As some of you might know, there was a time back in 2000/2001 that Square Enix made a Pilot Episode of an animated Kingdom Hearts Show. (Pretty dope Aye!?) 

 

Wel yesterday Seth Kearsley revealed some Pretty sweet Details of it.

 

 You asked for it.  You got it.  I hope I don't get in trouble for this.  

This is all I have been able to find.  My sister insists that she has a DVD of the animatic somewhere but she hasn't been able to find it yet.  Looking back, I wish I could fix every single one of these drawings, but I still think this would have been bad ass.  When they get to Agrabah, I boarded it so I could use original backgrounds from Aladdin that I was able to get copies of from the Disney Archive.  So...when Riku grabs the lamp and suddenly becomes possessed by Maleficent, it's the same background as when Aladdin first grabs the lamp in the movie.



Woulda/coulda/shoulda been cool.  Maybe they'll do it at some point but just to head off some of the frequently asked questions, I have no control of this project.  It's completely owned by Disney.  I just directed and boarded the animatic pilot.



Enjoy.

OHHHHH I didn't realise that lol Makes sense now

Though a bit out of synch with the game's story, it still would have been interesting. I really hope that some day Disney will consider making something like this again, it'd really be nice to see KH get some more media and exposure to grab more fans, and potentially get marketed by Disney a lot better than they have been for the last 15 years.

Hmm, this is pretty darn cool and interesting! True, there are some changes to how the story goes along, but overall, it's very similar to the games! It would've been awesome to see a Kingdom Hearts show! But hey, it's still possible! With the popularity the KH series is getting nowadays, I'm sure an animated series/anime will follow suit at some point! Maybe after Kingdom Hearts III comes out, the entire Xehanort Saga can be adapted into animated form!
