Hoshiko Hikari 300 Posted May 17 There have been various rumours floating around the internet recently about Disney making a Kingdom Hearts film or TV series which will apparently be a live-action/CGI crossover. Whilst I'm still sceptical about this as it's not the first time there have been such rumours and I also don't like the idea of seeing Sora being played by a real person (how will they deal with his huge feet?!) it does get me wondering what a live-action Kingdom Hearts project might look like. An easy way to start would be by looking at the real-world locations that feature in Kingdom Hearts as these could become filming locations. Here's a few below: Port Royal, Jamaica (photo from Wikipedia) Featured in KH2 and KH3 as part of The Caribbean world. Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France (photo from Britannica.com) Featured in KHDDD as part of La Cite Des Cloches Big Ben in London, England (photo from Britannica.com) Featured in KH1 as part of the Neverland world. Shibuya Crossing in Shibuya, Japan (photo from JapanTravel.com) Featured in KH3 as part of Quadratum. The name "Shibuya" hasn't been used to refer to Quadratum within the game but the location is pretty much an exact replica, down to the 109 building that Sora fights Yozora on. Shibuya has been mentioned, however, in KHDDD as the home of Neku and his friends. Additionally there are locations in Kingdom Hearts which resemble real-world places such as the following: St James Street in London, England (photo from Wikipedia) or any Victorian-era street in London really. Resembles Scala Ad Caelum in KH Missing-Link and the end of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. Dubrovnik, Croatia (photo from Wikimapia). Resembles Scala Ad Caelum in KH Dark Road and KH3, mainly due to the use of cable cars, pale buildings and closeness to the sea. This may be a bit of a stretch though. There's lots of other examples I could mention but I think this article is long enough! Whether a KH film/TV series happens or not you can always visit these places in cosplay for a photoshoot! 5 minutes ago, Hoshiko Hikari said: There have been various rumours floating around the internet recently about Disney making a Kingdom Hearts film or TV series which will apparently be a live-action/CGI crossover.

I know that, technically, Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower, but most everyone refers to the whole tower as Big Ben, even though its official name, as only of 2012, is indeed Elizabeth Tower. 1 Movies798 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's Mont Saint Michel, which is also the inspiration for the Kingdom of Corona in Tangled. I didn't include every example of real places in the franchise as I was having so many issues with this website whilst making the post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
