The Disney Play Channel is available to 7.4m Sky Digital homes in the UK. The service will feature up to three games linked to Disney's extensive range of TV shows and films, including recent hits such as 'Lilo and Stitch' or older films such as 'The Lion King'.
Viewers can link from the Disney Channel to the interactive games by pressing the red button on their remote control. The service will be available on a pay-to-play basis following a free trial.
Disney joins the line-up of more 25 interactive games, including Speed Draughts and Connect 4, already available on Gamestar.
John Hardie, the senior vice-president and managing director at Disney Branded TV Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: "This represents another extension to our successful partnership with Sky."
Attila Gazdag, the vice-president and managing director at Walt Disney InternetGroup, Europe, added: "The UK is the world's leading interactive TV market and this is the first Disney-branded iTV game service. It is also a natural extension to our existing portfolio of interactive assets in the UK."
