I saw this at RPG fan:

During a press conference held at the Games Convention 2003 in the east German city of Leipzig, Disney consumer product chairman Andy Mooney apparently confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 2 was indeed in development at Square Enix. This would be the first official confirmation following months of relative silence and uncertainty regarding a sequel to the highly popular collaboration between Disney and Square, which has sold more than 3.3 million copies worldwide to date. So far, Square Enix president Youichi Wada, while expressing his intention to turn Kingdom Hearts into a blockbuster series a la Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, had repeatedly mentioned negotiations with Disney were ongoing. Asked about a sequel to his hit title, character designer and director Tetsuya Nomura was even more tight-lipped a few months ago. According to Mooney, the company will officially unveil the title at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.

And I saw this at Anime News Network:

As part of its opening marketing blitz for the PS2 game Kingdom Hearts 2, Disney announced it would produce a Kingdom Hearts animation. There is no word on where the show will see production, but there are signs that it would be made for worldwide consumption. More information should come to light at the Tokyo Game Show in September.

Not to mention the Magic Box said that the latest issue of V Jump mentioned a new surprise SE title to be at TGS. So. it's pretty safe to say we'll hear something about KH2. I know word on a KH movie or series has been circulating for a while now, maybe it's been in rough planning stages and is finally in development?

Thoughts?

Disney's really doing a KH animation project? That's rather an unusual thing for a company that just laid off all its 2D animation departments to be doing.

Unless.......

Well, actually I wouldn't be surprised if it was 3D CGI. Not surprised, but... >_<

KH is a great game. Disney Animating it will suck. They will ignore the dark storyline and make it straight up for kids. Just wait until the introduce Hearty Heart, the cute little Teddy Bear who joins the trio whose signature line is, "I wuv you, Sowa!"

I hope Disney makes me eat these words. They've done great things in the past, well, mostly when Walt was alive and they weren't all about making money.

Perhaps Disney can take this oppurtunity to officially marry Mickey and Minnie since they are king and queen, at least.

Your right as long as we keep in mind the suaresoft par, like : character design, the dark story of the key blade and the heavy dark felling you can feel in the secret ending or in deep dive....

But when it comes to goofy's laugh, the spitid mikey at the end are the "nice'n sweet'n no violency in disney word",....Bleh!!!!!!
that ruin the game!! give me a serious KH with a nice a serious story a la Chrono cross/Xenogear.

And Can disney sty in the animation world and leave video games to those who knows how make it!!!!
If they wish a Disney game, they should do it themselves and to not trash the squaresoft "Cast/world"..........

Okay, in all seriousness you can't think that Disney is all smiles and sunshine if you've actually seen a decent amount of Disney movies.

Take the Lion King for example: there was death and hints of homosexuality. On the surface Disney movies may seem "kiddy", but if you really pay attention you end up knowing better.

Of course, this isn't the case with all Disney movies (especially the older ones)....

Lion King is a huge rip off of the old Anime Osamu Tezuka's Jungle Emperor Leo AKA Kimba the White Lion. Of course it has dark tones, it's stolen from an Anime. Please leave it out of the conversation.

It's kind of funny how in KH the entire Lion King World is destroyed and Simba is the only survivor! Sweet revenge I tell you for Lion King ripping off Anime! Hakuna Mutata that!

Lion King had homosexuality in it? O_o Ugh. I don't even wanna know. >_<

Yeah,like them or not,Disney's given us plenty of good memories. I'm not gonna hate on them just yet. Can't go wrong with Stitch!

And going back to the topic. I'm excited of finally hearing about this. I really really enjoyed the first one.

Oh dear God, let's not go into the Lion King/Kimba thing here. In any case, Malificent was in KH, which makes it great (because Sleeping Beauty is my all time favorite Disney animated movie).

Well yeah, really. Originally Disney was going to include a scene were the two were going to sing "Can you feel the love tonight?" to each other. Disney axed it in the end, but it came close to happening. And though this next fact has a little less bearing on it, Timon's voice actor was himself gay.

Yeah,I kind of figured Nathan Lane was gay. Seeing him snog Austin Powers like mad in Goldmember gave it away. (the disco scene)

Heh,well moving on. Stitch is cool.
