For future references 🌲 i will never address any of the Lark nor the Harkers with gendered terms in any of the songs, so if he or she gets mentioned that is specifically for another character, most likely a parent :~)

My Ideal Revival of the Disney Heroes Franchise
Tumblr media
What you’re looking at is the official logo for a now defunct franchise known as Disney Heroes.
Disney Heroes was basically meant to serve as the sister…..or more appropriately, the brother franchise of the Disney Princesses, with the focus being placed on the male heroes of the Disney pantheon.
Tumblr media
The franchise initially started back in 1999, but under the name of Disney Adventurers. Not only that, but the line-up was rather small, consisting of the titular protagonists of Hercules, Aladdin, Peter Pan, and their most recent film at the time, Tarzan.
The franchise mainly existed through toys, with some notable merchandising besides that here and there.
The franchise remained this way until about 2003, when it got a notable revamp.
The franchise would get its current name and it would expand the roster quite a bit. The new members included Merlin and Arthur from The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, and Li Shang from Mulan.
I also think Simba from The Lion King was a part of the roster as well, I think I remember seeing him on a backpack done for the franchise.
But in 2005, the Disney Heroes franchise had a another revamp…this one notably different from the previous ones.
Although the franchise mainly existed through toys and play-sets that more or less stayed faithful to their respective films, these however…..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your eyes are not deceiving you….these were actual action figures created and designed by Disney for the Disney Heroes franchise…..and I couldn’t be anymore happier.
Hercules looks like an ancient Greek warrior with the golden armor, plus he’s carrying a big xiphos and a golden shield with the face of a lion.
Peter Pan is now sporting some tan gloves, boots, and ever a mask, carrying a bow and quiver of arrows alongside his trusty dagger.
And Captain Hook has a more swashbuckling look, and his rapier has been replaced with a big ass cutlass!
Prince Phillip and Maleficent were also apart of this line-up of action figures as well.
Phillip had a more knight-like appearance, even having a helmet with a golden falcon on top.
And Maleficent…well, she was in her dragon form.
Sadly, only five action figures were made in this style….
And it’s a shame, given that there were plans to revamp the franchise with a more action-oriented style.
These designs by Disney animator Ruben Procopio for planned future figures for the franchise really highlight this…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aladdin was gonna look like an Arabian Knight, complete with a dagger and a huge ass scimitar that would make Cloud Strife impressed.
Tarzan was gonna go for a Conan the Barbarian-esque look, complete with a headband, a vest, a tooth necklace, boots, and even a quiver filled with spears, knives, and arrows.
And as you could see, they were even gonna introduce The Beast from Beauty and the Beast as a new member of a roster, with the appearance of a warrior prince and a mace as his weapon.
Unfortunately, these figures never came to be....
Although Disney Heroes franchise was doing decently fine, it was nowhere near the level of success of the Disney Princesses.
As a result of that, Disney slowly but surely phased out the franchise over the next three years.
By 2008, the Disney Heroes franchise silently ended, only merchandising through coloring books and their only new addition since 2003 being....of all characters....Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
So yeah....that's pretty much the story of the Disney Heroes franchise.
It's honestly a shame because I could totally see this franchise being pretty successful today.
And given the rise of nostalgia and crossovers in media over the last decade, I could see this being an absolute goldmine for all parties involved.
And today, I'm gonna share on how I think a revival of the Disney Heroes franchise should play out.
.It would aim more towards a older audience, mostly teenagers, similar to the Disney Villains franchise. It wouldn't really focus all that much on toys like the Disney Princesses, though there would be some figurines here and there, instead focusing on media that's more accessible with a older crowd like novels, comic books, video games, and even animation.
.Unlike it's previous iteration, and to that extension the Disney Princesses, it would be more gender-neutral, featuring male and female representatives of most of the represented films as members of the roster.
.Also unlike the Princesses, this franchise has its own backstory. Various Disney villains have joined forces in other to further their respective goals. In retaliation, a group of various Disney heroes, led by Merlin, have united to fight against the villainous alliance and protect their respective realms. I know it's a pretty simple premise, but I think it's the perfect that way.
.The franchise will have a major focus on action and adventure....which for a franchise like this, should be expected.
.Many of the characters will be receiving redesigns in the veins of the ones done for the franchise back in 2005, which give off a fantasy warrior, almost Dungeons n' Dragons vibe. While these wouldn't be to the extent as say, Disney Mirrorverse, they would clearly by different from the characters' usual attire and makes them come off as more like warriors ready for adventure and battle.
.The series will essentially expand on the worlds of the films and bring in elements from their original source materials, official continuations like the TV shows, and even the cultures they represent.
Okay, now that we got the major elements out of the way, I'm gonna briefly share who would be apart of the roster for this new franchise, and list them in chronological order of movie release.
.Alice
.Peter Pan
.Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip
.Merlin and Arthur
.Mowgli
.Robin Hood
.Ariel and Eric
.Belle and Beast
.Aladdin and Jasmine
.Simba
.Pocahontas and John Smith
.Quasimodo
.Hercules and Megara
.Fa Mulan and Li Shang
.Tarzan and Jane Porter
.Milo Thatch and Kida Nedakh
.Jim Hawkins
.Tiana and Naveen
.Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert
.Merida
.Anna and Elsa
.Moana and Maui
Just imagine.....seeing this iconic heroes going on various adventures, from the hottest deserts to the deepest jungles. Fighting against mythical monsters, thieves, wild beasts, villainous knights, deadly invaders, mysterious spirits and swashbuckling pirates!
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm planning to go more in-depth on this idea, fleshing out the characters and their worlds.
If you have any ideas for this franchise, let me know.

I finally watched Tarzan! Damn that movie has a lot of death in it. But the soundtrack was incredible and so was the animation. It's insane how expressive those animals were and how they got me to really care so much about the main character. I was like "noooo! You must accept him! Please!" 10/10 one of my new favorite movies

My Top 10 Most Brutal Disney Villain Deaths (In my Opinion):
1. Scar (Eaten alive by your own comrades.)
2. Frollo (Symbolically satisfying.)
3. Clayton (THE SHADOW MAKES IT WORSE!!!)
4. Dr. Facilier (Nice reprise of Friends on The Other Side, considering what’s gonna happen to him.)
5. Ursula (Seafood shish kebab, anyone?)
6. Syndrome (This is why Edna said NO CAPES!!)
7. Lyle Rourke (He got what he wanted, but not in the way he wanted.)
8. Gaston (No one falls to his death in the rain like you know who!)
9. Hopper (Guess this was very easy to see coming!)
10. Shan Yu (Talk about going out with a bang!)
Honorable Mentions:
Queen Grimhilde (Those vultures were there for a reason.)
Forte (If he changed back to a human when the curse was broken, I would NOT wanna see the results.)
Hades (At least he can say he deserved it.)
The Horned King (So THIS is why the movie had to have so much cut from it.)

Propaganda Under Cut:
Kala (Adoptive Mother of Tarzan): Recommended by yen-sids-tournament. Kala having lost her son in an attack then found a baby human whose parents too had been killed and decided to care for him as her own despite what her mate thought about the human baby. She raised and cared and protected Tarzan and taught him to be an ape.
Athena (Mother of Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista, Adrina + Ariel): Recommended by yen-sids-tournament. Beloved of her family. Her death devestated Triton and her daughters. She sacrifices herself to save Attina, her eldest daught whose tail was stuck between two rocks as they attempted to escape the pirate ship attacking them.

If the Disney characters actually got to be important in Kingdom Hearts: Part 2
Hey there folks! I'm back again with a continuation of my previous post "If the Disney characters actually got to be important in Kingdom Hearts: Part 1"
If you want to check that out first, here's the link to it below.
For this second part, we'll be focusing on Kingdom Hearts II given that it's a much bigger game than the previous two and I have a little more to talk about for this one.
All the elements I mentioned in the previous post for the versions of KH1 and Chain of Memories apply here as well and while story is mostly the same, there will be some notable changes.
So with that being said, let's get this started!
Note: So I actually just found out that Wendy wasn't one of the Princesses of Heart. So I guess in this AU, Peter would be just tagging along for vibes like Tarzan and Jack.
I also forgot to mention the looks of Abu, Zero and Tinker Bell in the last post, who would all be obviously accompanying the heroes on their journey.
As for what they would look like.
In Wonderland, they would be wearing Victorian attire.
In Olympus Coliseum, Abu would be a weasel, Zero would be a ghostly Molossian hound, and Tinker Bell would be a nymph.
In Deep Jungle; Abu would be a patas monkey, Zero would be a ghostly Basenji dog, and Tinker Bell would be an Aziza (which were a race of fairies from West African folklore).
In Agrabah; Zero would be a ghostly Canaan dog and Tinker Bell would be a mini Parī (a supernatural enitiy from Persian folklore that's pretty similar to a fairy).
In Halloween Town, Abu would be a golden Shiva monkey statue and Tinker Bell would be a ghost like Peter.
In Atlantica; Abu would an octopus, Zero would a ghostly sea lion, and Tinker Bell would like a mini mer-fairy of sorts.
And in Neverland, Abu would pretty much be the same except naked and Zero would also be the same as well.
The Mysterious Tower:
Tumblr media
For our second world, we see our first real major story change.
Upon arriving to The Mysterious Tower, our trio are not only greeted by Yen Sid, but also an old friend.
And who's that friend you may ask?
youtube
Yep! Tarzan is back!
Through Yen Sid, we find out that the trio's Disney friends have been frequently checking in with Yen Sid over the past year to see if they've returned yet.
I think this little reveal would really help show just how strong the friendship between these guys are in this version of the series.
And with that reveal, you can already expect Tarzan being over-joyed seeing his friends again after a whole year.
As you probably could tell by now, Tarzan will be joining the trio on their new adventure.
As for how he fights, he'll still be fighting with his trusty spear, slashing and wacking enemies with it.
Though similar to Aladdin, he's depicted as being more faster and agile in his fighting style than in the first game.
Plus he can use jungle herbs to perform Cure like in KH1.
Tarzan's Limit would be Jungle Fury.
The Limit would start with Lasso, where Tarzan pulls out a vine and lassoes it to something above. Then he grabs Sora and the two start swinging together.
The next part would be Swing Sync, which has Sora and Tarzan attacking enemies with kicks while swinging around.
The final part would be Simian Slam, which has Sora and Tarzan jumping from the vine and landing on the ground, delivering a powerful shockwave by slamming it with their Keyblade and spear respectively.
He'll also be sporting a new look too!
Tarzan's new outfit would be pulled right from this piece of fanart done by DNLnamek01.
Tumblr media
Back in the 2007, the dude did a series of fanart depicting various Disney characters (some already in Kingdom Hearts and others not yet) as Keyblade Wielders, complete with outfits similar to the original characters of Kingdom Hearts and the iconic Disney trio.
I really loved the looks he gave to the Disney characters and can I honestly imagine this is what they would look like if the series was allowed to go all-out with them.
Anyway, but before our trio meet up with their old friend, they run into an enemy....two in fact.
These enemies being Pete (of course) and, believe or not, Clayton.
Yeah! Clayton is back!
As for how, this is where things get interested.
Essentially, between KH I and II, Pete found that the power of the Heartless can be used to bring people back from the dead.
One of his earliest attempts with this newfound trick was in Deep Jungle, where he ended up reviving Clayton.
But not only that, but this revival essentially changed Clayton as well.
As it turns out, Heartless resurrection can actually turn those that it was used on into half-Heartless beings.
Not only that, but they also get new powers and abilities (often relating something about the individual before they died).
As for Clayton, his hunting skills have been enhanced to incredible levels.
This is largely thanks to him now possessing superhuman physicality (strength, speed and endurance) and his senses begin akin to that of an animal.
He also fights with a pair of machetes and several bolas.
This is what he looks like now.
Tumblr media
I can't figure out who did this drawing, but I really like how Clayton looks here.
If Clayton was turned into a more powerful and deadly version of himself, this is exactly how I'd imagine him looking.
You can also tell that his outfit not only greatly emphasize his status as a hunter, but also draws heavy inspiration from Kraven the Hunter.
Essentially, Pete and Clayton's plan is to reform the Council of Disney Villains, by resurrecting the original members (who are all dead.....except for Hades) and by recruiting new members (like Clayton).
And with how Clayton turned out, the duo figured that the Council would be even more powerful than before.
And by working together just like in the last game, no one would be able to beat them this time!
Yeah, this sounds pretty insane.
But let's be real, this Kingdom Hearts! It's basically the Regular Show of video games!
They're both convoluted, overly-ridiculous insanity....and that's why people love them so much.
And besides, you can't tell me this concept doesn't sound remotely cool.
And also, Pete and Clayton would definitely make a really fun duo.
Pete being his usual bumbling self and Clayton being the straight man through all this.
Radiant Garden:
Tumblr media
Nothing really to note about this world, except that there would be few more characters than initially featured.
Most notably Archimedes (returning from this AU's KH I) and Arthur (also from The Sword in the Stone).
Speaking of Arthur, this game takes place after the events of the film, so he's already the king of England.
But despite that, Merlin still tutors Arthur and is helping learn how to be a good king.
Arthur has also befriended the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee.
The most notable being Yuffie and Leon.
I'd imagine that Yuffie would see Arthur like a little brother (often teasing him) and Leon's been training Arthur in the way of the sword so he can one day wield Excalibur like a true king.
And although they're already in the original game, in this version; Huey, Dewey and Louie would be presented as new proteges under the tutelage of Merlin, as they want to follow in Donald's footsteps and become mages.
Also, we'd actually get to see Donald interacting with his nephews for once!
The Land of Dragons:
Tumblr media
Layout-wise, this world is largely the same as in the original.
And in terms of characters, we would see the addition of Cri-Kee and Chi-Fu, the emperor's bitch-ass advisor.
As for NPCs, we would see more soldiers of Li Shang's army, civilians in the Imperial Square, and even some animals including pandas, golden pheasants, water deers, red pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, crested ibises, takins, bats and giant salamanders.
As for world-specific enemies, it would be the soldiers of The Hun Army.
As for the character looks, excluding Mulan obviously...
Sora, Tarzan, Aladdin and Ariel would be wearing ancient Chinese civilian clothing.
Abu would be a snub-nosed monkey.
Zero would a ghostly Chow Chow dog.
Beast would be a xiezhi, which is a creature of a Chinese mythology.
(if you want to know more about it, Google is your friend)
Jack Sparrow would be dressed as like a ancient Chinese bandit, something along the lines of Heishan Bandits.
Donald and Jack Skellington would be dressed as wus, which were what shamans were known as back in ancient China.
Simba would be a tiger.
Goofy and Max would be dressed like ancient Chinese soldiers, not much different from Shang and his army
And Tron would be a living terracotta statue.
As for the story, it's largely the same as in the original game....until the second visit.
The story for the second visit would also be about Pete, Clayton and the newly-revived Maleficent resurrecting Shan Yu and recruiting into the Council
Speaking of Maleficent, now being a half-Heartless, she can now naturally manipulate magic without the use of her staff, making her even more powerful than before.
She can also morph parts of her body in dragon form, and when in her dragon form, can emit powerful fire and lightning from her body.
As for her new appearance, she would look something like this....
Tumblr media
As for their looks in this world....
Maleficent would be dressed as a wu, Pete would be dressed as a bandit like Sparrow, and Clayton would be dressed as an archer.
But going back to Shan Yu, in addition to now possessing superhuman strength and endurance, has the ability to duplicate himself, essentially making him a literal one-man army!
As for his new look....
Tumblr media
But other than that, the story does largely play out the same (with addition of Shan Yu aiding Storm Rider) and ends with Mulan and Mushu joining our heroes to stop The Organization and The Council of Villains.
Beast's Castle:
Tumblr media
Layout-wise, this world is largely the same.
The same can be said for the characters as well....with one exception, which we'll get to soon.
As for the character looks, minus Beast of course....
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Mulan, Max, Sparrow, Ariel, Aladdin and Skellington would be wearing 18th century French attire.
Abu would be a polecat.
Zero would a ghostly poodle.
Simba would be a lynx.
Mushu would still be a dragon, but would obviously have a more Western look.
And Tron would be a living bronze statue.
As for the story, it's mostly the same but with one key exception.
Xaldin wouldn't be the villain of this world, at least for the first visit.
Instead, his role would be given to....
youtube
Yep! Gaston would actually be present in this world like he was suppose to!
Oh yeah. For those who don't know, Gaston was originally intended to be in KH2 but was replaced with Xaldin.
This was because Richard White (Gaston's voice actor) wasn't available at the time.
Basically, he'll be doing the exact same thing Xaldin does during the first visit.
As for why. Essentially, he's doing it for The Organization, who told him that by making Beast look bad, Belle would end up falling for him instead.
But Gaston will meet his temporary demise after Shadow Stalker is defeated, who causes a chandelier to land on him.
For the second visit, Xaldin does step in and the story largely plays out the same.
Though he would be accompanied by Gaston.
Speaking of Gaston, he would be resurrected by The Council of Villains (who would all be wearing 18th century French attire, with Hayabusa being a kite).
As for his new look....
Tumblr media
And in terms of what he can do, he's pretty much like Clayton, with his physicality being enhanced to superhuman levels and his hunting prowess being stronger than ever before.
He also fights with his makeshift club from the film and whole lot of throwing knives.
In the boss fight against him and Xaldin, Gaston is fast and powerful, attacking with punches, kicks, charges, club swings, slams and knife throws.
However, he does have one trick up his sleeve that differentiates him from Clayton.
When enraged enough, he's able to transform into a powerful Heartless beast.
This beast would be none other than Enraged Elk from Kingdom Hearts X.
Tumblr media
You'll be fighting this form after you defeat Xaldin.
As for what it came do, it fights the same way Gaston does, but its attacks are far stronger and do more damage.
After defeating him, Gaston is whisked away in a cloud of darkness by the other Villains.
And so, our story here ends with Beast joining our heroes to ensure that The Organization, The Villains, or Gaston never dare to come to his castle ever again.
Olympus Coliseum:
Tumblr media
Not a whole lot to say for this world.
It's essentially the same both layout, character, and story-wise.
The only difference would be that Pain and Panic would actually talk and interact with the other characters.
Also, there would a sub-plot about The Villains trying to recruit Hades back into their group, which he was no interest in.
As for the characters looks....
We already know what Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Aladdin, Abu, Ariel, Skellington, Zero and Beast look like in this world.
Mulan and Max would be in Greek soldier attire like Goofy.
Sparrow would be dressed like the pirates commonly found on the ancient Mediterranean.
Tron would be a living marble statue.
And Simba....would actually be the same as he usually is.
Disney Castle and Timeless River:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not a whole lot to say for these worlds either.
They're the same in just about every way.
But there is one major difference.
You'll have a party member originating from the former world.
You all probably noticed that I frequently someone by the name of Max in this post.
And that's because Max Goof himself would actually be appearing in this version of the series and he'll be the party member joining you in Disney Castle.
This is what he'll look like....
Tumblr media
As for how he fights...
That was always a tricky thing to come up with.
I want him to be somewhat similar to his father's fighting style, but not an exact copy.
So essentially Max will be fighting with a sword and shield.
He'll slash at enemies with his sword, and bashing and hit them from afar with his shield.
He'll also slide on his shield like Goofy, but he'll be doing fighting tricks while doing so.
Max's Limit would be Daredevil.
The Limit would start with Alley Oop, where Sora hops on Max's shield and he pushes it, causing it to start sliding all over the place, with Max immediately jumping on right after.
The next part would Daring Duel, where he and Sora repeatedly deliver slashing whirlwinds with their sword and Keyblade respectively at enemies they slide towards.
The final part would be Bombardment, where the duo launch themselves into the air, and Sora then grabs Max, spin him around, and throw him to the ground below, unleashing a mighty shockwave in the process.
As for Max's status in the KH universe, he's one of the Royal Knights.
Yeah, it's pretty easy to forgot that Goofy is canonically the Captain of the Royal Knights of Disney Castle.
That's probably because we have yet to even see them.
So I figured in this version of series, since they can go all out on the crossover aspect, the Royal Knights would actually appear.
Characterization-wise, Max is what you would expect from him.
But there is one unique trait about him.
While he can get a little embarrassed by him, Max actually looks up to his dad and wants to follow in footsteps.
That's a trait rarely seen in most other iterations of the character.
As for his age, Max would be a teenager, about a year younger than Sora.
But during the story of Disney Castle, we'll also meet a few other members of the Royal Knights include Max's buddies PJ and Bobby, and his girlfriend Roxanne.
They would help our heroes with defending the Cornerstone from Maleficent and Pete, who would be accompanied by Clayton, Shan Yu and Gaston this time.
Also, there would a gag where when Pete and PJ run into each other, they have this sense of deja vu, as if they know each other from somewhere.
You know that scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where after finding out that Frank's one-night stand from 30 years ago was with his mom, Charlie slowly realizes that Frank could possibly be his real father.
Yeah it would be like that.
As for the character looks...
In Disney Castle, everyone pretty much looks the same as usually do.
But in Timeless River, as you would already expect, everyone would look like they right out of a classic black-and-white cartoon from the 1930s.
Though in the case of Mulan and Aladdin, without the racist caricatures.
Plus, you can't tell them you wouldn't kill to see Max in the classic Disney shorts style.
I swear he'd look like a Mini-Me of Goofy....more so than he already does.
Atlantica:
Tumblr media
Now we've come to undoubtedly the most infamous world in the game.
KH2's Atlantica is generally regarded as one of the worst worlds in the entire series.
This is largely because in contrast to the other worlds, you don't get to really explore the world itself of fight any enemies.
Instead, you stuck playing a dancing game for the entire time.
Which wouldn't be all that bad if it was all the world was.
But for this AU, Atlantica would be receiving a major overhaul.
First off, let's talk about the layout of the world.
The world would be split into two regions.
The first region is Atlantica itself, which consists of all the areas seen in the first game.
The second region is Eric's Kingdom, which would include the areas such as The Castle, The Beach, The Marketplace, The Town Square, The Countryside, The Lagoon and The Wedding Ship.
In terms of characters, we would see the addition of all six of Ariel's sisters, Grimsby, and Max.
As for NPCs and world-specific enemies, it's essentially the same as it was in the first game.
But in Eric's Kingdom, you can expect to see a lot of civilians walking about and a couple of animals such as ducks, flamingos, cranes, pelicans, swallows, crickets, frogs, and fireflies.
For the characters looks, similar to what Halloween Town does in this game, the characters will receive two different looks in this world (one while in Atlantica, one while in Eric's Kingdom).
For Atlantica; we already know how Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Aladdin, Abu, Skellington, Zero and Beast would look like.
But for the others:
Mulan would be a mermaid.
Mushu would be a tiny sea serpent.
Max would be a sea turtle like his dad.
Sparrow would be a joining Skellington as a skeletal pirate.
Simba would be joining Beast as a sea lion.
And Tron would be a living figurehead (those wooden mast carvings you commonly see on ships).
As for their looks in Eric's Kingdom:
Just about everyone would be wearing sailor attire commonly found during the 19th century.
Sparrow and Skellington would be still rocking the pirate look.
Abu would be a polecat again.
Mushu would be a snake.
Beast would be a brown bear.
Simba would be a lynx again.
And Tron would still be a figurehead.
As for the story, it's essentially the same as in the original game, but split in half, since just like all the other worlds, this one will have two visits.
The first visit is would see our heroes helping out Ariel. Just like in the original game and in her film, she desires to see the surface world, which has frequently brought her into conflict with King Triton.
But recently, Ariel discovered a magic recipe that can actually turn her into a human.
And so, our heroes find themselves on a scavenger hunt across Atlantica to the find the ingredients for this potion.
Speaking of Ariel, as you probably guess from how often I mentioned her in this post, she'll actually be a party member this time.
Just like in the first game, she's a mage party member, primarily attacking enemies with magic.
Just like with Donald, her magic has been juiced up.
She can use special potions are able to cast Fire (while on land), Blizzard, Thunder and Cure.
But when she runs out of MP, she'll attack enemies with spins, tail swipes (both only underwater) shoulder bag swings (while on land) that go in every kind of direction you can think of. Downward while in mid-air, uppercut, spiral, etc.
Her Limit is Raging Water (which she can only do on land and in the other worlds).
The Limit starts with Tidal Wave, where Ariel throws down a potion on the ground, which causes a massive wave to form beneath her and Sora.
The next part would be Waverider, which the duo ride on the wave, knocking down any enemies in their way.
While that's going on, Sora would perform Soak Shoot, where he shoots water at enemies with his Keyblade.
And finally, the Limit would end with Ocean's Rage, where after performing a backflip of sorts, the wave crashes down and washes away all enemies across the battlefield.
But back to the story, after getting everything they need, our heroes find out that the last ingredient is voice of the person who desires to become a human.
And thus, just like the movie, Ariel gives her voice for it to work.
As you would expect, Ariel is turned into a human, our heroes rush her to the surface, and she meets Eric, who, like in the movie, takes her into his home to help her out.
And the first visit would end on a cliffhanger of sorts, as we would see The Council of Villains arriving at Ursula's Lair.
As for their looks in this world.
Maleficent, Clayton, Shan Yu and Gaston would all be merpeople.
And Pete would be.....wait for it....

A CATFISH!
youtube
Okay, moving on....
For the second visit, we see our heroes (along with Flounder and Sebastian) trying to help the currently mute Ariel and Eric get together, which isn't gonna be easy with The Heartless running around.
By the way, the dancing segments will still be in the game, but they wouldn't be taking up the whole world this time.
However, we would see the removal of the goodbye song.
Instead, taking its place, would be "Kiss the Girl".
But just as it seems like the two teens are about get together, a new girl (bitch) named Vanessa appears and has Eric completely smitten.
And after hearing that they're gonna get married, Ariel is heartbroken and our heroes are left shocked.
However, they soon find out that something suspicious is going on here.
Thanks to Donald and Mushu, our heroes find out that Eric is under a spell and assume that Vanessa is the one responsible for it.
This eventually leads to our heroes crashing the wedding and exposing Vanessa for what she did.
And after breaking Eric from his spell, Vanessa reveals her true identity as none other than Ursula, who as you expect, was revived by The Council.
As for her new look....
Tumblr media
As for what she can do now, Ursula possesses the ability to shapeshift and she can use it in various ways. From changing her appearance to look like someone else (i.e. Vanessa), stretching her limbs (specifically her tentacles) to incredible lengths, and even being able to grow to incredible heights and sizes. And just like Maleficent, she can also naturally manipulate magic as well.
And soon enough, a boss fight erupts.
Yes, you heard me right. A boss fight.
You actually get to fight Ursula normally like the other villains in this game.
The setting for the boss is on the wrecked remains of the Wedding Ship in the middle of the ocean.
Just like in the movie, Ursula turns into a giant and uses her magic to conjure up a mighty storm.
Ursula attacks with swings from her tentacles, dark energy blasts from her hands, water sprouts she conjures up from under you, and bolts of Thunder she summons.
The coolest thing about this boss fight would be the ways you can attack Ursula.
You can attack her gut from the shipwreck.
Climb up her body and attack her ugly face.
And even head into the water below (going into your underwater form in the process), tie up her tentacles with a command, and attack them while their tied.
Anyway, after you defeat Ursula (with Eric stepping in to deliver the final blow), she's whisked away via a dark cloud by the Villains.
And so, our story ends with Ariel and Eric confirming their love for each other and Ariel joining our heroes for some payback.
Port Royal:
Tumblr media
Layout-wise, this world is largely the same.
As for characters, we would see the addition of Gibbs, Anamaria, Governor Weatherby Swann, Cotton, and Pintel and Ragetti.
As for NPCs, we would see plenty of civilians walking about Port Royal and a few tropical birds flying about.
As for world-specific enemies, we would have a lot more undead pirates.
As for the character looks, minus Sparrow....
Sora, Donald and Goofy would be receiving the looks they got in The Caribbean about 14 years earlier in this AU.
Just about all other non-animal members of the team would be wearing pirate attire as well.
Zero would pretty much be the same as he usually is.
Abu would be a capuchin monkey.
Mushu would still be a tiny sea serpent.
Beast would a giant howler monkey.
Simba would be a jaguar.
And Tron would still be a figurehead.
As for the story, it's largely the same until we get to the second visit.
After Barbossa died, he was revived by the Villains (who all be wearing pirate attire in this world) and decides to work with Luxord.
As for his new looks....he would be rocking the skeleton look that he had when he was under The Curse of the Aztec Gold.
As for what he can do now, just like when he was cursed, Barbossa is a skeleton that's nearly invulnerable.
But that's not all.
He can also control people by manipulating the blood in their bodies and create constructs out of blood.
Yeah, I made Barbossa into a fucking bloodbender!
Anyway, you would fight this Barbossa along Grim Reaper.
He would definitely be one of the harder bosses of the game, since he would be able to pick you up and throw you around.
He'll also attack with a blood cutlass, blood throwing knives, and blood cannons.
But anyway, after you defeat Barbossa, like the other villains, he'll be whisked away in a dark cloud and Jack decides to join our heroes to settle the score with him once and for all.
Agrabah:
Tumblr media
Layout-wise, there a few changes.
The world would be split into four regions.
The first region is Agrabah itself, which would consist of the areas seen in the first game.
The second region is The Palace, which consists of the areas from the first game as well
The third region is The Cave of Wonders, which consists of the areas seen in the OG KH2.
And the fourth region is The Desert, which consists of The Sandswept Ruins and Ruined Chamber, and a few more areas such as The Oasis and The Canyon.
As for characters, it brings back the same roster from the first game.
As for NPCs, we have the same selection from the first game as well, with the addition of a few more animals like elephants and falcons.
As for world-specific enemies, it would include the same batch from the first game, with the new addition of bandits, vultures and jackals.
As for the character looks, except Aladdin and Abu....
We already know what Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Ariel, Skellington, Zero and Beast are gonna look like.
But for the others:
Mulan and Max would be dressed as royal guards like Goofy.
Mushu would be a viper.
Sparrow would be dressed like an Arabian desert bandit.
Tron would a living golden Shiva statue.
And Simba....would pretty much look the same as he usually does.
As for the story, it's largely the same but with some notable alternations.
During the first visit, The Council of Villains would all be there to retrieve Jafar's lamp so they can free him.
As for their looks, they would all be wearing villainous Arabic attire.
Maleficent and Ursula would be dressed like viziers similar to Jafar.
And the rest would be dressed like bandits.
Anyway, in contrast to the original game, Jafar actually does get released from his lamp and you get to fight him during your first visit.
The boss fight is largely the same as it was in the original game, but with a few differences.
-You'll be accompanied by Aladdin and a party member of your choice for this fight, riding alongside you on The Magic Carpet.
-The Palace would have two massive pits full of elemental substances on each side. One being full of lava, and the other being full of icy water that'll freeze anything that comes even within an inch of it.
-Jafar will also attack with Blizzaga.
After you defeat Jafar, Iago grabs Jafar's lamp and throws it into the lava pit, killing him in the process.
And the story ends with The Council of Villains secretly reviving Jafar.
For the second visit, Aladdin and his pals have become a bit paranoid as they've been seeing Jafar popping up in random places despite being dead.
Soon enough, they get the word from Iago, The Sultan and Razoul that Jasmine has been kidnapped.
All the kidnapper left was a note saying that she's being held captive at The Sandswept Ruins.
This would led our heroes on a treacherous trek through The Desert and its areas.
Once they reach the Ruins, they find Jasmine, who reveals that she was kidnapped by Jafar.
As for his new look....
Tumblr media
As for what he can do now, just like Maleficent and Ursula, Jafar can naturally manipulate magic.
He primarily specializes in casting illusions and tricks, and also special element breaths as well.
Anyway, Jafar eventually reveals himself to our heroes and reveals that he kidnapped Jasmine in order to lure them all here so can have his revenge.
This would led to another boss fight against Jafar.
But in contrast to the first one, this one has you fight him in his giant cobra form!
He attacks with bites, charges, tail swipes, and even coil squeezes.
He also has a free tricks up his sleeves as well.
These include his elemental breaths (which come in Firaga, Blizzaga and Thundaga), slamming the ground and causing waves of pierce out of the ground, and even duplicating himself.
After defeating Jafar, you all know the drill by know.
Jafar is whisked away by the Villains and Aladdin joins our heroes for another adventure to stop him for good.
Halloween Town/Christmas Town:
Tumblr media
Layout-wise, this world is largely the same.
As for characters, the selection is also the same as well.
As for NPCs, also the same....for Halloween Town at least.
In Christmas Town, we would some elves, reindeer and snowmen walking about.
As for world-specific enemies, same as the first game.
Now for the looks of our heroes, minus Skellington and Zero obviously.....
We already now what Sora, Donald and Goofy were gonna look like in both regions.
For the characters who have already been to Halloween Town:
Tarzan would be a yeti.
Aladdin would be an elf.
Abu would be one of those cymbal-banging toy monkeys.
Ariel would be a ballerina.
And Beast would be a polar bear.
As for the others:
Mulan would a be ghost in HT, and a toy soldier in CT.
Mushu would still be a dragon in HT, and a stuffed toy dragon in CT.
Max would be a Frankenstein's monster and a reindeer like his dad.
Jack would be a skeletal pirate in HT, and an living iceman ala Jack Frost of sorts in CT.
Simba would be a zombified lion in HT, and a stuffed toy lion in CT.
And Tron would be a robotic monstrosity in HT, and a nutcracker in CT.
As for the story, it's largely the same except during the first visit.
Since the first visit is centered on Oogie Boogie being revived, he'll be getting his new look right away.
Speaking of that new look, this is what he looks like...
Tumblr media
(Yeah I know this was a redesign of his design from Disney Mirrorverse, but I think it could work for this universe as well)
As for what he can do now, he primarily moves around on what could be best described as a roulette wheel with spider legs.
In addition to using that to attack his enemies, he also a variety of gambling-themed weapons. This includes explosive dice, sharp poker cards that operate like throwing knives, and a roulette wheel launcher.
As for his boss fight, he attacks you with all those weapons.
On a unrelated note real quick, for the looks of The Council, they would actually look largely the same since their new looks do perfectly fit into the spooky theming of Halloween Town.
Once he's defeated, you know the deal.
But despite that, Oogie does still play a part in the second visit, as he's the one who sends Lock, Shock and Barrel to steal Jack's presents and The Experiment, the latter of which he pilots himself during the boss fight.
After defeating him again, he retreats back to the Council and Skellington decides to join our heroes to ensure he doesn't ruin anymore holidays.
Pride Lands:
Tumblr media
Layout-wise, largely the same.
As for character selection, we would see the addition of Zazu.
In terms of NPCs, we would have a few more lions and lionesses walking about at Pride Rock.
As for world-specific enemies, we would have hyenas.
As for the character looks, except Simba....
We already know what Sora, Donald and Goofy are gonna look like.
Tarzan would be a gorilla.
Aladdin would be a mongoose.
Abu would be a vervet monkey.
Ariel would be a crocodile.
Skellington would be a giraffe.
Zero would be a ghostly wild dog.
Beast would be a huge lion.
Mulan would be a monitor lizard.
Mushu would be a gecko.
Max would be a tortoise like his dad.
Sparrow would be a jackal.
And Tron would be a chimpanzee.
As for The Council.....
We already know what Pete's gonna look like.
Maleficent would be a giant monitor lizard.
Clayton would be a leopard.
Shan Yu would be a rhinoceros
Gaston would be a cape buffalo.
Barbossa would be a vulture.
Ursula would be a hippopotamus.
Jafar would be a big cobra.
And Oogie would be an elephant.
As for the story, it's largely the same until we get to the second visit.
Near the end of the story, Scar's ghost (who was awakened by The Council earlier) finally resurrects himself!
As for his new looks.....
Tumblr media
As for what he can do now.
In addition to being much stronger and faster than the average lion, Scar also possesses control over the very earth beneath his feet. He's also able to manipulate fire as well, which when mixed with his earth control, enables him to control lava.
You'll be fighting this new Scar alongside Groundshaker.
He attacks with claw slashes, bites, fire-shooting roars, brief earthquakes that can temporarily stun our heroes, and lava spouts that shoot out of the ground.
After you beat him, just like with the other villains and their respective nemesis, rinse and repeat.
Space Paranoids:
Tumblr media
I have very little to say for this world.
It's essentially the same in everyway.
The only difference would be in the case of the story, which would see Sark getting whisked away by the villains after you defeat him during the second visit
Speaking of Sark, he doesn't have any of sort of new look and essentially is able to what he did during his boss fight now.
As for the characters looks, except Tron....
We all know how Sora, Donald and Goofy are gonna look in this world, so their friends will be rocking the look as well.
The World That Never Was:
Tumblr media
Here we are! The final part of this entire post !
Although the story is largely the same here, there would be a brief sub-plot. Essentially, the Disney allies found out that The Council are here in this world, plotting to take control of the Kingdom Hearts when The Organization least expect it.
So the Disney allies decided to split off from our trio to handle The Council while they handle The Organization.
This would led to the series of boss battles where you actually get to play as each of the Disney allies in 1-on-1 battle against their respective nemesis.
Ass for how that plays out.
They have the same standard mechanics that Sora does.
As for how they fight.
The Attack Command allows you to use their standard attacks.
The Magic Command allows you to use their special, MP-costly attacks.
And The Drive Command allows you to perform each character's Limit.
The final boss of this sub-plot would be against Maleficent, with your primary character being Max while your two party members are of your own choice.
After defeating all the villains, they retreat (except for Barbossa, who just dies), vowing that they will be back soon and that they will have the Kingdom Hearts.
And that's the last we see of the Disney allies until the epilogue, where they reunite with the trio and the others on Destiny Islands.
So that was part 2 of the "If the Disney characters got to be important in Kingdom Hearts series"....series
This took a lot out of me to do, given how much bigger Kingdom Hearts II was in both content and story.
And I really had to make sure that the overall story was largely the same, while still keeping the Disney characters relatively important.
Anyway, I hope you guys liked this idea for an alternate KHII, and if you could, send me some ideas to implement for the other games!
