Kingdom Hearts anime series officially in development for Disney Plus

At its biannual D23 convention, Disney confirmed that Kingdom Hearts — the beloved collision of Square Enix mythology and Disney iconography that has quietly crossed the billion-dollar mark — is expanding into anime on Disney Plus. The announcement arrived as little more than a promise: a piece of teaser art, a familiar face, and the weight of a franchise too profitable to leave confined to a single medium. It is a reminder that in the modern entertainment economy, a story does not truly exist until it exists everywhere.
