Yes, thisFamitsuad image confirms something we’d already assumed — a certainResident Evilcharacter is pushing up the daisies.

The very idea of creating your own levels inLittleBigPlanetgets the imagination going, doesn’t it? That’s the charm of the game. But imagine how much more you could do with Disney characters as props. And I’m not talking about lame, mainstream characters like Mickey Mouse, either. Get me the obscure sh*t like Toaster fromThe Brave Little Toasterand the talking tree from the atrocity calledPocahontas, and I’ll make a crazy ass level....

Crazy talk! “We think it appeals to a really broad church,” said director Brendan McNamara, “and one of the phenomenons we’ve seen a lot when we watch people play the game is that they’ll play it, or their wife or their girlfriend will play it, and two or three people will play it together like they’re watching TV....
