Hey, me and my friend are in an argument.. Who would win if Sora from KH and Korra from LoK went face to face? I'm obviously rooting for sora but it would be good to hear your thoughts. Thank you.

I've just published my film/cinema review of Disney's BIG HERO 6 and I also talk about Kingdom Hearts too in reference to Kingdom Hearts III! Hope you enjoy! You can see the review below or on my website via the link below. What do you think of the review? Any good? Fair? Comments are most welcome below, and on my website too. BIG HERO 6 REVIEW andrew-hankinson.co.uk/film/bighero6/ Hi-ho, Andrew the Hank here with yet another spectacular film review! Sorry for the delay; it’s been a month since I’ve seen the film! Busy, busy, busy with BA, Dominos, etc. So without further delay lets gets on with it; THE FOLLOWING CONTENT CONTAINS SCENES OF STRONG SPOILERS! The 54th Walt Disney animation, BIG HERO 6! Hiro is a boy genius who doesn’t utilise his potential until his brother Tadashi introduces him to his ‘nerd’ school, his friends (Fred, Wasabi, Honey-Lemon and Go-go) and his latest creation; an inflatable health care robot called Baymax. Hiro is inspired and when he attempts to be accepted by the school, tragedy befalls and Tadashi dies in a fire at the school. Hiro discovers the fire wasn’t accidental as initially thought and teams up with Baymax and Tadashi’s friends to track down and capture the culprit. After using the same qualities found in all Disney films (family members dead/in deep distress, heroic sacrifices, humorous sidekicks, merchandising) and the same life lessons (having friends is good, love conquers, believe in yourself, keep moving forward), Big Hero 6 has become another Disney classic and even won the best animated film at the Oscars this year. For this film it was the Saltcoats Premier Cinema again with my aunt and papa (yes, that’s what I call my granddad). We went for the 11:30 showing and the short film started exactly at that time, when we came in. Forgot the adverts were before the showing time; should have remembered after seeing Guardians of the Galaxy here. Anyway we came in as it started so grabbed the first seats we could find at the front in the centre. The seats were good, the picture quality was great and the sound was ok; it wasn’t louder than Odeon, but it was acceptable. I realised half way through the film that I didn’t see if my papa had his hearing aids in or on, so there was a possibility he couldn’t hear the film; he tends to stick them in and use them more as earplugs than hearing aids. It turns out he didn’t have them in, but it was loud enough for him to hear. So yes as soon as we got into the cinema a short film called “Feast” was played before Big Hero 6; it is through the point-of-view of a gluttonous dog who watches the relationship between his owner and their girlfriend through the meals they share. I thought it was good (it won the award for best short film at the Oscars this year as well) but I wouldn’t say it was my favourite; Paperman is still my favourite short film at the moment. I liked the short’s use of colour with the unhealthy food and with the green coloured food representing the girlfriend, but felt it had similar uses of connotations as Paperman. There is so much popularity with superhero films in recent years, and Disney creating a feature length animation with Marvel inspiration was a great idea. San Fransokoyo is brilliant and beautiful, combining the American superhero culture and the Japanese origins of the original Big Hero 6. It has the layout, hills, tram system and Golden Gate bridge of San Francisco with Japanese aesthetics to it (modern buildings, streets and neon lights; and traditional buildings, gardens and cherry blossom trees); it essentially looks like a futuristic version of San Francisco. The scene with Hiro and Baymax flying around the city was brilliant, but I feel that way of showing off the location and animation was nicked from How To Train Your Dragon. We wanted to see the Stan Lee clip after the credits but decided not to wait till the very end since no one else was there apart from the cleaner. I managed to find it on YouTube though (imagine it won’t be there for long) and thought it was great. Stan Lee’s caricature was brilliantly done and was a great addition; just wish we stayed to see it. I KNEW Krei wasn’t the villain! It was a twist within a twist for me; once the main characters start suspecting someone, you know immediately it won’t be them (this is Scooby Doo basics), but I was thinking the guy behind the mask was going to be Tadashi. In the end I was still surprised, but I was like Hiro and couldn’t get over Tadashi’s death; maybe I just watch too many Marvel films (except Spider-man films – everyone dies in them). And why was Baymax’s sacrifice so emotional?! Even while I was watching it I was thinking he’s a robot and Hiro could easily create another, yet I thought it was sad. Maybe it was the “I will always be with you” moment. The final scene/pose with all six of them was pretty epic too…but kinda nicked off the final scene from How To Train Your Dragon again. Overall I think Big Hero 6 is a great Disney animation and can be titled a classic unlike other Disney films; eh–Black Cauldron–hem! But here’s the big question: do I think it’s better than Frozen? It’s hard to say which is better because the films are two different styles/ genres of Disney animations; typical split into Disney’s take on classical fairy tales and original modern style stories. Both are brilliant in their own rights and can be liked by all ages and genders, but I would say Frozen is probably more popular because girly girls who love princesses will buy (or at least torment their parents endlessly until they buy) the tons of merchandising like dolls, toys, dresses and sing alongs. Whereas Big Hero 6 isn’t as musical; it’s more action packed and probably more for wee boys who imagine and aspire to be heroes and Marvel/Disney geeks like me. It’s slightly sexist, but true – let it go! The next in line with Disney animations is Zootropolis (Zootopia in America) set to release on 4th of March, 2016, about a modern city filled with animal inhabitants, and Lt. Judy Hopp (a rabbit) trying to prove herself in the police force by investigating and cracking a case; …strange but interesting. Apart from that, the next animated film related to Disney is Pixar’s Inside Out (releasing on 24th of July 2015). I am intrigued by the idea (personified emotions in people’s heads), but have no idea how Pixar will use it. I feel it would have more benefit as a short film, but I trust Pixar to do a good job as they haven’t done wrong with their films yet (with very slight exceptions for Cars 2 and Brave). I remember questioning Up when the teaser trailer first came out, but now it’s up there as one of the most popular Pixar, if not animated, films of all time. Will there be a sequel to Big Hero 6? There is a lot the Disney animators could do with this concept and I would love to see the characters and their world again (maybe other famous cities with Japanese aesthetics about them), but I feel like Disney and Marvel are already rolling in the money with their superhero films, and should maybe let DC Comics take the floor for a while. Big Hero 6 is absolutely fine on its own, and if they were to make a sequel it should be worth it and not just for cash. The two directors (Don Hall and Chris Williams) are still recovering from their hard work on this film and haven’t talked about a sequel, but in Don mentioned, “we love these characters, and the thought of working with them again some day definitely has its appeal.” Fist bump – balalalala! In my last review I talked about video games (specifically Children of Men’s connection to The Last of Us) and I feel it’s appropriate in this review to include the video game franchise, Kingdom Hearts. A video game franchise that combines the characters from Square Enix games like Final Fantasy and The World Ends With You, and the characters and worlds of Disney films like Lion King, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beauty and the Beast, Pirates of the Caribbean and Tron. There is much speculation as to what worlds/characters will feature in the next game in the series, Kingdom Hearts 3, with the possible inclusions of Wreck-it Ralph, Frozen, or even the Pixar, Star Wars, or Avenger films, but I would like to talk about Big Hero 6 as a valid candidate. Big Hero 6 I think would be brilliant, not just for the modern and varied characters, enticing storyline or its beautiful visual appearance, but I think the exploration/side missions could be great in San Fransokyo! After completing the world’s main storyline, you could pair up with different members of Big Hero 6 and do heroic work through the streets of the city. To date none of the 3D Disney animation (except Chicken Little’s character as a summon) have featured in Kingdom Hearts, so will be interesting to see how they adapt to the game’s look. The two remastered games of Kingdom Hearts (1.5 HD ReMIX and 2.5 HD ReMIX) are available to buy for PlayStation 3. Kingdom Hearts 3 has been highly anticipated for many years and there still isn’t a release date, but I reckon it will release during the first half of 2017 (my opinion, not fact!). Well that’s it for another review! Big Hero 6 was another triumph and has merited the title of “Classic Disney animation” for it’s beautiful visuals, interesting and action-packed storyline, great characters, and it’s typical Disney lessons. Feast was good, but hasn’t become my favourite short film. Kingdom Hearts is a great video game franchise; give it a try. And the Premier Cinema was fine; sound, seats and picture quality was good. Before I go, I shall leave a clue for my next review: there are no strings on me! And on that bomb-shell, I hope you are satisfied with your care.

Whenever I hear about a Kingdom Hearts reboot,I cringe a bit. To me,rebooting the series would essentially mean erasing everything that transpired in the series,and all the hardships and troubles the characters faced would mean nothing,and that all the work the developers put into the series would be worthless. It also wouldn't be the same. I don't want to start all over from the beginning and go through stuff I already know from a reboot perspective! I don't want to hear someone else as Sora. I don't want to hear someone else as Kairi. Also,Kingdom Hearts 3 hasn't even been released yet!!! We are close to the finale of the Xehanort Saga,and we are about to give Xehanort what he deserves,and a reboot would not only cancel KH3,it would also leave the series on a cliffhanger. It would leave the characters that are lost in darkness have no chance of being saved. It would also make fans very disappointed! I hope people agree with me on this...I hope people agree with me that it's too late for a reboot...

I love kingdom hearts so I dont want it to end so do you guys think this will be the end?

So I have be thinking about the story of Kingdom hearts and I actually don't exactly understand what exactly Kingdom Hearts is or where it is. I mean I know it's made of the hearts of the worlds and also sometimes the hearts of people or heartless, but that's it, is Kingdom Hearts one thing or is it multiple. Because in BBS Xehanort revealed one, but it disappeared and then in Kingdom Hearts 1 another one is revealed inside the DTD, but was that the same one as the one in BBS or a different one, and if different how was it made. Also there was a completely different one in KH2 that was made from people and if you can just make a Kingdom Hearts out of peoples hearts why doesn't Xehanort do that again instead of this other silly plan to have the lights and darkness fight each other. As you can tell I am ultimately very confused by this and if someone could shed some light (no pun intended) that would be helpful.

Kinda late on this because I haven't checked until today, but here's yet another beautiful rendition of Dearly Beloved by Kyle Landry.

In the years before the First Keyblade War the worlds existed as one whole world one bright shining star filled with light no darkness in site everyday the light of kingdom hearts filled the world and everyone was happy as the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts the wielder of the X-Blade watched over all no Keyblade's were needed no Keyblade but the X-Blade existed peace prospered but Peace can't last forever. The one true World has existed for hundreds and hundreds of years, generations have lived out there lives in peace never knowing or seeing war but now it is finally coming to an end the last generation who could ever say that is meeting its end as the Generation that shall give birth to War step into the light and darkness is born. The Guardian of Kingdom Hearts has had enough and his time to step forth and purify the world is here. Is there anyway to stop a God of Light with his eye's set on the destruction of the human race only time will tell. Rules Basic KH13 Rules apply No God modding (I'll be breaking this rule myself fairly on but you'll see why later it's for the greater good i swear) No taking over other people's characters without there permission you can hit and slightly injure one another but don't be doing one hit KO's No Killing other peoples characters without there permission This is a war like Roleplay so we can gore swearing and a little sexual friction between characters just don't go over board All posts must be at least 3 lines long I take this rule seriously any posts under the required amount will be ignored You can have from 1 to 5 characters don't take that as you have to have lots of characters if your happy with 1 character fine with me If you have any questions or problems please come to me I'll help out best i can and do my best to be as fair as possible No Keyblades at the start of the Rp it's all related to the Plot and will be explained later No Characters who appear in the Kingdom Hearts series are to appear in this rp that includes Disney and Final Fantasy although Disney and Final Fantasy character not seen in Kingdom Hearts can appear in this Roleplay There is only one world it's known as True World but worlds from kingdom hearts can be referenced as countries and so on Sign Up and Discussion thread http://kh13.com/forum/topic/81820-kingdom-hearts-before-the-war-sign-up-and-discussion/ Remember people its rare i ever close sign ups so feel free to suggest this roleplay to others any time and remember any conversations or problems keep them to the discussion thread and any fights I'll deal with. Plot Line One: Alright everyone for the first major plot point I'd just like everyone to take care of there character introduction once they have been done I'll move onto the main point of the story you can have characters meet up with each other early on if you want but i don't need everyone together for the first plot point if you want to make your character a bit of a loner for a while haha alright then let the Roleplay begin. IC: Wrapped in warm clothing with his arms wrapped around himself Tristan walked along a path on a snowy mountain in Land of Dragons "Geez why did i take this path it freezing" rubbing up and down along both his arms to try and warm himself up "I guess there's no helping it really considering i did take that request to find that rare flower that's said to grow on this mountain but geez that flower better make some dam good medicine or I'm freezing my ass for nothing here"

Having just heard about the death of Leonard Nimoy, all I can say is that he lived long and prospered.This year has seen the deaths of both Chikao Ōtsuka and Leonard Nimoy, and while Master Xehanort may not have been one of the greatest people in the world, these two men who provided his voice sure were. Tumblr. dA.

While the others were freeing Hearts, Yen was freeing heads!

So, as most of us should all know, all the Organization members have names that are scrambled version of there old names with X's HOWEVER A handful of the Organization members have names that are never told within the KH games, so lets try to guess them :DD The members with unknown names are these guys & girl : Luxord Demyx Larxene Marluxia Put the name of the member your guessing before your guess please
