Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

[Rocker]

This is just my idea: What if Fantasmic! was reinvented, and transformed into a Kingdom Hearts epic special effects spectacular?

i know my husband would want to come more than once a year. =P

it'd be interesting... not entirely sure how it would work out though.

Quite possibly the best idea I've heard of in a long time!

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

One thing I like about it is that it would feature a lot more characters. Don't get me wrong, though - I loves me some villains!

[Rocker]

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

I know how it might work!

For example, Tom Sawyer Island could be transformed into Destiny Islands.

Secondly, in the Peter Pan sequence, have SOra duke it out with Captain Hook, and Peter battling the pirates to save Wendy.

Just some ideas...

Sounds purdey awesome would you happen to have any details or plot in mind?

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

I have a better idea, let the Disney studios in floriday have that show. I love me my Fantasmic CA version.

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

I have a couple plot ideas in mind:

Sora, the keybearer, is on search for his friends, and meets Goofy and Donald along the way, who are searching for King Mickey.

Along the way, they come to different worlds and duke it out with the Heartless and different villans from the Disney movies.

The climax is the battle of Sora, and Maleficent. But just as you thought the show was over (Surpirse!), Sora finds himself in the face of Ansem!

Another idea is to feature Organization XIII in the show's plot, but that would make the show too long.

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

Ew. No thanks.

[Rocker]

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

NO!?

The reasons I thought of this idea was that:

1. Fantasmic is almost 15 years old, and it starting to show it's age.

2. Kingdom Hearts has been such a runaway success, and you never see any of the characters in the park.

3. Disney should try something new!

Of all the ideas ever posted for upgrades/replacements to F!, this is quite possibly the best. It is a storyline that has some serious potential. Kingdom Hearts includes all of the heros and villains. Sort of a dreamlike idea similar to F!. Story, in essence, is about good vs. evil and though evil may be strong, good, and love will always triumph. Definitely has every possible character available. It has potential, but it would have to be incredibly well executed and absolutely rip-roaringly spectacular as well as able to tug those heart-strings (i.e. finale to F!) in order to even live up to the standard set by F!.

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

How about NO!

I say update fantasmic, add/change some scenes, but don't mess with it's premise!

You couldn't have said it better. One of the things that could tug heartstrings is when Sora tells Kairi he promises he'll return (kind of like the finale of Kingdom Hearts).

As for rip roaring, there could be an ambitious Heartless attack on Ton Sawyer Island with a stuntperson playing Sora, battling animatronic Heartless.

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

Fantasmic! is a sort of brand name among Disney nowadays. Each performance pulls in 10,000 people to the river front every time it shows... the changes Disney needs to make is in the "plussing" department. Effects realized to their full potential, additon of minor touches, but it's something so popular and from a different (IE NOT Light Magic) age that would be hard to duplicate.
Also, the infrastructure is vast and impossible to reverse.

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

Better yet, let DisneySeas work on that. Squaresoft is a Japanese company, to begin with.

[Rocker]

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

Hmm... Good Point about the infastructure.

However, it shouldn't be completely irreversible. I mean, hide the heartless where the dragon usually goes, and put the dragon on top.

[Rocker]

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

And if you do it in California, why not do it in Florida, and then create the spectacular on the lagoon of DisneySea Tokyo?

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

Honestly, the storyline of Kingdom Hearts is actually a very strong one, but I think that some adults may not identify with most of the characters. I know it's huge with kids and teenagers, and I know plenty of adults that would know the characters, but I don't see a large market identifying with a video game.

However, having Sora and other characters from Kingdom Hearts isn't crazy, especially if they found a way to incorporate the Heartless.

[Rocker]

Re: Kingdom Hearts taking place of Fantasmic!?

Does anybody have any ideas on how they can incorporate the Heartless? That was a good point one person just said.
