Clearly the best solution is to turn Kingdom Hearts into a stage musical: Musicals can have longer runtimes than theatrical films Many of the worlds visited are already based on musical movies People understand the limits of stage props, so the lack of anime designs will be easier to forgive...

If what you're trying to say is that the original material is what should be focused on Destiny Islands through Traverse Town is still a pretty poor choice. Because the only Ansem that sequence contains is the potato sack one. Sure, you could move finding his reports forward into the story...

Have you heard of the Netflix show Jupiter's Legacy? It's an adaptation of a comic book. Or rather, it's an adaptation of the first three issues of a comic book. Netflix wanted it to be their big mature superhero show, but at the time it was being produced it only had ten issues in the main...

Destiny Islands though Traverse Town has, at most, two episodes worth of content. Even assuming that this is only a 75 minute movie you'd have to pad it out to high heaven to make it into a full film. In fact, if we go by this cutscene compilation Sora, Donald, and Goofy enter Wonderland at...

My suggestion of having four Disney worlds was an attempt to find a compromise between "this is supposed to be a long journey where they visit numerous worlds" and "this is a movie adaptation that will at most have a runtime of two hours and some change, there's no room for a long journey."...

So. Um. Back to talking about the movie. I guess it would be possible to strip down and summarize KH1 to the point that there are only a few Disney worlds: Wonderland, Agrabah, Neverland, and arguably Monstro (depending on how much of Riku's arc is preserved.) This list is a bit...

I certainly hope this rumor is wrong, but the more I think about it the more it makes (bad) sense from some points of view. First of all, some executives will avoid animation whenever possible. For an example look at the Dragon's Lair movie Netflix is supposed to be working on. It's a video...

Weren't there some rumors that this would be live action back when this was supposed to be a series? I don't think they gained much traction because the concept of live action Kingdom Hearts just doesn't fit. And yet... The only reason I could see for going with live action over animated...

To be fair, movies aren't exactly Nomura's forte. He's fantastic when directing games, but movies are an entirely different medium. That's why his name is associated with so many classic games, but Advent Children and Back Cover are um... well... Disney has many of the top creative minds on...

The idea of having a theatrical movie feels like a double-edged sword to me. On one hand, if it's a movie in theaters there's no way that it's just a limited thing that Disney won't pay much attention to. They were terrified of crossovers for so long, there's no way they would allow the first...

Maybe we shouldn't be treating the manga as something that has a "verse." At this point it's clear that the KH3 manga isn't an adaptation that's supposed to stand on its own from the source material, instead it exists as promotional material for the game. Hence why it skipped over important...

This feels kind of like an imitation of someone renting a game or borrowing one from a library. At first you're just playing the game and taking the time to enjoy it, then suddenly the due date is coming up and there's no option to renew, so you're rushing through the final levels and skipping...

The nose knows.

Nobodies DO age. This is an example of why WoG is not the same thing as canon. We have one interview saying that Nobodies don't age against things like Ienzo having completely different models when losing his heart and after regaining it and Namine having different models for CoM and KH2. KH...

The funny thing is that if they hadn't decided to do a KH3 manga it would have worked perfectly fine as a separate canon. The original trilogy of KH1/CoM/KH2 is already mostly self-contained, and the only other game adapted, Days, is an interquel that doesn't leave any loose ends that aren't...
