Oh yeah, let's remove the gameplay and keep the cringy dialogues and put it on a platform of people who have no idea what this is. Best way to get good reviews.
For real though if it followed the manga I'd be fine with it.
If it tries to do its own thing, I somewhat expect full Disney meddling to occur. Which leads me to think "Oh God, what if it turns out like Arendelle?".
Idk you guys, this line of reasoning feels reductive and limiting. First of all, assuming this is real, we have no idea if it's a Japanese or American production. If it's American, you can expect vastly different dialogue and tone from the games. If the premise is 'Sora, Donald, and Goofy go to Disney worlds and have adventures' then it's basically just an opportunity to crack jokes in different iconic settings with iconic characters.
I'd rather it try to do its own thing and fail than retread the manga. And on the subject of 'Disney Meddling', there are plenty of Disney animated tv shows that are fine, great even. Disney's tv exploits have all been extremely creator driven, even tv shows based on their movies, like
Tangled. This narrative that Disney gets in KH's way is so infrequently true.
Yeah, Arendelle was a bust, but it still had its own inspired touches, like characterizing Marshmallow and letting him come along. Frankly, while the rules were tighter for
Frozen than any other property they've ever used, I find it hard to believe that it's all Disney's fault. I'm sure Nomura and crew could have come up with something better for Arendelle than what we got.
I think we have to remember that KH's most clumsy and awkward moments come when there are 0 Disney characters on screen. "You're awful, Aqua!" "'I'm me', he says" "You and Kairi smell the same" "You could say I'm the greatest nobody of them all" "Darkness within darkness awaits you" "That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers" and other brilliant pieces of dialogue all came from the KH-specific stuff.
KH3 ReMinded us that Sora, Donald, and Goofy can have genuinely light and entertaining dialogue and bounce off each other well, especially when the three of them are interacting with new characters and settings. Sora's gung-ho, Donald's cranky and apprehensive, and Goofy's thoughtful and a little slow. It's an easy and classic setup for a cartoon, if that's all it's gonna be, and if it allows us to hear familiar voices and see familiar faces from classic Disney properties, it's a net win for fans of Disney too.
