Open Channel: What Disney TV Show Should Be in Kingdom Hearts?

Today marks the twentieth anniversary of Square Enix and Disney’s Kingdom Hearts franchise, and the developer marked the event by asserting Kingdom Hearts 4. The new recreation marks the beginning of the franchise’s new “Lost Master” arc, selecting up the place Kingdom Hearts 3 left off: Sora’s in a modern-day Tokyo-alike known as the Quadratum, with a brand new companion named Strelitzia by his aspect. (Donald and Goofy, in the meantime, are on the seek for Sora, or a minimum of somebody who can assist discover their buddy.)

Normally, this is able to be the half the place we ask you what Disney motion pictures would make for a very good world within the Kingdom Hearts franchise. And whereas we’d be keen on listening to your ideas—after KH3 featured Frozen and Big Hero 6, I personally really feel like we may count on worlds based mostly on Raya and Soul—I feel it’s somewhat extra fascinating if we take into consideration what Disney exhibits would make for good additions to Tetsuya Nomura’s universe-hopping franchise. Thus far, KH has solely introduced Sora and pals to the world of Disney motion pictures. While we’ll actually see loads of these in KH4 , it’d be good for a few of Disney’s latest small display screen efforts to get some love.

The community’s had a strong streak of animated sequence for just a few years which have vibrant, enjoyable worlds which may very well be fairly compelling and enjoyable to expertise by an interactive medium. I consider one thing like Gravity Falls and The Owl House as fairly good picks for a Kingdom Hearts recreation, since each exhibits play with themes of friendship, rising up, and preventing to save lots of somebody’s soul very similar to the action-RPG sequence does. (That, and it could be fairly humorous for Sora to beat up Bill Cipher.) At the very least, it could be an sudden swerve, and doubtlessly a enjoyable one which opens the door for individuals who could not know these exhibits exist.

And in fact, there are the Star Wars and MCU sequence over on Disney+. Using a present like The Mandalorian or the upcoming Spider-Man MCU cartoon could be a simple method to usher in these respective IPs with out feeling the necessity to cram in as a lot from them as doable. And once more, there’s one thing enjoyable—and sure, admittedly cynically company—in regards to the concept of Sora hanging out with Ahsoka Tano or Din Djarin, to say nothing of any of the characters from the Skywalker Saga.

Think some Disney exhibits deserve KH love? Think there are higher motion pictures who would match the franchise higher? Should we simply forsake animation and pluck Sora and pals into the world of one of many live-action remakes? Let us know your ideas down within the feedback beneath.
