While speaking at a conference in New York City, THQ CEO Brian Farrell stated that THQ doesn’t have the rights to develop a videogame based on Toy Story 3, scheduled for theatrical release in 2010.
THQ’s current licensing deal gives them the rights to develop games based upon four Pixar films. Ratatouille, released this year, was the first film covered under the current agreement. Wall-E, coming to theaters in 2008, will be the second. The deal will also cover 2009’s UP and the unannounced, most likely John Carter of Mars, in 2011.
Disney has decided to develop the videogames internally. Smart move considering how big of a cash cow the Toy Story franchise is.
