I am sure I am not the only one who has heard this rumor... but the Quarterman from EGM (as well as others) has anounced that there is a rumor about Disney and Squaresoft making a movie based on the PS2 game Kingdom Hearts. Does anybody know anything about this?

If this movie is made, how would you like to see it made?

There are four options that I can think of off the top of my head, and I am sure there are others you can think of too, so let's discuss..

First option.... have it done by the feature animation department known for most of the recent classics Tarzan, Treasure Planet, ect...
Second Option.... have it created by the Television Animation Department... Meaning smaller budget, but still decently animated movies, your direct to video releases, as well as Return to Neverland and Jungle Book 2

The third option would be to have the movie computer animated. Many characters have already been rendered for the new Philar-magic show and could be transfered to a new computer anamated world where the Square characters would seemlessly be in their natural state.

And the fourth option I can think of, which in my opinion could be the greatest (if done correctly) or worst (if rushed) option. And that would be to combine live action with the animation. There have been incredible improvements in technology since WFRR that could really do a Kingdom Hearts movie justice.

What do you think?

This is a relatively old rumor. It was even making the rounds at the Square booth at E3 last year. I'm sure something will come out of it, especially when you consider how much money the game has been taking in. Personally, I'd go with feature animation doing it.

I don't think the live action/cartoon would work becuase it would kill the style of the game. One of the more appealing aspects of the game was the way that all the different universes came together as one visual style. I don't think this could be accomplished with Live/Toon.

I have an old thread on this too. Disney is the ones looking at making the movie.

I actually read in a magazine somewhere recently that Disney was going to do the movie... and a television series as well... now if only I could remember where I read that at...

Oh well... I read it recently so it must be February or March issues of several different gaming magazines I get every month.
