People seem to be a bit confused over the validity of Space Paranoids and the Grid's status as real worlds. They doubt the worlds being real because they take place within a computer program, but it is impossible to say they are not real based on that idea. The Kingdom Hearts series is filled with illogical circumstances that require us to suspend our disbelief frequently, and if something like how "real" a world that takes place ...

KH1 Animation Director Tatsuya Kando had counted the total number of animations used in the game, including those that were cut with unused event scenes, reaching a total of almost 8000. He refers to these animations as "animations of the heart".

Haley Joel Osment, voice actor of Sora in the Kingdom Hearts series, has done work in various movies throughout his career. One of the more popular movies he has appeared in is Artificial Intelligence, a 2001 science fiction drama where HJO plays a human child-like android with the ability to love.

Shinji Hashimoto and a Disney employee was speaking together in that same room, and the Disney employee liked the idea, and proceeded to suggest the use of Disney characters that are known worldwide because they're stylized.

Popular British actor Tom Felton, well known for his role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, is seen posing with vvmasterdrfan at Dragon Con 2009, posing with the fan's handmade Bond of Flame Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts II. He did not however, know what Kingdom Hearts or Keyblades are.

During the early development of Kingdom Hearts II, the final battle against Xemnas was planned much differently than the one that we all know. Xemnas was to meld with The World That Never Was after absorbing power from Kingdom Hearts and become a Transformer-like creature. After you defeated him once, he would transform into a much more distorted version of this creature.
