Disney:
Lilo & Stitch
Okay, I know that's just wishful thinking and you can feel free to disagree with what I say about the film appearing as a world in the series, but at the same time I'm not overhyping myself and demand this film to appear.
Personally, there is so much they can have with the film as not only will it expand the
Lilo & Stitch world and include the island of Hawaii for the first time, but they could apply some mini-games for that world to make it unique (e.g. surfing, fire dancing, Hula dancing, Ukelele rhythm game) and the themes of the film do match the KH plot (e.g. Ohana, Friendship, "Nobody get's left Behind). In addition, Stitch could just be like Simba and Mushu back in
Kingdom Hearts II as they started off as summons in the first Kingdom Hearts game and Chain of Memories before appearing in their respective homeworlds in
II. Lastly, it could tie into Stitch story's in the KH plot, having either Aqua or Terra as the Seeker of Darkness in this world given that he previously met them along with Ven 11 years ago in the Galactic Federation Spaceship back in BBS.
I agree I doubt we'll get an actual
Lilo & Stitch world and I won't be disappointed if it isn't a world in the game given from what I have seen from the vast majority of you and remaining far-fetched that the film:
- Doesn't have much potential as a world
- It's based on an actual modern setting (Hawaii) devoid of fantasy/Sci-Fi elements
- No real conflict in the film until the film's climax
- The themes for the film might not fit with Kingdom Hearts III's themes and the Kingdom Hearts narrative.
- Contradicts' Stitch current residence
- Too similar to Pirates of the Caribbean (of course we will be mostly at seas in this world but still) and Destiny Islands.
- "Japan hating on Lilo" issue.
It is what it is.
Original World: ???
Can't decide but I wouldn't mind Seeing Daybreak Town or Kingdom Hearts as an actual world.
Although I loved the film and be a nice replacement for Nightmare Before Christmas as the Stop-Motion world and have it go into different territories, I'm going to flat out be realistic that I don't think we will be getting
James and the Giant Peach, in
III or in any future games due to the fact that the film is an adaptation of a book and that requires having Nomura and his team to ask permission not just from Disney but also the Roald Dahl estate (the family/relatives of Roald Dahl, the author who written the original book) which I don't think they will be pleased nor will they allow SDG in the worlds based on the film adaptations inspired on the author's work.
