Who's your favorite Kingdom Hearts YouTuber?

Hey guys it's Kimbolie12! I might have seemed a bit inactive lately, but I'm just really busy with my studies. I just finished a 10.000 word paper...I feel so empty inside. Anyways, another thing I finished is my station of awakening portrait for Skywardwing! Like Shield, I was also commissioned by him. After lots of hard work, this is the finished product! You can check out my other works, tutorials, video's and such here: http://kimbolie12.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/kimbolie12 https://twitter.com/kimbolie12 https://www.facebook.com/kimbolie12/

Sky has done it yet again! This is IMO a really good fan vid. And the song goes perfectly with it too! This is one of the best mash ups of KH and TWEWY I've seen yet. (Sorry, if you guys can't tell, I love SkyWardwing and Owl City. ^.^)[media=''] [/media]

So SkyWardwing posted this today and I thought: This would make for a great topic. Take a look:[media=''] [/media]SWW does bring up a lot of good points with this topic; There is the risk that Hollywood, as it is now, could ruin the series and tear the story to pieces. And what if it was adapted in the wrong medium-say live action? *cringes* Sky does say that if an adaptation were to happen, he would like for it to be its own unique story. While that is a good idea, I see a few problems with that; One, lets think of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. That movie was great!-for those who actually knew who the heck the characters were. FFVII:AC was made for the fans of Final Fantasy. Its not that well known of a movie outside of the FF circle. And of those who have seen it, it wasn't that well received by a lot of people. Thus, it kind of fell by the wayside. Imagine if that were to happen to a KH stand alone movie like that? I don't think it would really hurt the series as a whole, but it would be known as the Kingdom Hearts movie that failed. Now I, for one, actually do believe that an adaptation of the series is really possible. Let's take a look at a prime example; The Lord Of The Rings. For decades, people had wanted a movie of Tolkien's beloved tale, but, at the same time, were also afraid of one. Simply because the masses claimed that the story as a whole was un-filmable. Well, they were right-for the time. Many studios and companies tried and failed to adapt the massive work-some, having all three books as one movie. All failed, with the passible exception of Rankin/Bass. (And please, don't anyone get me started on the Ralph Bakshi monstrosity. ) Anyway, after decades of waiting, the Good Lord blessed us with a mastermind-Peter Jackson. Pete, was just as much of a fan as the next person, and paid considerable respect to Tolkien's hard work. What he gave us was a masterpiece that likely will not see its equal in the next 100 years. So, I've said all that to say this; With the right director, who has just as much love for Kingdom Hearts as we do, and with the right people, company, producers, backers, script writers, actors, and so forth, I think that a movie can happen. And, when you think about it, I'm quite surprised it hasn't been done yet. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we saw a movie in the next 10-15 years. Why you may ask? Well, lets look at what's trending in Hollywood; video game adaptations. Within the last two years or so, several video game adaptations have been announced to be in the works, or have rumored to be. Of the ones I know are being adapted: Sly Cooper World Of WarcraftAssassin's CreedSonicUncharted (I think)Now, we all know how Disney loves to jump on the next money making bandwagon, right? Well, my theory is, if all these adaptations make it through, and if they are successful enough, then Disney might take notice. Since KH is half owned by Disney, I see no reason why Disney wouldn't at least consider it. KH is, after all one of both Disney's, and Square Enix's better known video game titles. Its made a lot of good money for both companies and the fans love them. In closing, I think both Disney and SE would see Kingdom Hearts as a good way to make more money if they were to adapt it into a movie, or a series of movies at the very least.What are your thoughts?
