As long as the movie is CGI and not live action I'm on board to see a Kingdom Hearts movie with Nomura-San as director.

“Kingdom CHAMPION! Fill me with everlasting DARKNESS!” Doesn’t have that same vibe...

If they ever ended up making a film or a show based on Kingdom Hearts, you know what would be cool? If the art style changed depending on the Disney world the characters are on.

"I can recite the lyrics perfectly almost, and I'm sure a lot of you can too" I've been singing the song daily for the past 10 years. I'm at the point where I'm switching between Utada and the background singers while I sing it to myself 😂

Me: sees thumbnail Me: Say sike right now.

I really like the kingdom hearts series a lot, I'm hoping to see more news of the games.

Reread the I interview,he said that Sora Kairi and Riku had to do with "the elements that made up the world" that has NOTHING TO DO with WEATHER

Can confirm Disney can use the KH characters however the please but out of respect for Nomura they don’t do anything without his permission. Its kinda like Spielberg with Rodger Rabbit they always ask him before doing something.

Nomura being a Utada Hikaru Stan is so wholesome

Wait, what?! 👀 Am I dreaming

The movie is better directed by a pancake.

Dude, I literally cried when I heard the ending song version of Simple and Clean for Kingdom Hearts 1. That was in fact, the first time I ever cried when playing a video game and it was just because I was just so awe struck that a game could affect me to such an extent and make me actually feel true emotions while playing a game. It truly cemented the game for me as one of the most amazing video game experiences of all time.

In all fairness yozora is voiced by Dylan sprouse, who in turn did Cody on the suite life of Zack and Cody, so it’s more than fitting that he’s a Disney character.

If they were going to make a Disney Movie I would want it to be an original movie that is part of the timeline in the video game with a completely different story

Daaaaaaaaaaaang man, that's really cool! Thanks for sharing John! ❤🗝

YO PRODIGY. Just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos. Helps me learn so much about a series that I love so much.

If they made a Kh movie I would be perfectly fine if Pixar made it but I personally would want it in the art style of movies like Aladdin or the goofy movie if that makes sense.

To me, Kingdom Hearts is one of those series where there's just no good way to make a movie out of it. The story is too heavy and convoluted-video game movies only work when their source material is so episodic and light on plot that the film can work as its own self-contained yet still original narrative, like with Sonic the Hedgehog. With Kingdom Hearts, there'd be no way to do that. You could either try and remake the main story into a two-hour movie, which would butcher it and take away 90% of the plot, leaving it deeply unsatisfying to fans and lackluster to others; or, you could try to make a new story narratively connected to the series plot, but then that would turn away prospective newbies and non-gamers to the film who may not be interested in playing a series of games just to understand a two-hour movie; or, still, you could make a story set in the KH universe that was totally unrelated to the rest of the series, which would be digestible to movie-goers but pointless to fans of the franchise. So, there's really no way to win with trying to make a film adaptation of this series. I know we all like fantasizing about the idea, but really, I've never thought making a Kingdom Hearts movie was a good idea. There's just no way to do it really well. And let's all not forget: probably one of the weakest elements in the franchise IS the writing. Nomura is a bad writer, and when you don't have great gameplay to distract from that, the prospect of a film as told by someone like Nomura starts to become pretty sour.

As far as Sora, Riku, Kairi, etc. being Disney owned characters, Sora and Aqua are actually playable/collectable characters in Disney Emoji Blitz, so that's at least one example of Disney specific use.

I swear to god if it’s on Disney + I’m going to be mad

Persona background music 🔥

We need a series

clips of the Coliseum cups in KH1 brings back memories :')

KINGDOM HEARTS:THE BOY WITH BIG SHOES..PT.1

I really hope so!

Kingdom hearts movie! I love the idea so much! I can't wait!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 🗝♥!!!!!

I'd love to see little cameos in movies like you see that totoro in Toy Story. Also a gummiship rollercoaster with shooting enemy ships would be so fun. Oooh or the jungle slide in Tarzan for a kingdom hearts water ride!!

He did name Sora with "Sky" in mind. He said that he named the Destiny Islanders after the three elements that make up the world, which were Sky, Land, and Sea (nautical mile, technically). He wasn't thinking of a weather phenomenon like Cloud, Squall, Tidus, and Lightning were. The very next question confirms with "Kai" that that was the theme they were going with. "The Pixar team would be best-suited for a Kingdom Hearts movie." Pixar isn't the only facet of Disney that does CGI films, if that's what you mean. The most recent Disney Animated Canon films are CG. But they're still better than the Square Enix movie developers.

That would be really awesome

What a Time to be alive!

That Persona music though. :-) Very interesting information. Yeah, Kingdom Champions doesn’t sound as mysterious as Kingdom Hearts. I always am amused by how many Final Fantasy characters are named after the weather. Intriguing information!

Anime or cartoon series would be best, they should adapt kh manga or LN Idk why disney is still not making this. It is very easy for them to do if they wanted. Are they afraid sora will be so popular that the other disney prince would look like a side character?

Let’s just be honest with ourselves! We all need to cross our fingers and hope they don’t, because you better believe Disney WILL find a way to completely fuck it up!

See the thumbnail. Me: 3:58 that’s on periodttt. It just better not be trash

I wouldn’t mind if they we’re in a movie because Kingdom Hearts has been getting a lot of love for the past 3-4 years. And it’s just starting because a new saga is about to begin and I can’t wait.

Well well im sold this is amazing i hope it happens we need it

KH needs a theme park in Disney. Similar to Epcot, but instead of other countries it’s other worlds in KH. At every world there’s different key blades you can get as souvenirs. I think I’m onto something..

I agree to it on one condition... It better not be one of those live action Disney Channel movie. And there should be some songs in there, too. Not like a musical, but something like from the classic Disney movies. I can already see it be about friendship.

😳 I would love this to be a movie ❤️❤️❤️

I was hoping to see Sora appear in Wreck it Ralph 2. That was possibly the only way for Sora to naturally appear in a Disney movie

I have really been wondering about this series, there’s a lot of sections in every game that has copyright music not acceptable on KZfaq when recording, it makes it hard to record the game without getting a claim, why is that?

There goes my plans for a KH film franchise.

Love the title lol, this aged really well

They try giving it a try and see how it turns out, but it better be good though

sora did show up in the background of wreck it ralph, if you look at the top of the screen when it switches to the outside view of tappers you see him sitting there with donald and goofy

I’m still surprised that Sora was never mentioned or anything in Wreck-It-Ralph

That be soooooo fucking cool!!!

I think you kind of misunderstood the Sora naming question. It’s not a coincidence that his name means sky, that was clearly planned as he said the names were created to represent the core elements of the Destiny Islands; land, sea and sky. I think he specifically was talking about Sora’s name not neccessarily being linked to weather in the same way some other Square main protagonists are.

Simple and clean has television in its lirics?

Disney should get the help of Studio Ghibli to help animate the Kingdom Hearts movie if they ever did make one.

I wonder what Nomura would say if Sakurai came to to talk to him

I would love see a kingdom hearts miove.

There's too much content for KH to be made into a movie. An anime-cartoon hybrid series would be best in my opinion, with certain 'arcs' being made into a feature length production. A Kingdom Hearts movie otherwise would need to be an original story (and preferably canon) and focusing more on the main cast & plot rather than retreading the stories of the other Disney films.

I wish

Love you're persona 5 ost

I think Normura's comment that he didn't name Sora with weather in mind just meant that he wasn't trying to match the Final Fantasy pattern for main protagonists.

What I want is cameos hidden in the background. Make Sora the Disney Stan lee

Oh no no kingdom heart’s plot is not accessible enough to be made into a movie

Honestly kingdom hearts characters are square+Disney characters

I feel movie wise i could see Pixar working with Square or at least Nomura vs Pixar having full control of the making a KH movie cause i dont see Disney and Pixar having full control of a KH movie going over well respect wise if Nomura wasnt involved.

I want MORE KINGDOM HEARTS UGH 💔

Kingdom hearts anime

Might work if disney gives the pass to do death and other dark stuff, Since its part of KH series. Also we old now, noit kids anymore, just like the series have grown up to be.

Was that persona 5 music I hear 😉

Kingdom hearts straight to dvd/blue ray movie!!!

So, Kairi means Ocean (from Kai) and Separation (from Kairi)? And the latter is almost more of an accident? The things you learn...

As much as I'd love a KH movie I think the story is waaayy too convoluted for general audiences or even half the fans including me to keep up with

Movie script ⬇⬇⬇⬇ (Spoilers ) Sora : COME FORTH BLUE EYES RED DRAGON! Carry : Suck me sora Sora : GOSH DAMMIN CARRY Riku : DARKNESS Sora : light Riku : DARKNESS Sora : LIGHTNESS Carry : use both Sora and riku : ok we believe u Meanwhile. .... Roxas : I ONLY CARE ABOUT NA ME NAE xion : what about me Roxas : Never heard of u Axel : we are best friend Roxas : ....lol Xion : now remember ? Roxas : yeah Xion : ok I believe you! Axel : GOT IT MEMORISED? meanwhile...... Ventus : BUT WHY DARKNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS? Vanitas : I'm darkness! aqua : ok. .. Terra : DIE CACTUS! ventus : ooh yeah! Vanitas : S H I T MEANWHILE. ....... -MANSEX- Xemnas : THE POWER OF T POSE! YOZORA : sup bro Riku : WTH! Mickey : lisen riku Riku : .... Mickey : darkness DARKNESS *DARKNESS!* riku : ok sure Sora : I keep u safe! Carry : no let me keep u safe! *the end* SUBSCRIBE : *just a pancake* And me also (for no content )

all you people prefer simple and clean WHILE I'M VIBING TO FACE MY FEARS

Mm, yes, 『Weather report』

There's only one thing i want to know. Did Sora finally eat his dinner?

I think you're kinda misinterpreting Nomura about not having weather in mind when he named Sora. The interviewer was connecting FF names to weather. So Nomura was saying that Sora wasn't supposed to be a connected thought to Cloud, Squall and Tidus, just connected to Kairi, and Riku as the group of elements. In short, "I was thinking of the elements, not weather". It was still a poetic choice, because the sky and the sea are always apart and stuff.

Animation series might be the way how it should go and honestly needs right now, cause right now series seems to take both Square and Disney elements, smash them together without the charm of either franchise staying intact. Series has become too much of lore-fill, focusing on trying to make its taped story stay intact, instead of just focusing on characters and letting their charisma lead the viewer along the story. Series need it cause for now the games really lack in characterization front, where chars are kinda bland and stiff (partly due technical limitations). Now, on animation platform it would be possible to bring more life into characters and allow the destruction of their world be perceived through their eyes. Episodic formula could be used to explore certain Disney-worlds while also bringing up themes and world-building along the mix. It is not impossible task. And heck, The Union story really earns well animated series. Maybe exploring the feelings of residents, feeling growingly anxious about upcoming fight and the time when they must likely strike down their own neighborhoods they last evening had cup of tea with.

oh please focus on FF7 remake part 2 please. but I love KH too! but please focus on ff7 remake part 2 nomura

Try to cut back on your commentary, like after the third “curious, interesting, almost kingdom heart” I just skipped to the questions to keep you on track.

Unpopular opinion, I really just want KH to stay the way it is. If it becomes a movie, I would want it to stay with Square Enix. Even though They are considered Disney Characters, we associate them more with Square Enix. I love that it’s getting the recognition it needs, but I don’t want it over hyped. I’ve been playing this game since I was 12 and it’s nice to just have our own “thing”, ya know?

A KH animated TV series would be an absolute nerdgasm to me!... Emphasis on animated, not live action!

GOD PLSSSS give us a fucking movie

I'm just curious, how much of kh does Disney own outside Disney characters in kh? I mean Disney doesn't own se, thank goodness cuz they ruin everything they didn't initially create. Ex: starwars

At this point all i want is a tv series over the what the fuck is happening in union X. Just like... Gimma a summary I can't catch up to 5 years of story build up that quickly

As long as square Enix is in charge of the movie that be cool. Disney would ruin the characters.

Dude it’d be awesome if they made kingdom hearts into a movie, but I’d also be very pissed if the director messes it up. Kingdom hearts is literally my life, I grew up on it, and I’m sure there are others who agree that ruining the game as a movie will invite a lot of angry people

Persona 5 though❣️

that is so weird. they are technicly Disney characters like the reinvented fairy tale ones, or Jack Sparrow. and they don't get songs. sure not all were musicals. but wheres yer songs man.

If they do make a kingdom hearts Movie i want them to bring Oswald into the universe. Because Godamnit Disney you finally got Oswald back and you hardly did anything with him!! 😤😑

I think TV series would be better than a movie

Hmm...don’t think a movie would work. It depends tho. Obviously a remake of one of the games is just stupid. Not a bright idea to make something that explicitly tries to tie into the main arc. If they made something completely fresh, then yea. Or even if they made a movie similar to 358 Days where it spends more time developing the characters and their relationships rather than expanding on the over arcing plot only for it to become relevant years later. Just for the love of God...Nomura should not write it.

Well... if they try to MAKE a movie, they need to cut a lot of time with the WORLDS they're visiting it... otherwise that could end in like a lot of hours...

It would be interesting if kingdom hearts 1 cartoons movie 🎥 be released on theaters around the world 🌍

I would prefer a Kingdom Hearts anime.

I mean its your opinion but saying that you like all disney movies over kingsglave and advent children is a bold statement lol.

Bit of a clickbaity title given its discussing an ultimania nearly a decade old

Don't do that... don't give me hope-

Disney would screw up the movie.

First

I don't want a Kingdom Hearts movie. There, I said it.

I honestly hope they wouldn't appear in a movie... because Sora basically came in and either was standing there cheering on or doing the hero's role. His role 9 out of 10 times was supporting till he got to the unique worlds. Sora himself does develop but he remains static. He is like Ash in Pokemon. Forever stupid and weak but insanely powerful and broken. It just either becomes an annoying insertion... or too much focus on a character who in of himself isn't interesting enough to carry an entire plot... except the original Ash did have character progression before they started swapping out his party and stealing Pikachu's experience. Sora is in that state where he is kind of a fan service character or Player Stand In. Making a good anything off that is hard when there isn't something to grip the player. Either pushing the graphics/art or having a fun game, a fun game which a movie would replace if a movie was used. If the movie was good... then it would've been better as a game you play or some plot to continue things... as opposed to a movie you must watch to understand bits and pieces of new lore for the next 10 games. Sora as even a cameo would be bad... but having a gummie ship as a cameo or more importantly having a key blade in the background. Then when you get the next KH game you're there before the events of the Movie... and maybe lose your key blade for a bit as you're knocked out and kidnapped only for Sora to call it to him later and later return to help that world. So now the game isn't literally the exact same as the movie/whatever.

Oh now they talk about a movie NOW THEY TALK ABOUT A FUCKIN MOVIE No seriously why are they now talkin about a movie that shoulda been out ages ago

Kingdom Champion sounds super generic tbh It sounds like a medieval diablo styled game or possibly an open world.

Doo whatt??!!!!
