I’m trying to arrange a trip to NY for January...besides Nomura’s art, I want to see all of the cool art. And go to NYC, drive through the boroughs...

I always had a feeling Mickey was the true original exhibitionist.

Haha, you don't want to do that.

Haha, you don't want to do that.

Forgive me, I’m thinking like a Los Angeles girl. Ride the subway to a certain point and walk the rest of the way through maybe one or two boroughs then promptly leave the island to somewhere less busy.

I wonder if KH might get some recognition during Sunday’s broadcast of Mickey’s 90th birthday spectacular.

So it turns out it's a storyboard from the Re:coded Ultimania.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the promo.

I mean while it would have been nice, I don’t think anybody should have expected anything less. Kingdom Hearts just isn’t in the mainstream like that. They weren’t going to waste time in their multimillion dollar prime-time special to bring attention to it.

If it were closer to release, we probably would have gotten a commercial for it during the break but alas...

The most i was hoping for was something where they showed clips of Mickey across various forms of media or something. I think video games are the one form of media Disney doesn’t really have a solid grasp on though, so it isn’t surprising they didn’t show any video game versions of him. It probably would have thrown normies off too much. Lol
