Today SQUARE ENIX® and Disney unveiled a new KINGDOM HEARTS III trailer that shines a spotlight on the first world in the KINGDOM HEARTS series to be based on a Disney•Pixar film, “Toy Story.” Director of the KINGDOM HEARTS series, Tetsuya Nomura, premiered the trailer during The Walt Disney Company’s Video Game Showcase at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.

It looks exactly like the movie, holy shit.

Buzz and Woody are both guest party at once.

 

[VoidGear.]

I'm amazed at how amazing the disney characters look (Soar, Dolan and Gooby are good, too) and then there's ugly-as-fuck-Xehanort and I'm crying my eyes out laughing. xD

I loved the world tho.

 

[gosoxtim]

nomura got his wish after how many years sine the first kh game

 

[OathkeeperRoxas XIII]

I'm going to say the Toy Story world sets between two and three, but that's I think but it's awesome both Woody and Buzz are party members

 

[Muke]

This was really amazing.

I nearly choked when I first saw andys room lmao. The guys from Pixar seemed completely onboard with the idea.. and the models look amazing. They really do look like they came straight from the movie! That being said, young xehanort looked a bit off at the end. It's like his eyes are spaced a little too far apart imo

 

[BluePikmin11]

I did not see this coming, this world was not even in my predictions list that I posted last year.

The possibilities of Pixar worlds have multiplied, which films though?I want to see INSIDE OUT!

When will the English dubbed trailers come out though, I wanna see if the original voices for Toy Story come back!

If this game is coming out in 2018, then I feel I wanna bring my prediction game back for everyone to speculate again!

[Sora2016]

So, I'm so excited there are more than one party member being added at once lol. But I wish I could you know actually see them fight ha. Since Sora is doing like 20 spins in the air at all times I can never see them. I kind of feel they may not have fully programmed their AI though? They seem rather stagnant at times. Hope Woody uses his lasso and Buzz uses his laser.

This was really amazing.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]Okay, so the guns are shooting arrows that have hearts at the end like feathers. That's adorable. Also the outfit for the change looks nicer than the Shield one for sure.[/FONT]

The character models for the Toy Story characters blew me away! I can't believe how good they look! It really makes me wonder how the Big Hero 6 and Tangled characters are gonna look (it's disappointing we didn't get to see them this time, but the Toy Story reveal and release year was more than enough). So happy Nomura finally gets to put the world in a KH game, and it looks fantastic!

So was Young Xehanort an action figure at the end? He looked kind of stiff and plastic.

I don't think so lol, he just looked that way ha.

well yeah conider sora in toy story

 

[Precursor Mar]

So was Young Xehanort an action figure at the end? He looked kind of stiff and plastic.

Judging by the dialogue and camera angles, I'm pretty sure he's a regular sized human.

 

[Rydgea]

A team of five, SDG & Buzz & Woody - unprecedented in KH, but very FFIV of them~ <3

My heart swells at this glorious news. *u*

I think it's just lighting and texture work that needs to be touched up a bit. I agree he looked off though. Kind of like Xemnas and Ansem at the end of the Orchestra trailer.

 

[Borjalyokox]

Okay, I didn't expect something THIS COOL. I'm so excited, especially now we know the year! Everything looks fantastic, those graphics are awesome, but...

Young Xehanort face looks derp af. I mean, his face looks like one of those funny rpg characters you create:

 

[FudgemintGuardian]

Oh hey, the site's working again. XD

The very second the cutscene started playing, I knew and was in tears happy that Toy Story has finally made it into the series. I'm just, LOOK AT THEM!! THEY LOOK JUST AS GOOD AS THE IN THE MOVIES!!

And then Young Xehanort appears at the end and I'm just laughing at how odd he looks.

Also, the place Sora is fighting the boss in the Hercules part is Thebes, isn't it? Please tell me were finally going to Thebes!
