Move over Skylanders — or don’t, depending on Disney’s execution here: Shamelessly inspired by Activision’s success, Disney’s getting into the crazy-lucrative toy/game biz, too, rolling out its arsenal of iconic characters in hopes of capitalizing on this fad. Will the games themselves — built around theme-worlds like Toy Story, Monsters University and Pirates of the Caribbean — be any good? That’s a question.
