-action movie.]]

* [[UnexpectedCharacter Oddly]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFPsGH0WWak concept art for 3.0/4.0]] shows that Jake Sully and Neytiri from ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' were apparently considered for inclusion in ''Infinity'', presumably to tie-in with the ''Ride/PandoraTheWorldOfAvatar'' area opening at Disney's Animal Kingdom; despite the fact that the characters are owned by Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox.

** On the toy end of things, the article mentions that Disney considered partnering with Creator/{{Hasbro}} to help produce figures. In addition to alleviating the toy production troubles that ultimately killed the franchise, one has to wonder about the possibility of having [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], [[Franchise/GIJoe Duke]], or even [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]] in the same game as Captain America, Luke Skywalker, and Mickey Mouse. Although apparently neither party had planned that far yet.

* Allegedly, Creator/{{Ubisoft}} had plans to acquire Avalanche after the games' cancellation and continue the franchise, but were unable to throw their hat in the ring in time before Avalanche was acquired by Warner Bros Interactive Studios.

* The intro to ''4.0'' would've had Jiminy Cricket float down to a storybook just like in ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'', then have him guide the player through the tutorial. By the time the franchise was shelved, there was only test footage of Jiminy's animation model based off of audio from ''Pinocchio''.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moana_disney_infinity.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The scrapped ''Disney/{{Moana}}'' Play Set.]]

* Concept art shows that Elsa was originally supposed to appear in her original short-haired, villainous role. When ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' was retooled they had to redo her.

* [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Stitch]] was going to get an alternate costume based on his Music/ElvisPresley outfit he wore in his original film, but the Presley estate demanded too much money for such a minor thing.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJsKWmIFis According to Mathew Solie]], between the development of 1.0 and 2.0, ''Film/Cinderella2015'' was released and people involved with the film asked if Disney/{{Cinderella}} could receive a figure for ''Infinity''. Unfortunately, the developers could not find a move-set for Cinderella that made sense and had to shelf the idea. It's not known whether Cinderella's design would have been based on the 1950 animated film or the 2015 live-action remake.

* [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]] has been seen in concept art. He would've been saved for after 3.0, as they needed to figure out how they were going to make quadruple characters capable of as many actions as the other playable characters (likely especially after the ''Cars'' characters were looked down on for this reason.)
* [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Aurora]] was also in concept art, though presumably the reason why she didn't get a figure is because she wasn't combat-capable either.
* [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney-infinity/images/6/60/Concept.png/revision/latest?cb=20150509160049 This image of concept art]] shows [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Flynn/Eugene]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}} Remy]], [[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Pongo]].

It also shows [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle and the Beast in their depictions from the animated movie as opposed to the live-action movie.]]

* With the news that the series was closing, the teased Disney Animation and ''Star Wars'' play sets (later revealed to be based on ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Disney/{{Moana}}'', as mentioned below) will no longer happen, and Peter Pan's figure, which was so far in development that hundreds of figures were actually produced and [[https://youtu.be/zBCeUALQaO4 later showed up online]] for dirt cheap, can't be used in-game without a new patch.
** Peter Pan was so close to completion, in fact, that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP1mLsQn1Yo footage of him in-game]], with animations and combat moves all set, exists. Blayne Weaver (Peter Pan's current voice actor, who voiced Pan in ''Disney/ReturnToNeverland'' and other works featuring Pan) [[RoleReprise was set to reprise his role]] as Pan if the game's IMDB page is to be believed.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFvRiuYjnkU&feature=youtu.be It had also been revealed]] that a figure for Film/DoctorStrange2016 was in the works.
* [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BFrskn5vLH4/ was apparently in the works as well]].

* [[http://kotaku.com/sources-the-ambitious-now-cancelled-plans-for-disney-1776370484 An interview with Kotaku]] reveals that a playset based on ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Disney/{{Moana}}'' would have been included in 3.0, and also revealed several plans for the now-cancelled 4.0 including a story mode that would have crossed Disney, Marvel and Star Wars together, as well as playsets for ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'', ''Film/TheLastJedi'', ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'', ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', and ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', presumably meaning characters like Mantis, Valkyrie and the older Luke Skywalker would have been playable.

** [[http://disneology.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/hulk_premium_f2c_10_26_15.jpg This]] is what the "Premium" hulk would have looked like. Other planned figures included Buzz, Elsa, the Hulkbuster, Jack Skellington, and Darth Vader. [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Hulkbuster-Premium-Single-1.png Hulkbuster]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Premium-Disney-Infinity-Figure-Jack.png Jack]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Elsa-Premium-Disney-Infinity.png Elsa]], [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Darth-Vader-Disney-Infinity-Premium-e1468408955873.png Darth Vader]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmVHZV-fVAA and Buzz]] are known to have figure designs, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e61OWZIy1GY in-game footage of the Hulk, Hulkbuster, Vader, and Jack in action]] has been released. [[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/07/15/exclusivepodcast-information-releases-planned-disney-infinity/ A Premium figure of Yoda was also reportedly in development]], but it appears to have been scrapped before a final figure design could be revealed. There was also a Premium [[http://infinityinquirer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Lightning-McQueen-Disney-Infinity-Premium.png Lightning McQueen]] figure in development, though according to various sources it had already been scrapped before the game's cancellation. After a prototype of the Darth Vader premium figure was discovered and posted on Twitter, John Vignocchi revealed that [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ursula]] had also been planned to have a Premium figure and implied that prototypes of her figure had been made as well.

** [[http://infinityinquirer.com/2016/07/15/exclusivepodcast-information-releases-planned-disney-infinity/ Figures based on]] ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'' were in the works. The figures would have been based on said live-action remake rather than the [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast 1991 animated movie]]. (The designs have been released and can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK0HlLi_6Z4 here]].) The same podcast where this was revealed also revealed that Jack Sparrow would have gotten a revamped figure to tie in with ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'' along with two new POTC characters, as well as some new ''Cars'' figures to coincide with ''WesternAnimation/Cars3''.

* In 5.0, there would have been levels and figures based on old Disney cartoons, such as "Steamboat Willie".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYcmwGH8D8Q This video]] shows that [[Film/TronLegacy Clu]] may at one point have been planned to be a playable character, and it turns out that he was actually planned to be a playable character as far back as 2.0, where he would have been included alongside Sam Flynn and Quorra. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJsKWmIFis An interview with Matthew Solie, the former producer at Disney Interactive]], post-cancellation reveals that Clu wound up being scrapped as a playable character after the fanbase [[InternetBackdraft raised a stink over Sam and Quorra being PC-exclusive in 2.0]], and any further work on the ''Tron'' characters was simply forgotten outside of giving Sam and Quorra physical figures for 3.0.

* The designs for the Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther, Black Widow and Star-Lord action figures in the SpiritualSuccessor Toybox action-figure line seem heavily inspired by their respective appearances in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' (for Iron Man and Spider-Man), ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' (for Thor), ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' (for Black Panther) and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' (for Black Widow and Star-Lord). As former lead developer John Vignocchi confirmed that the designs of the action-figures were directly based on the Infinity figures, it's plausible that the costumes for these six were based on figure designs influenced by these four films for ''4.0'' (or possibly ''5.0'') that never got made.

* WordOfGod is WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck was "this close" to being playable in ''2.0''. His [[CoolBike Ratcatcher]] and Gas Gun are power discs, though. The developers attempted to make him playable again in ''3.0'', but on a fan-voted poll for who should be playable, he lost to Olaf.

* [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]] has been seen in concept art.

* [[https://youtu.be/Y5RE8tcGfMY Concept art exists]] for Oz and the Wicked Witch as a planned tie-in to ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful''. It is unknown why they were cut, although it is theorized that it is because Warner Bros. planned to add ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' to ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'' instead.
