If a full length Kingdom Hearts film were made, what would you want it to be based on?

 

As much as I would love to see a Days movie (the manga was just hilarious), I have to go with Kingdom Hearts.  It doesn't have a lot of what I love about Kingdom Hearts, but with this series, it's best to start at the beginning.  I wouldn't want Birth by Sleep because it doesn't have a conclusive ending (and it isn't all that happy).  That would be like starting Star Wars with Episode III.  If a movie were to be made, it would want to be appealing to a broader audience.

If a movie adaption of the first Kingdom Hearts game was to happen, I wouldn't want it in CGI, actually.

I'd actually want it to be a collaboration between Studio Ghibli and Disney. Seeing Sora done in that style would be unique and something new, Donald and Goofy would retain that Disney feel about them. 

To me, there are two logical courses of action here. One would be to go the FF7:AC rout and make an original story with characters we already know. Or, do an adaptation of Kingdom Hearts: BBS, since its a direct precurser to the main storyline for the KH series.

Something original would be awesome! Like maybe if it's done after KH3, something to set up the next saga, you know? It would probably be the most ambitious collaborative project between Disney and Square Enix, having an actual licensed movie that ties into the games. That would be so epic!

Personally, a reboot ala Ratchet and Clank would be the best option. Nomura can still keep the same lore without having poor retcon elements associated with it.

An original aside adventure. It might have or reveal some plot holes or something but I wouldn´t want it to be TOTALLY mixed with the series, meaning, I wouldn´t want it to be essential to the main storyline. Something to give us a WOW experience that stays there so we can rewatch it whenever we want even if someone was not a fan of the series. Nuff said!

 

Zaz!

 

I don't think a single full-length feature is really enough to fit the storyline of any of these games.

 

Also with all this talk about KH movies i've gotta ask, don't people consider Back cover to be a KH movie? Cause that's definitely the way I've been looking at it based on the trailer

Definitely an original story, either focusing more on Eraqus and Xehanort or otherwise following a new cast of characters.

This. If it were to be a Kingdom Hearts based movie, then I would either like to see something fresh, perhaps events with new characters taking place during the aftermath of the Keyblade War. If not that, then a Xehanort and Eraqus movie. Their backstory would make an interesting film, I think.

I'd want to see the story of Aqua, Terra, and Ventus from the time they disappeared to when Sora first started his journey.
