You know how a long time ago we all wanted a Kingdom Hearts movie? (Sarcasm) Well, for one thing, it isn't happening. Secondly, there's a good reason: it would blow chunks.
But, for those who still want it, there's an interesting little movie coming out from Disney called "Magic Kingdom."
The first paragraph on this article explains.
ROTTEN TOMATOES: Weekly Ketchup: Mickey Mouse to meet Jack Sparrow?
For those who are too lazy, here's the description itself:
MAGIC KINGDOM: MICKEY MOUSE, JACK SPARROW & SNOW WHITE, TOGETHER AT LAST?
In 2002, Disney teamed up with Square Enix (the videogame company behind the popular Final Fantasy franchise) for Kingdom Hearts, the first in a new franchise of role-playing games that teamed up classic Disney characters with Final Fantasy characters. Now, the studio has announced plans for Magic Kingdom, a movie project that would do something similar for Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, the various "Princess" characters and other favorites from their many movies and theme park attractions. And the somewhat bizarro theme that they would unite them is the idea of Magic Kingdom being like the Disney version of Marvel's The Avengers or DC's Justice League of America. It should definitely be mentioned that Marvel Studios is now under the corporate aegis of Disney, so it's easy to see a corporate synchronicity there as well. The original Magic Kingdom script was written by Ronald D. Moore, creator of the TV shows Battlestar Galactica and Caprica (Moore also cowrote Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact), and took place at Disneyland. Disney reportedly considers Magic Kingdom a "low priority" (meaning it's probably a few years from happening), but the studio is currently looking for a new writer to build upon Moore's original script. Other upcoming Disney movies that may tie into Magic Kingdom (or not) include Cinderella, Guillermo del Toro's The Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise and Tomorrowland movies, Maleficent, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White and the Seven.
Discuss. Personally I think it's going to be terrible. Meanwhile in the comments, everyones raving about how terrible Kingdom Hearts is.
