Kingdom Hearts Movie Is Reportedly A Mix Of Live-Action And CGI, Fans Unhappy
02.05.2024 - 11:39 / thegamer.com
The insider who originally reported that a Kingdom Hearts movie is in the works has now suggested that it's going to be a mix of live-action and CGI, which is exactly what fans didn't want.
Kingdom Hearts fans must feel like they all collectively made a wish on a monkey's paw. After spending the last few months begging for any kind of news on Kingdom Hearts 4 or even Missing Link, we've mostly been met with silence from Square Enix. Then, out of nowhere, a rumour that began in 2020 started making the rounds again, and it's not what fans were hoping for.
That rumour is that a Kingdom Hearts adaptation of some kind is currently in the works at Disney. At first, movie insider DanielRPK said that an adaptation was being worked on, with it being unclear whether it was a movie or a TV show. Then, a few days ago, it was followed up on by another insider who said it was a full-blown animated movie.
So far, so good, right? As much as no one was asking for a Kingdom Hearts movie, if Nomura is involved and it focuses on animation then it could end up being something quite special. Just as long as it doesn't try to do anything live-action, then most fans will be happy. Well, I hate to be the one to put a dampener on everyone's hopes and dreams, but that's reportedly what's happening.
Over on Twitter, the original insider who reported that a Kingdom Hearts adaptation was in development, DanielRPK, posted an update on the movie and suggested that it's going to mix live-action with CGI. It's not clear what parts of the movie are going to be CGI and what's going to be live-action, but I'm begging Disney to back away from making Sora, Riku, and Kairi into actual people.
Here's hoping that the live-action parts of the movie are just for some of the Disney characters that animated versions of Sora, Donald, and Goofy run into.
As you can probably imagine, this is exactly what a lot of fans were worried about, which has resulted in some very mixed opinions being shared online. Take popular Kingdom Hearts content creator thegamersjoint, for example, who responded to the rumour by simply posting a meme saying "no". I couldn't agree more.
Considering one insider reported that the Kingdom Hearts adaptation was going to be animated and DanielRPK is saying that it's a mix of live-action and CGI, it seems that there are some crossed wires on what the project actually is. For now, we have no idea what the final product is going to be, but I am praying that it's far more focused on animation than live-action.

At a Q&A after a recent press screening for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga at IMAX Headquarters outside of Los Angeles, Miller revealed that while the anime series eventually evolved into a live-action film, one small element survived from the defunct project, taken from early character sketches by Fury Road concept artist and anime stalwart Maeda.
