Disney nearly made an animated Kingdom Hearts TV series

Recommended Posts

If there was a TV show, I would've liked it to be an anime and to be canon to the KH games...so I'm glad this didn't happen because it doesn't seem to follow the games and its not an anime.

 

It would follow the games, but it wouldn't have been canon. It would have been completely Disney.

 

But you know what, it still sounds awesome to me. They were going to use the actual backgrounds from the Disney films.

Totally agree! This show had a lot of potential but for me, the ideal KH show would've a canon anime by Square and Disney.

AS cool as this sounds, im glad this didn't take off. I would rather have a KH anime that:

 

A) Actually remains faithful to the games plot and doesn't go off and make its own

B) Isn't on something like Disney Channel

This animated TV series was going to be faithful. And not on Disney Channel? It's owned by Disney. Hahahahahaha. Of course it's going to be on Disney xD.

 

 

I completely agree. This sounds really cool, but I'm happy this isn't a real thing.

 

It is real. They just didn't go through with it until the end because they were making new games.

Well, from what i heard of the original plot and Riku and Sora fighting for the lamp, that didn't sound faithful at all to what happened in KHI. And, ok fine, but i mean, if they were going to be faithful to the plot, would it really fit on Disney Channel? I mean, KH has gotten pretty dark at multiple points in the story. :

But don't forget the airing of Hunchback of Notre Dame or Lion King on movie nights.

That's just an animatic to show what the series would be like in a short amount of time. Disney owns it, there's no way it would go on another channel. And dark? Please. Disney's doing Star Wars.

So you're saying that new Star Wars show is dark? Or that Disney would completely kidify Kingdom Hearts so they could show it on their channel?

It will have some dark elements. Same with Tron: Uprising.

That's just discussing a rumour. Lol. This is discussing a storyboard and what the director said about it.

 

What aired on Toonami? Not Star Wars and Tron. Lol.

 

Still interesting to see that the same show was being discussed over 10 years ago.

A Kingdom Hearts animated series would've been nice to watch but I doubt a lot of people will watch it (shows get taken off air because of this). They could also adapt the manga, and make it similar to Avatar The Last Airbender where you had anime/Asian cartoon like elements but its more like a westernized cartoon.

Update: @_branden_ of @khunion has conducted an interview with Seth Kearsley, the director and writer. You can listen to it here.

I really don't see why people are so persistent on having Kingdom Hearts become an anime so they can complain about it later when all their favorite moments couldn't get put in or some other stupid thing like animation or whatever. Kingdom Hearts is a long series, so it's really too much to mold into an anime. I don't mind the manga but geez people, a Kingdom Hearts anime is never gonna happen. Period. 

 

Good thing this isn't an anime then.

Oh. That's unfortunate. I would have loved to see what it would have been like! It would been cool at the time to release as well. 

 
Considering the animated shows on the Disney Channel in the early 2000's were better than the live-action crap they exploited.
 
The early 2000's Animated Disney Channel shows had some of the most memorable, mixed up, and best action cartoons on the channel at the time. 
 
The shows included were The House of Mouse, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, the Lilo & Stitch series, and KIM POSSIBLE. 
 
But, oh well. Nice to see there was at least consideration for an animated series at a point in time.

*cough* Looking at the drawings, I'm very glad this has not been made in an actual tv series. The only tv format of KH I'd accept would be an anime, which would likely and hopefully do the art justice. It's not necessary tho. *wipes sweat* I really have to cringe looking at those faces.. Sorry Disney, the game already has the anime style, so it would be absolute bullshit to change that, just to make it a Disney show. I'm glad I only saw Sora and Riku on these drawings. Don't want to imagine it were other characters like Xemnas or Axel or Saix.. holy damn, I'd have nightmares for months. /o

Lol. I hope no one shows you the beta trailer for Kingdom Hearts.

I already saw it. So what? It was a beta trailer... 

 

I'm just not fond of seeing KH as a cartoon, because it wouldn't do KH's artstyle justice. No matter how you look at it, these drawings could never be perfected in a way that would look much better. Not to mention I don't see any KH in this early plot.
