Kingdom Hearts hidden designs found in the Kingdom Hearts design document; Toy Story world design & Kingdom Hearts tentative title discovered

With a look through the design document, it appears that Kingdom Hearts was once named Kingdom of Hearts. 

 

They were right... all along...

I prefer Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom of Hearts sounds like a HBO fantasy drama.

This artwork is amazing...

Check out picture #18! Sora originally had a costume change for Deep Jungle. That's kinda cool! He looks kinda like a young Tarzan with spiky hair in that drawing. It would have been funny seeing him in a loincloth.

From the looks of it, it seems that these designs were from when the game was nearing its final stages. Still, nice to see this blast from the past. Hollow Bastion seems to have looked much more creepy, and Sora nearly had a devil tail to go with his Halloween Town costume!

That's pretty sick although it's kinda scary because a Game Design Document looks like a pain to make and I might make those myself someday.

Also, it's super cool just seeing it before it came to life.

Yeah, seeing what could have been. But look at what we have now. A beautiful series already reaching the end of a saga that spanned seven games!

Amazing...Kingdom of Hearts it would be ok too.

and sora also has a costume for aladdin as well, its seems like we where going to have costume changes for each world. i can't believe toy story has been trying to get in KH since 1

Wow! Sweet find! I just wish all the images were available in a larger format and resolution.

 

Also, Sora in a loincloth, lol! He's basically just a spiky teenaged Tarzan now that I see them together like that.

 

Also, how interesting that Alice was originally going to have her own Station of Awakening. And that Toystory world, WANT!

 

I really hope they give us more of these if there are any, and also supply us with a better quality too.

Sorry, but I don't think that was a Toy Story world. It looks more like an early Traverse Town design to me. The rocket doesn't even resemble the Pizza Planet one (the color schemes are completely different) and the house looks nothing like Andy's house. Plus there's the barn-like structure with an "M's" logo on it, which could easily have been what Merlin's house looked like back then. Basically, there's a lack of anything undeniably Toy Story-related, and considering the other world designs in the design document make it obvious what movies they came from, it leads me to believe that whatever the "Rocket World" is, it wasn't a scrapped Toy Story world. Again, my bets are on either Traverse Town or another world altogether.

 

Keep in mind that Disney didn't even buy Pixar until 2006 (about four years after Kingdom Hearts 1).

Is it just me, or is that armband red for Kairi?

I feel stupid but I don't see anything here that looks like a Toy Story world? Loving the concept art though. Wish I owned this document myself! You can see so many big and subtle differences between this and the final version.

 

I want that Tarzan costume change

It's not just you. Looks like her yellow band and bracelet were originally red. I think I personally prefer the yellow though...

Whoa! Interesting!

So, Kingdom Hearts was going to be called "Kingdom of Hearts". Hm.

I don't know if can be still annoyed at people calling Kingdom Hearts "Kingdom of Hearts" now. LOL

I know it annoyed the mess out of me, when my dad keeps calling Kingdom Hearts "Kingdom of Hearts". 

I still keep imagining if there WAS a Toy Story world, Sora might a Play Arts Kai figure, and Donald and Goofy might be an action figure toy, you would find in a Disney World gift shop. Or heck, all 3 of them be Play Arts Kai figures. 

anyone else not seeing anything toy story?

It's the one with the Rocket.

Kingdom Hearts for me.

Am I the only one who sees Als Toy Barn on one of the world icons, with a house above it, possibly resembling Andy's House?

We can in image #10-14 see Sora's old design. Looks like he had white/silver and black/brown hair, and his pants was orange.

Sorry to poop on the party but that's Traverse Town, not Toy Story. Read the table of Contents in the second image, it lists the worlds that are detailed, Toy Story is absent. Granted The Little Mermaid isn't listed either, but the full color images match up with what is listed. And it's grouped together with two original worlds, Disney Castle and Destiny Island, seemingly the first two worlds that we where supposed to visit, but where instead rendered as cutscenes moving Traverse Town from third to first. Perhaps that rocket was supposed to be Cid's Gummi shop? Regardless, there is no Toy Story in this image and whoever sees it only does so because of how badly they want it in the series.

I kinda wish the Alice Station had been put back in: without spoling the Kairi reveal, having 6 Stations foreach of the princesses, captured or not, would've been interesting.

So basically KHInsider needs to get their eyes checked,

How in the world is that Traverse Town? That looks nothing like Traverse Town... lmao. - Also it was confirmed by Nomura that there was intentions of adding a Toy Story world and there was designs, but didn't get finalized because of issues between Square and Pixar.
