I reading a little on the Disney/Final Fantasy crossover game Final Fantasy II the other day, and I got to thinking about some of the disperate Disney movies they’ve used, so far—including Pirates of the Carribean, Tron, and Nightmare Before Christmas.
That, naturally, lead me to think of some of the Disney properties that we’re probably never going to see in Kingdom Hearts sequel. Maybe it’s because they weren’t a financial success. Maybe because they have artistic elements that wouldn’t translate very well. Maybe it’s because they’d give kids nightmares.
A few that I thought of:
•Der Fuehrer’s Face (Having more Swastikas per-square-meter than a Wolfenstein game wouldn’t help anything, but the grotesque Tojo-charicature who claims to be merely misunderstood and willing to put the past behind him would be the deal breaker.)
•Chip’n’Dale’s Rescue Rangers (Not because it’s bad, oddly enough)
•Song of the South
•The Black Hole (The ending, however, would seem oddly appropriate for a Japanese game.)
•Watcher in the Woods (Anyone else remember this one? Or at least the previews they had in all of those old Disney videos, with the girl’s ghostly, blindfolded apparitions appearing in mirrors? C’mon, I can’t be the ONLY one that got that burned into their fragile little mind as a kid.)
Donald and his nephews are in both, Scrooge is in this one. But they all come from Mickey’s kingdom. I suppose a version of those towns could exist there but we’ve never gone outside the castle to see. Well, we sort of did and it didn’t exist back then.
Gummis exist as these foam like pieces you can make space ships out of. They appeared as meteorites so probably didn’t come from a Gummi homeworld.
Will Kim Possible be in it?
I think not, as it’s sucess came in spite of the traditional corporate decision-making process, not because of that process.
