Wrong. They bought Pixar, abc, and ESPN. Also they didn't just buy Star Wars they bought lucasfilm. Many of the stories Disney has made over the years were NOT public domain. They had to pay for the rights from the authors.

Me too. It is my favorite.
Could we potentially have The Fonz, Doogie Howser, Tim Taylor, Castle and MacGyver along with Guybrush Threepwood and Manny Calavera too? Holy shit lol!

To my knowledge, Disney now owns all of the assets of Lucasfilm including all Lucasarts non Star Wars IPs.
Now would they actually use Grimm Fandango is a different issue entirely.

That just t ells us KH3 is still in the planning phase right now and it still take years.
:'( They have to realize they have to be quick to get things right and with the Hype, nobody will care for a Frozen world in 2017 when Frozen 2 is already out and Frozen still not has a classic status.

After Tron and PotC, this was obvious...but it's good to have clarification.
Pixar is the big one though, is that allowed?

What about the Muppets? Disney owns that, too.
I just want to see Sora interact with the Swedish Chef, is that too much to ask?
EDIT: As mentioned above, they also own ESPN. Hopefully this means that the main villain is Skip Bayless.

wot 'bout pixar
Star-Lord, man! The legendary outlaw?
I didn't know that, sorry.
Still, i was more talking about Iron Man/Spidey/Avengers/GotG/Star Wars, which would all clash really bad with KH setting imho, while BH6 has a more disney fell to it which would make it more apt to be in game..

They're not going to outright confirm or deny new worlds via some random interview, but I think Frozen is guaranteed. Marvel is a maybe, and Star Wars... eh, at the rate Square is going, Episode 7 will be old news by the time Kingdom Hearts III is out.

Star Wars (New Movie - Series gains attention again)
Frozen (Push sales - all those little Girls)
Toy Story (Great Gameplay ideas - extremely popular)
Monsters, Inc. (Would fit into the story - Scared - Heartless)
Nemo (a new waterworld - instead of Arielle)
Tinkerbell (instead of Peter Pan)
A Marvel World
I think there will be a high variety of different Worlds to attract as many fans,costumers and children/families as possible.
Also the Worlds have to make sense in terms of Gameply and Story
For me Toy Story is a must Have - I want that world by all means.

Star Wars would work is the "world" is presented a la Monstro or Neverland in KH1.
The more I think about it, the more I want a Jungle Book world like the Atlantica world in KH2.

Sorry, just because Disney has deep pockets to buy these franchises doesn't mean they should be in Kingdom Hearts.

Here's how we make a Marvel world work.
Instead of trying to figure out what to implement from decades upon decades of comic books,have it somewhat follow the original Avengers film.
However, instead of the Tesseract summoning Chitauri, have it summon Heartless. Loki is still the main villain. Can't fit the whole movie? Well, Kingdom Hearts II allowed you to come back to every world later on if I remember correctly, for a "second episode" of story.
I remember Nomura saying something about how in this game, characters that may have previously only inhabited the world or been bystanders will join in the fight. This is a great thing. This means you can still have Sora, Donald and Goofy, but with the Avengers appearing in massive set piece battles (just like in the film) and possibly even randomly within the world, alone or as a group, if you happen to be near them.
Do we need a moral, like Kingdom Hearts I actually did very well with so many Disney worlds? Well, I'm sure there's plenty to be had, especially in interactions Sora could have with Captain America. Sora is fighting with older, more experienced heroes who could easily offer him some wisdom.
What's that, you say? It would be weird to have New York City in Kingdom Hearts? And a guy named Captain America? Let's not forget flying around Big Ben in Kingdom Hearts I and Wendy actually referring to London! And in Kingdom Hearts II, even though Mulan's world is called The Land of Dragons, the Emperor tells her she saved China.
In the Avengers film, towards the end of the battle of New York, the heroes are completely exhausted and the tide starts to turn against them. You could easily portray this as even though they're capable of defeating countless Heartless, they don't have a Keyblade to seal the world and thus the Heartless keep coming, eventually wearing on them.
Live action wouldn't be weird, considering we had Pirates and Tron. There's already a precedent. And while Pirates is debatable (although I liked it), I've never heard anyone complain about Tron's implementation.
There's also a ton of potential for weapons to be gained in this world. Obviously Cap's shield for Goofy, but you could have a Mjolnir staff for Donald and Iron Man could offer to make some "upgrade" to Sora's Keyblade, which would give him a keychain. Characters in Disney worlds have given Sora keychains as presents.
And lastly, if you can't get the actors from the film to do the voices, just use the VAs from the current cartoons. The cartoons themselves may not be the greatest, but the voice actors are pretty damn swell.

Yeah you can't really have things like NYC in Kingdom Hearts.
The game falls flat on its face when it tries to portray cities because it never has many NPCs on screen at once. It made the Twilight Town and all the other cities look really dead.

Not saying I want NYC in KH, but are we still in the PS2 era? What makes you think they won't push NPC count on new hardware? C'mon man.

And I see where you're coming from with that. But those same comments Nomura made about characters within the world joining in battles, to me sounded like the worlds would be much more populated. As for enemies, there were a pretty decent amount on screen in that 1,000 Heartless battle in KH II, even if they weren't all there at once.
With how much more powerful the PS4 is than the PS2, it doesn't seem that out there to me to have a massive amount of enemies and a decent number of NPCs. If it wasn't for the fact that NYC is basically a war zone in The Avengers, I think it would be easy to implement civilian NPCs. You could still have civilians, although I guess they'd have to be removed from the action a bit so they're not getting killed constantly (and accidentally by Sora). Still, having the Avengers and even S.H.I.E.L.D Agents as NPCs, not that out there in a massive battle.

Sorry, including Marvel and Star Wars would ruin the series for me. KH has always featured Disney CREATED characters, not ones they bought. Star Wars and Marvel would just be out of place for me. There's plenty of new worlds they can put in like Frozen, Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph. Hell, I'd love to see a Phineas and Ferb or Gravity Falls world.
Pirates of the Carribean is just as, if not more out of place in the KH world than any marvel stuff.
Kingdom Hearts has always been about being "too much". That's why it's so successful.

Presumably if Star Wars and Marvel are candidates, then the LucasArts stuff likely is too. So I'll be pretty mad if we don't get a Wreck it Ralph world populated by Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and Maniac Mansion characters/minigames. Heck use the opportunity to visit other SE/Eidos series like Tomb Raider and Dragon Quest too.
This is what i care about. Star wars and marvel can wait, wheres my muppets?

I'm interested in KH again. Fancy that.
Goofy: "Hey Sora, this river is mighty dangerous HYUCK!"
Donald: "Keept paddling! We're about to hit...BLEGH!"
Goofy: "MMM, is this cherry gummy syrup..."
Donald: "THIS IS BLOOD! NOT GUMMY SYRUP YOU DUMMY!"

In all seriousness though I think they should explore more disney franchises then throwing in something marvel/star wars. I'd like the game to keep somewhat close to what it originally was and not just become a theme park for multiple new franchises disney more recently bought. With that said no Lightning. I can't emphasize that enough. Knowing Square they'll probably make her a companion. Hell she may take over halfway in and the games titled of Final Fantasy Xiii-4 will overlay the screen notifying you of the switch. Also more Agrabah I want to see the sand modeled in the new engine!
They could have easily populated the levels in the PS2 era and they didn't, even in late PS2-lifetime (2006), and you know it could have handled at least SOME life in the urban scenes because of the heartless fights that had so many enemies on screen at once.
Every single world is almost creepy in how barren it is. Why the fuck aren't there people in Agrabah even though I've visited it so many times??

I'll never understand the people who say Star Wars of all things wouldn't fit KH.
Gummi Ships, Xemnas's lightsabers, darkness/light = dark side/light side, Star Wars would fit almost too well into Kingdom Hearts.
