This past weekend at D23 Expo, we had a bit of fun relating to Kingdom Hearts despite the franchise not having its own panel session. At the con, Mickey (Bret Iwan), Donald (Tony Anselmo) and Goofy (Bill Farmer) briefly joked about wearing their Kingdom Hearts costumes to autograph sessions in their group monologue, which was met with appraise from fans of the series. But the Disney trio weren’t the only ones to share in the magic. Corey Burton, the voice of Yen Sid, notably spoke “may your heart be your guiding key,” a quote that has become synonymous with the series. While the full panel has been uploaded, @Ligero_miquel on Twitter edited together the footage of both clips. Did you happen to attend D23 this year? Tell us all about it, or what you thought of the clips.
