REALLY hoping that was an honest mistake, because if not, that really sucks. Something like this happened a while back with that Nickelodeon Tennis game, but thankfully that had a happier ending to it.
Most likely.
People tend to underestimate just how easily some intern can look for images to reference and mistake fanart for the real deal. Remember that Sonia the Hedgehog fanart in Sonic & Sega AST?
Still, youâd think thereâd be some kind of protocol to prevent that exact scenario by now.

Isn't that the point? Sora got bootlegged which is what the fan art is, I guess.
What does that have to do with using fanart?
Evidently a way to explain it away. Parody is one of the best ways to get away with using a property, such as "A day with Spongebob Squarepants" if anyone is familiar with that story. The artist could just say "well, it's a bootleg factory, THE characters did it, not us".

While I havenât seen it yet, from what I understand, this is supposed to be taken off of Sora during the bootlegging process. Itâs supposed to be his actual hair, taken off a 2D Sora, of which thereâs plenty of official artwork.
Itâs not about it looking like fanart, but the fact that someone in the production team of the film either didnât check to see if it was official art or not as a best case scenario, or willingly stole someoneâs fanart to use in the movie at worst.
I canât speak for the original artist, but if I saw that my art was used in a production without my knowledge and they didnât ask me if they could use it, Iâd be pretty ticked off.

How can anyone even confirm this 100%? It just looks like Sora's hair. Which is what the fan artist was trying to replicate. I have no idea how people are just claiming that they stole it from a fan artist when I'm sure if I Google'd Sora, that fan art would be like on page 5 versus all other official artwork that comes up.
problem is it looks 1:1, I think the shading is similar too
Heck, Jimmy Neutron's hair is cropped straight from google

Thatâs the point. It comes across as nobody bothered to check. Heck, itâs happened before with other franchises too.
The aforementioned Nickelodeon Tennis thing, which again, thankfully had a happy ending to it and was a genuine mistake:
And in a more amusing case, someone just straight up took a YouTube thumbnail for a My Little Pony DVD back cover in the UK a few years ago.
As for confirmation that it was Sora fanart used in that shot:
I get that movies like these can be on a tight schedule to make assets and props, but it shouldnât be hard to ring the parent company, in this case either Disney or Square-Enix, and ask âhey, do you have any stock character art of Sora we can use for a quick shot?â instead of relying on Google as a quick-fix solution. Google can be a handy thing, but not for official art reference in an image search.

OK this is a good reference.
If I type into Google "Angry Danny Phantom", the second picture that comes up is what was used.
If I type "Sora Kingdom Hearts" or "Sora Fan Art" the allegedly stolen fan art doesn't even come up for pages.
With that said, the only conclusions that can be made are:
1. The work wasn't stolen since Sora's hair is Sora's hair and looks the same most of the time (unlike the Danny Phantom one which uses his face as well).
2. People actually believe that a multimillion dollar film went out specifically looking for that fan art and stole it. I say that because I have to LOOK for that picture.
Which one is more likely? It's insane to think that people will jump to "DISNEY stole from me!" when they were trying to recreate Sora's hair anyway.

I see your points, and at the end of the day fan art is a muddy grey area when it comes to legality.
As much as I wish it was simple, it never is.

Nothing ever is simple and clean in this world, contrary to what we all are familiar with.

IF the fan art was actually stolen, then I do think someone should acknowledge them.
However, in this case, I think it is a long shot that specific piece was stolen. I honestly feel like it was someone trying to get clout off of what should have been a joyous cameo in a film.
