That’s actually kinda neat. Maybe working on that pilot is what let to him getting the role. Apparently, if Wikipedia is accurate, he also played some additional voices in The Jungle Book 2, where HJO played Mowgli and Mae Whitman was Shanti.

It’s most likely that Square and Disney were pulling from a similar talent pool at the time, but I think that’s a pretty neat unintentional connection

Oh, wow. I could sort of picture Vaan's VA playing Sora.
Same! When I first learned about it I realised that they both could kinda effortlessly pass for the other on certain line, particularly KH2 Sora and Vaan imo.

And that's all without even trying haha

Video games are hard to adapt because storytelling tends to be secondary or seperate. Even games with stories tend to feel disjointed or padded out. So you'd have to reassess what to keep/cut etc.

I'd say a new cast and story like the Mandalorian would be best. Most casual fans tend to find the Xehanort stuff off-putting so moving away from it would be advisable. You could reintroduce it later but try something new for the first impression.

You could do some fun pairings like Aqua with Webby or Ven with Oswald etc.

Yes, he was the ADR actor for HJO. In films, when you can't get an actor back for a reshoot or pickup, a soundalike will dub over for them. He was that for The Jungle Book

Makes sense. I remember Josh Keaton talking about that before on a Voltron after show podcast.
While his main role on the show was Black Lion pilot Shiro, he also did ADR for one of the shopkeepers in the Season 2 episode “Space Mall”.

And of course, a more known use of ADR is foreign language dubbing, be it animation or live action drama for audiences overseas or foreign shows getting brought to English speaking audiences to be dubbed.

On the off chance that this is still happening, my last hope for a reveal is this being a surprise announcement
at Jump Festa in tandem with any KH IV or Missing Link news if either of those titles show up there this year.

I guess anything could happen at this point if it is still in development.

He’s been wrong before, but he definitely has legit sources and scoops. I think the timing makes sense with KH4 on the horizon to catch people up. And I’m sure Disney wants in on the success recent video game adaptions have had.

I mean, without sources or more information it's just an educated guess that I could make myself.

But if it's real, please be an adaptation of Union X or a new canon story. If it's KH1 I'm not interested.

But whatever it is, it better be good and get more people interested in playing the games.

Leakers/scoopers like this don’t name their sources as that would put that source at risk of job loss, etc. It may still be bullshit, but just saying they won’t reveal their sources if it is real. Best thing to do is wait to see if any other scoopers back up the claim.

I mean I'm down for whatever. I love KH as a video game first and foremost, so anything they do with it as a movie or series (that I am not forced to purchase) is no big shake for me. At best it'll be entertaining and capitalize on what's so good about KH, at worst it'll be boring expository 'information' tying into their latest failed phone game. Either way, I'll watch for the sex scenes.

RPK coulda had somethin related to the actual games like the Sonic thing but nah it's just this stupid Disney+ thing again
Someone on Reddit said he also claimed KH4 is releasing next year on his Patreon. But good luck to anyone who wants to pay to verify that information.
