The PlayStation 3 version of the game features exclusive content such as the ability to play as Emperor Zurg.
This game was developed in close collaboration with Disney Interactive Studios and Pixar to make sure the game felt like it took place in the Toy Story world.
Pixar's third video game adaptation to be rated E10+ (Everyone 10+) after The Incredibles: Wrath of the Underminer (2005) and Up (2009).
This was the last Pixar game released on the PlayStation 2.
The music that plays in Sid's Haunted House is "Grim Grinning Ghosts". This is the same song that plays in the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disney theme parks.
