    Quoted from iceman44:

    Ughhh. Don't think so Kong. Not enough Dads that sat through those movies with their kids like i did and fell asleep after dropping a bag of popcorn.
    Just like TMNT which has come and gone and is NOT huge, so will Toy Story, like Wonka, yet worse.
    Harry Potter isn't a cartoon and with the magic theme has MUCH more possibilities.
    We grabbed a bag of popcorn and stayed awake on those movies.
    Toy Story is going to BOMB imo, partly because JJP is now in BOM control mode.

    I totally agree except I did enjoy all the Toy Story movies. Any pin "done right" will be awesome but that's the trick. How are you going to get all the top voice talents in Toy Story? Answer is you won't. Most of what made the films great was the characters, friendship, and the story of growing up. I don't see that translating to fast and exciting pinball gameplay. Hardly see everyone running out buying expensive CE's for this one.

    Pokemon would be a disaster imo. Sure it has name recognition and popularity but that does not translate to selling pinball machines. Bottom line I would be embarrassed to play one let alone have a Pokemon pinball machine in my home.

    Harry Potter is at least a little more mature. I have no interest but at least it has a wide cast of characters, magic, and lots of adventure. I don't see how you could secure all the voice talents and I think it would suffer from having too much material to work with. Hard not to be just some generic magic pin where you go to school, collect characters, learn some spells, and fight villains. Fans will be disappointed because bar will be set way too high.
