This weekend in New Mexico is the Albuquerque Comic Con where a variety of industry guests are in attendance to discuss their work in comics, movies, television, animation, and more with fans. Forum user MATGSY happened upon the chance to talk to Jim Cummings, voice actor of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Pete, during his autograph session on Friday who apparently had a few interesting things to say about Kingdom Hearts 3.
When asked about the chance of Darkwing Duck appearing in Kingdom Hearts 3, Cummings had very little to say about it, but did say that Winnie the Pooh and Tigger would be in the upcoming game. Does this mean fans should be expecting a new 100 Acre Wood world to appear in Kingdom Hearts 3?
Update (1/9/2016): At Albuquerque Comic Con 2016 in New Mexico, Jim Cummings held a Q&A panel where he answered fans questions about his voice work, and forum user MATSGY had another chance to ask him about his work for the Kingdom Hearts series.
While he discussed his general recording work, Cummings discussed that they have to "paraphrase the original Japanese script" which can create challenges for them to record the dialogue, but voicing Tigger in this manner is "fun".
Although unbidden, Cummings also added that his part of recording for Kingdom Hearts 3 is already completed.
Please keep in mind that nothing about these characters nor a potential Winnie the Pooh world has been confirmed by Square Enix or Disney at this time, so please take this information with a grain of salt.
UPDATE: StephanieWorld has uploaded a video of the panel, which contains MATSGY asking his question to Jim Cummings at the 5:15 mark. The Kingdom Hearts III remark comes at 6:35. Thanks to Jgray123487 for linking the video to us!

(btw I hate reporting this kind of stuff and I didn't want to but somebody decided to post it on another forum and thus forced my hand before I could actually talk to MATGSY since he went to bed)
I`m all for 100 Acre Woods return. Bring on the Heffalump
Though I wonder if Square or Disney will come out and say anything about this now that this rumor has leaked online
Pooh confirmed for X
My word is a rumor: that's a new experience.
This isn't even a surprise for me. Lets be honest, Winnie The Pooh has always been in the main series games, plus, Kingdom Hearts has yet to represent Winnie The Pooh 2011. I think Jim Cummings leaking this news isn't as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.
Lol... I called it. XD Literraly posted a thread a few days back about Pooh's book returning and being plot relevant.
Still a rumor, but I'm intrigued.
If the world is not there I know one guy who'll be disappointed, this guy!
Especially now with the hole book of prophecy thing going on but I always loved that world either way.
After this trilogy is done I'm fine if they take the world away for good (or till KH VI) but I want to see it at least one more time.
Eh..never hated nor liked the world.I mean the mini-games were sorta fun and a nice distraction from fighting.
I'm just not creative enough to know how to improve winnie.I guess if they just added more exploration then it would be a lot more enjoyable to me.
Maybe Christopher robins could make an appearance too :O..but seems sora just took his place.
the 100 acre wood world was always one of my favorites, it offered a nice change from the main plot and i thought the mini-challenges were fun! I can definitely see Winnie and his gang in the upcoming game. I'd be rather bummed if i didn't.
I really want another 100 arc wood in KH3. It's just a part of the main Kingdom Hearts series for me, that I would miss.
