Lost Kingdom Hearts Animated Series Unfinished Pilot Appears Online
The long considered lost Kingdom Hearts animated series pilot has been uploaded to YouTube. Kingdom Hearts has always been one of media's strangest crossovers, bringing the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney together with a cast of original, Tetsuya Nomura-designed characters. This fusion has helped the series achieve major success over the years, which at one point almost led to an animated series that could have aired alongside beloved Disney Channel shows like Kim Possible and Lizzie McGuire. Now, after 20 years, the pilot for the canceled Kingdom Hearts animated series has appeared online, giving fans an idea of how it might have looked.

According to Kearsley at the time, Disney canceled that project for being «too dark,» however it was not revealed until recently that Keasley was in possession of a full unfinished pilot for the series and was preparing to release it for the project's 20th anniversary.
