Love Playing Kingdom Hearts? It May Soon Be a Disney+ Show.
Rumors are flying about a possible Disney+ animated series based on the popular game Kingdom Hearts. Reporters are collaborating these rumors with a series of tweets.
Been tagged in Jeremys post (which is true), so here’s what I know:
-Kingdom Hearts will be a Disney+ series, not a movie.
-It’s animated (CG)
-Disney VO actors are expected to reprise their roles (Jim Cummings, Bill Farmer, Tony Anselmo)

There is a #KingdomHearts series in the works at Disney+.
Disney originally wanted to make it but that didn't work out, so Square Enix was asked to create a pilot using Unreal Engine.
This series is most likely not live-action, but CG animated. They're currently casting. pic.twitter.com/jroZXImeOm

Kingdom Hearts is a role-playing game where the main character, Sora, travels through many Disney worlds with Donald and Goofy in order to seal the world’s keyhole and stop the Heartless invasion. The game includes both “good” Disney characters (King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, various princesses) and those nasty villians (Maleficent, Barbossa, Pete).
Rumors of a film have been circulating for a while, but the game itself has been accused of having a complicated and convoluted storyline that would be better adapted as a series.
According to articles by Eurogamer.net “The news broke via a tweet from Emre Kaya of Cinema Spot, who mentioned the series will be produced by Square Enix instead of Disney, with the company having already created a pilot episode using Unreal Engine. The rumour was also backed up by MCU Cosmic editor-in-chief Jeremy Conrad, and Skyler Schuler, editor-in-chief of The DisInsider. Schuler similarly heard the series would be an animated CG production, and added that Disney voice actors would return to reprise their roles”.
Voice actors include Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh), Bill Farmer (Goofy) and Tony Anselmo (Donald Duck).
New content is announced almost daily for Disney+. New shows are both confirmed, like the new Gaston and LeFou spinoff and the Solo: A Star Wars Story spinoff, and rumored, like a series featuring Will’s Smith’s Genie from Aladdin. Fans will have to wait as Disney releases more information about Kingdom Hearts and other rumored content.
