I repeat, back in the flashback of the live-action, Alice is younger than in the animated version. In that flashback, Alice looks like having 8 years at least, or maybe even younger. She looks like 18 years in the present time of the live-action. And the animated version of Alice, she looked like a girl of 11 years, more or less. This clearly prooves the animated version and the Live-Action don't share the same continuity.

I checked the info. Wish we could have another event from here to December that will reveal us some new official information.

I know that part. But still, the "first journey" in the flashback of the live-action movie doesn't match at all with Alice's animated version. + First of all, the Alice in the live-action's flashback looks younger than the animated Alice. + In the animated version, Absalom (or Mr Caterpillar) became a butterfly quite quickly; but in the live-action, he was still a caterpillar, as if he never turned into a butterfly. + The Red Queen was clearly influenced by the Queen of Hearts, but she should have been named as "Queen of Hearts" to keep continuity with the animated version; which it didn't happen. + And most importantly, Alice's animated version of Wonderland wasn't at all as "gothic/creepy/spooky" as the live-action version. (We own that to Tim Burton's style).

It's not really a "live-action sequel", more like a "live-action remake". And no, I don't consider it because that movie (along with all the live-actions remakes Disney is doing now) belong to a different "reality" of the animated versions. Elements from this movie could be adapted to make a sequel of the animated version, however. We would still need a remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" to have all the original Princesses of Heart in live-action remakes. And honestly, doing that with Walt Disney's original master piece, would be going too far. The point of my question is, however, the fact that Wonderland is a world that was created through a dream, Alice's dream.

I just thought about something. According to the movie of "Alice in Wonderland", Wonderland itself was nothing more than a crazy dream Alice had while she was asleep in the park. So, could this mean Wonderland is like a Sleeping World? After all, when Alice woke up, Wonderland literally ceased to exist. So, could Wonderland be considered a very special kind of Sleeping World?

Well, if I have to guess, I suppose the Replica could have been teleported to the Gummi Ship after the battle to keep it safe. Roxas' return unexpected? Sorry, pal, but since this story was the end of an arc, it was obvious Sora woul dhave to save EVERYONE, Roxas included. So, I expected his return from the beginning. Also, the Replica on the Keyblade Graveyard was already wearing the Organization's cloak, just like Roxas; while the Replica used by Ansem the Wise and the others was practically naked. Also, if the Replica from Dark Riku was transported to the Gummi Ship, and then possessed by Roxas, that could explain how it fell from the sky at the last second. Good for you if you find sense in the original story, but I find it more logical this way.

I completely share your point, pal. I personally have the hobby of storytelling/fanfiction, and writing a story is anything but easy. However, I don't care about what the public wil think or if they will like it; I write stories I know I will like, and that's enough. You can't please every single person after all. Writing the stories you will like to hear was one of the keys of Stan Lee's success, and I greatly admired that man. However, it's also true that it's quite easier find error in another ones' work before your own. I have no regrets about Tetsuya Nomura's story for KH3, but some errors can't be avoided to be mentioned. One of them, for me, it's the Replicas' topic. Ansem the Wise, Ienzo and the others used a Replica to restore Roxas; then, somehow, they managed to send it to the Keyblade Graveyard just in time to save Xion and Axel. In the meantime, the Replica used for Dark Riku was supposed to be used for Namine; but Sora and Riku didn't even bother to put it in some safe place until the battle was over. I can't stop thinkign that it could have been more easy if the Replica from Dark Riku was used for Roxas, and the Replica on Ansem the Wise's lab was used for Namine. Don't you think it could have been more logical this way?

This better be juicy.

I wrote my own topic about the same thing. You can see it here: https://www.kh13.com/forums/topic/121032-mcu-in-the-future-of-kingdom-hearts/ I also believe the MCU could be used as an adventure for Sora in Kingdom Hearts. This is how I imagine the main points: 1º) Thanos' snap could be the key for the crossover. Thanos' snap could have caused a disruption through the universe and open a hole that caused individuals from other realities being dragged to the MCU. That could work to explain Sora's presence in the MCU. 2º) To explain Sora presence through different movies, I guess the Quantum Realm could be used. If the Gummi Ship could travel through the Quantum Realm, this could allow Sora to travel through the different eras in MCU and meet several heroes. For example, go to 1942 and meet Captain America in "The First Avenger"; then going forward and meet Captain Marvel in 1995. Of course, Sora could only go forward to avoid the whole "time changes" and stuff. 3º) Sora would have to avoid certain moments in the MCU to avoid inconcluences. For example, just like they skipped "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men's Chest" to avoid Sora from interfering in events (surely saving Jack from being devoured by the Kraken), Sora couldn't be in "Infinity War" to avoid Thanos' snap. It would be like Ant-Man escaping the snap in the Quantum Realm. 4º) Disney's characters in this story should be reduced. I mean, considering Howard the Duck, Sora could have Donald and Goofy with him. Also, since there are some similarities between characters from Disney and Marvel, maybe Sora should rescue those characters from being dragged to the MCU too. For example, both Disney and Marvel have an Hercules. Marvel's Arabian Knight has several similarities with Aladdin. Disney and Marvel have both a character known as Beast. And of course, Big Hero 6 were based on a superhero team of Marvel. 5º) Now, which "movies" would Sora visit in the MCU? It should be different places through time and space to avoid "time inconcluences". And all of them should have an objective. Sora should have a "guide" to help in this mission too, and I believe the best candidate should be the Ancient One. These are the "worlds" Sora should visit: + "Captain Marvel": Its goal would be obtaining the Tesseract, from the alien cat. + "Avengers" (The first movie): Its goal would be obtaining Loki's Scepter, after defeating him. + "Guardiand of the Galaxy": Its goal would be obtaining the Orb, after defeating Ronan. This should be tricky, as they should avoid Thanos' attantion. + "Doctor Strange": Its goal would be obtaining the Eye of Agamotto, right after defeating Dormammu and force him to bargain. + "Thor - Dark World": Its goal would be obtaining the Aether, once Malekith is defeated. + "Iron Man's movie": One of the three, which goal would be protect Stark, as he would be needed to stop Thanos. + "Hulk": Its goal would be save Hulk, as he would be needed to use the gauntlet and undo Thanos' snap. (Some things has to happen like originally). + "Captain America - The First Avenger": Double goal, one is saving Cap America, as he's the one who will assemble the Avengers. The other would be obtaining the Tesseract, but it would fail, so they will try again with Captain Marvel. + "Ant-Man's movie": One of the tw movies. It's goal would be saving Ant-Man, as he will be needed for the Quantum World's trip. + "Black Panther": Its goal would be saving Black Panther, as the Avengers will definitely need Wakanda's army and tech to beat Thanos' army. + "Spider-Man - Homecoming": Its goal would be saving Spider-Man, as his death on Stark's arms would be necessary to motive Stark into help the Avengers with the Time Machine. + "Avengers - Age of Ultron": Now, this one is tricky. Its first goal would be saving Quicksilver, then Quicksilver would sacrifice himself to gain the Soul Stone from Vormir. 12 "Worlds", 6 to gather the Infinity Stones, and 6 to save important characters to defeat Thanos. All this will take us to the "final world": + "Avengers - Endgame": Its goal is clearly defeat Thanos and his army, and avoid at all cost he uses the Infinity Gems again. The final battle here already shares a lot of similarities with the final battle on KH3. Check my other topic: https://www.kh13.com/forums/topic/120158-comparisons-between-the-plots-of-avengers-endgame-and-kingdom-hearts-iii/ After this, Sora would use the Gems to open a portal back to his reality, and the Avengers will take care of returning the Gems to their proper places. Well, what do you think?

Thanks, pal. Glad you like this. + About Neverland, I believe Jane can work perfectly. I mean, NeverLand seems to be a world where time doesn't pass. I mean, Wendy becomes adult and have children, but Peter, Hook and all other remain the same. Now that I think of it, "Jake and the NeverLand Pirates" could work, although they should adapt the character to be a little more "serious" and maybe a little "dark". + About Land of the Dragons, yeah. Certainly, manipulation from the Heartless could be useful to improve the plot from "Mulan 2".

Kingdom Hearts is an hybrid between Disney and Square Enix, so you can't have Kingdom Hearts without Disney. Also, it has been confirmed that Japan is not the one from the real world, or the Shibuya from TWEWY, but the one from "Verum Rex".

One of the best things about Kingdom Hearts is the idea of exploring new worlds, usually based on Disney's movies. However, you have to admit that, while it's logical for a world (which story has been completed) no longer to appear, there are quite several elements from some others that could be explored. Some worlds have been present during Sora's 3 main journeys, one way or another; like "The Lion King", "The Little Mermaid" and "Hercules". Also, KH3 showed us that the worlds not necesarrily need to follow the plot of their movies, as they can have different kinds of adventures (although with references to the movies). We have examples on "Toy Story", "Monsters Inc" and "Big Hero 6". Therefore, we should analyse which worlds can still be useful for Kingdom Hearts' franchise in future games. I won't count the live-action remakes because they would cause too many non-senses in the continuity. (Live-Action Maleficent is clearly way different from the classic animated Maleficent, for example). Let's see: + "Wonderland": First time Sora visited this world, there wasn't too much to explore. In fact, the plot almost didn't follow the plot of the movie at all. More similar to the movie was the plot in KH:UX, where we also met in person other characters from the movie, like the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. The Caterpillar is another character from the movie who appeared in minor products of KH, but not in any main game. So, I believe a new adventure here should be in order. + "Deep Jungle": It really bugs the fact that they couldn't use Tarzan's world for more than the first game. After the success of the whole KH's franchise, anyone could say Disney would have permission to use him again. Elements from the animated series of Tarzan would be useful to visit this world again; especially the new villains, like Tublat, the exiled gorilla. And on top of them, we have Queen La, wizard queen of the lost city of Opar. + "Olympus": All the main points of the main movie has been already used, but considering how important have been this world through ALL the games, I believe we could still see it again thanks to the animated series of Hercules. That series put us mainly while Herc was in training and in the High School, but the antagonists used in it could be useful for new adventures. Between them we had Echidna (mother of al monsters), Ares (God of War) and Antaeus (the half titan). + "Agrabah": Normally, we could say they already used the main movie and "The Return of Jafar". However, it doesn't have much sense how Jafar was defeated in KHII, as he was defeated, and then his lamp disappeared. To truly defeat Jafar, it should have been like in the movie, destroy the lamp and you destroy Jafar. With this, Jafar could still appear when less expected. Even so, we still have the animated series of Aladdin and the final movie "Aladding and the King of Thieves". Not to mention Sora still haven't seen elements from Agrabah that appeared in KH:UX, like the inside of the Palace, meeting the Sultan and Rasoul. We still have a lot to see from Agrabah. + "Pinnochio": There's not much to mention about this, as we saw Pinnochio becoming a real boy at the end of the first game. Still, the fact of a sleeping world being truly restored in still unaswered. After KH:3D, was Pinnochio's world really restored? They should show us. + "Atlantica": The first game showed us a story that could have happened in the animated series of "The Little Mermaid", and KH-II followed more of the first movie's plot. Still, elements from the animated series could be used for more adventures, as well as the movie about "The Origin of the Little Mermaid" and of course, "The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the sea". + "Halloween Town": Oficially, this world is already completed, but if they can use it, they could expand it using the plot from the videogame "Oogie's revenge". + "Neverland": We have the sequel of "Return to NeverLand" to use, but they could use the movies of Tinker Bell too. They are supposed to happen BEFORE Tinker Bell met Peter Pan, but the stories can still be adapted, somehow. + "The Land of Dragons": Obviously, the plot they can still use here would be "Mulan 2". There's no much action in this movie, but it can always be adapted to the world of Kingdom Hearts. + "Beast's Castle": KH-II ended with, apparently, the spell broken. However, Sora never met Maurice (Belle's father) or Gaston, who appeared back in KH:UX. So, I believe this have to be solved somehow, because is really sad Gaston was never saw in HD. + "The Caribbean": Obviously, this world still have material for a lot of future adventures. They had to skip "Dead's Men Chest" for obvious reasons; otherwise, Sora would have surely helped to save Jack from the Krakken, ruining the next movie. "On Stranger Tides" and "Dead Men Tell No Tales" are great material to appear in the future of Kingdom Hearts. + "The Pride Lands": Simba has been along Sora for most of his journeys, so it's only fitting for Sora to return to the Pride Lands at some time. The most logical thing would be using the plot of "Simba's Pride", but considering the great things of the animated series "The Lion Guard", I believe this could work too for Sora. Becoming honorary members of the Lion Guard would fit perfectly to Sora, Donald and Goofy. + "Castle of Dreams": The main movie was already used, but the sequel "What If...?" could give us a hint for a chance to use this world again, when Lady Tremaine gets her hands on the Fairy GodMother's wand and turns the clock back. Now that I think of it, if Maleficent learns about this trick, she could use in other worlds too, like Agrabah, Dwarf Woodlands and Enchanted Dominion. An interesting new trick to get more from old stories. + "Dwarf Woodlands" and "Enchanted Dominion": What I said about Castle of Dreams. + "Deep Space": We only saw the part of the movie from the beginning, before Stitch reached the Earth. So, they have to adapt the rest of the story about Stitch finding his Ohana on Hawaii, alongside Lilo. Also, elements about the animated series and Stitch's cousins could still be used to increase Stitch's role in Kingdom Hearts's universe. I don't think it will be too complicated, after all; Sora has already visited a "modern world" in San Fransokyo. + "La Cité des Cloches": We already had the plot of the movie in KH:3D, but I'm not sure if that can be counted, considering this world was asleep when Sora and Riku visited. Maybe making another visit to it will be necessary. + "Country of the Musketeers": It doesn't have sense to visit this world again. + "Symphony Of Sorcery": Maybe Sora could visit this world again, adapting the musical segments from "Fantasia 2000". + "Space Paranoids" and "The Grid": The main plots from both movies were already used, but considering how "virtual reality" is getting an important role in the universe of "Kingdom Hearts", maybe Tron's world could have more importance in the future. + "100 Acre Wood": You like it or not, I personally like this world in KH; mainly because it works like a "little paradise" where Sora can momentarily escape from all the darkness he fights and relax. Personally, as long as Christopher Robin doesn't appear, I believe this world will keep appearing. + "Toy Box": This world gave us the first time we don't truly follow the plot of a movie, so it would be interesting to see them again in the future. Personally, the whole thing of Verum Rex makes this world a point of interest. And even if Sora never meets Andy face to face, it sure is fun to see Sora in the world of Toy Story. I hope next time, he will meet the rest of the gang, like Jessie, Bullseye, the Potato Heads and Bo Peep. + "Monstropolis": The main plot of the movie was already "used" into a new adventure, and I don't see any reason to return to this world. However, since I don't think we have seen the last of Vanitas, I believe he could return to this world again to gain more negative emotions. Not to mention there's something really weird with this word; because it seems it can connect with all the worlds we know. During the scene where Mike and Sully throw Vanitas through several doors, we can recognize other worlds from the game: The frozen forest of Arendelle, the floor of Corona's main plaza, the night's street of San Fransokyo, and what appears to be somewhere in Toy Story's world. + "Kingdom of Corona": Rapunzel's role as one of the New Seven Hearts makes logical Sora will have to return to this world at some point. For new adventures, they can use the plot from the animated series, where Rapunzel's hair was restored, but without healing powers. + "Arendelle": Just like Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa's role as members of the New Seven Hearts makes necessary for Sora to return here at some point. I guess they could use the plot from the new future movie, "Frozen 2". + "San Fransokyo": Finally, the animated series of Big Hero 6 could be used to give us more adventures along this team. Especially after the presence of two Baymaxes in the team broke all the continuity until now. Well, what do you think?

Japanes version of KH:UX has been upgraded with new story parts. I would say the next one will take us to Sugar Rush. Funny thing. I was thinking about the possibility of the CyBugs eating and assimilating a Heartless, and it finally happened. But I have to say, the result is even creepier than I imagined it. Do you think this combination could take us to the creation of an enemy even more dangerous than regular heartless ever were?

Rest in peace, Mrs Taylor; you earned it. I don't think your replacement will ever be at your level.

Since the NA version was updated, I hope thi means the Jap version will be too soon.

One more thing, they keep calling the era of KH UX as the "Fairytales era"; but how is that different from nowadays? I mean, in BbS, the first trio (Terra, Aqua and Ventus) traveled through the worlds of Cinderella, Aurora and Snow White. In his first journeys, Sora traveled through Agrabah, Wonderland and Best's Castle. And in his last journey, Sora visited Arendelle, Coronaand Olympus. How is this any different from the era of KH: UX? I'll say the "Fairytales era" still continues.

Finally!! I was starting to think nobody was going to comment anything else here. OK, let's continue about with suspections about where we could have more new scenes: + Dark World: The scene with Aqua and Ansem the Wise is out of place, since chronologically, it should happen right before the first scene with Riku and Mickey in the Dark World. I believe this part should be extended with something like Riku and Mickey wondering what it could happen to Aqua; possibly all while they prepare their new Keyblades. Something between the first conversation of Aqua and Ansem the Wise, and the appearance of Ansem SOD should be, should also happen. + 100 Acre Wood: Not sure. Maybe a bonus scene where Merlin talk with Sora about the progress of Kairi and Axel during their training. + Arendelle: Not sure about this one. Maybe one scene to explain how Sora felt Anna's pain when she was hit by Elsa's magic by accident. Another one could be right after Larxene leaves the world saying "We are ready now". + Mysterious Tower: Some scene before Sora's team arriving to inform right after Arendelle, when Sora says they are sorry for being late. + Keyblade Graveyard: An extention of the scene involving the "Secret of the 4", meaning why the Organization chose Luxord, Larxene, Demyx and Marluxia for their ranks. (Obviously, is because their old lives in KH UX). + The Caribbean: No one clear. Maybe an extention of a scene with Luxord? This could give us more hints about his "past live". + The Secret Forest: No sure, maybe a scene with Kairi receiving her new clothes from Merlin? + Dark World: An extention of the scene of Riku and King Mickey vs the Demon Tower? Maybe show us how they arrived to the Dark World and this fight started. + Twilight Town: Something else to gives more information about the mysterius girl that Ansem SOD and Ansem the Wise were talking about. Also, some more hints of Vexen's secret plot to help Sora's team, and probably revive Xion. + San Fransokyo: Nothing, except maybe an extention of the scene with Maleficent and Pete meeting Dark Riku. + Dark World: A scene showing us how Riku Replica got Riku's old Keyblade and repaired it, and maybe an extention of how Sora saved Aqua in the end. + Radiant Garden: An extended conversation between Vexen and Demyx, and something else revealing us more details in the scene with Ansem the Wise's return, and the Replica Demyx brought to the laboratory. + Castle Oblivion/Land of Departure: Maybe a scene with Sora's team back to the Mysterious Tower right after rescuing Aqua. Also, and extention of Sora's moment when he awoke Ventus. + "Reunions": These scenes are already long, but we could have even longer versions. One of them could be when everyone is together at the Mysterious Tower. In Aqua and Ven's scene, Ven mentioned "People he didn't recognize", which could be the main characters from KH UX. The scene with Maleficent and Pete could give us more hints about where the accursed box really is. Finally, Axel and Saix's scene could give more information about the mysterious girl; or Saix give us a hint about his secret plan to bring back Xion. + Keyblade Graveyard: Nothing interesting between their first arrive until the tragic moment. The flashback scene with young Eraqus and Xehanort could be extended, to explain from where came the 7 extra white pieces from the light side. + The Final World: Some other star that Sora can talk? His conversation with Namine could be extended, and show us the scene from the KH Concerts where Namine contacted with Terra's Lingering Will. In case the anonimous star that Sora talks is actually Strelitzia, we could get more info from her? Finally, Chirity could make more references about his old owner, Ventus. + "The Worlds": Nothing important, really. Except maybe Toy Box's part could give another hint about Verum Rex. And in San Fransokyo, an extention of Young Xehanort's mysterious words. Well, this is all for now. I still have to analyse the final battles; and by the look of the trailer, it looks like we will have a lot of them here.

I understand your point, pal. However, I truly believe that dialogue in Toy Box has to be added; mainly because it gives more info about the mysteries around Verum Rex. Anyway, I have been checking all the scenes of KH-III, trying to identify a potencial place for new scenes to be introduced in Re.MIND. I have some potential places, following the story AFTER the Olympus; because we know Xigbar's scene "May your heart..." is where his conversation with Luxord happens. Let's see: 1º) Dark World: First, a prolonged scene with Riku and his Replica reuniting. Second, a scene showing us how Riku Replica takes Riku's broken Keyblade for himself and, somehow, it is repaired. 2º) The Mysterious Tower: A scene where we see Sora returning to this place; and probably, this world becoming playable as it was going to be originally in the trailers. A possible Flashback of Eraqus' death and Ventus reacting inside Sora. A scene showing the creation of Mickey and Riku's new Keyblades. 3º) Twilight Town: Something else during the moments where the Nobodies appear for the first time and when the Demon Tide retreats. 4º) The Secret Forest: A proper introduction of this mysterious world, giving it its own "title". Probably a scene where Riku and Mickey bring the new suits for Kair and Axel. 5º) Radiant Garden: An introduction for the world, alongside a "title". Something else to show how Dilan takes Riku and Mickey to the place where Aqua disappeared. 6º) Toy Box: Possibly a different trailer of Verum Rex, or an extended one. (If this is a "Final Mix", they could have more details). Also, new scenes when they are in the videogame section in general; probably to reveal more info about the game's characers. Also, maybe a scene with a vision Sora has when he gets in or out the game. Maybe a vision with Wreck-It Ralph and the recent events in KH:UX and Ralph's world. 7º) Part of the conversation through the Gummiphone with Riku and King Mickey could be expanded, probably the part where Mickey mentions "one of the members of the Organization". 8º) Kingdom of Corona: The scene of Mother Gothel's eyes turning pink when she sees Marluxia. (I believe that should be explained). The scene where Sora falls sleep because of Marluxia could be a moment to give another "vision" for Sora. Finally, just lik in Olympus, maybe the last scene with Maleficent and Pete could be extended. 9º) Riku and Mickey's conversation with Ienzo in Radiant Garden could be extended. The same thing could happen in the Keyblade Graveyard's scene with Saix and Vexen, probably revealing their secret plan to bring back Xion. 10º) Monstropolis: I believe a scene where Sora hears that Boo comes from "another world" should be considered to appear. Also, when Sora face Vanitas, an extended scene should appear to reveal more details or something. (Not to mention the fact that, when Sully throws Vanitas through different worlds, we can see clearly is through several worlds in the game: Arandelle, Kingdom of Corona, San Fransokyo and, probably, Toy Box). I'm still checking the whole story, but I think this is enough for the time being.

This sounds a little tiresome, but considering how they are doing a remake of FF-VII with awesome improved graphics, do you think they will make remakes of all Kingdom Hearts' previous games with KH-III's graphics? The original graphics were great, but the new ones could make the games even better. Only problem I see is that I don't want to play a version of the original KH where they have to removed Tarzan's world.

Considering that happens during the scenes from the ending, I doubt we will have such luck. I do hope, however, that we will understand where Sora went after he disappeared. It has no sense, but it seems he was sent inside the virtual world of the game "Verum Rex".

Guys, I think I have a few clues about the changes that Re:MIND could give us in KH-III's story. I believe there are quite a great number of scenes that could be changed or extended. These are some examples: + Toy Box: The scene that was apparently cut from the demo years ago, where Rex mentions that Donald and Goofy were "Yozora's super sidekicks, Magia and Aegis". I don't get why they cut this scene, unless it has a bigger importance for the future. + Olympus: The last scene, where Saix says "May your heart..."; I believe this scene will be extended to show us the scene of the trailer where he's talking with Luxord. I mean, it's pretty obvious the scene must happen right there. + Keyblade Graveyard: We will have a lot of scenes in particular, but I have one in mind. It was said that, when Sora called Xion's name with Roxas' voice, Xion's current heart left Sora's body and entered inside Xion's new Replica body. I believe we will have a scene where we will see this clearly, and an effect where, the moment Xion's heart enter in her new body, she will suffer flashbacks from her "previous lifes". That could explain why she's suddenly suffering a breakdown. Do you have any suspiction about where else we could have an extended scene of this story?

This scan from the KH Ultimania shows an artwork that apparently has all the pieces we see in the chess game in different scenes. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D0l2LBwV4AEFqFq.jpg

You know?, there's another detail nobody has noticed either. "Luxord" is quite similar to "Luxu". Coincidence?, or maybe there's something more?

The E3 already passed. Do you know which other future convention we could get new info about KH3?

It would be a cool reference, thinking that Woody and Buzz really met Sora in continuity. However, I think this reference is actually just a coincidence.
