The trailer apparently shows what looks Simba as a Summon. That means that, next to Mickey, Donald and Goofy, Ariel and Simba are the only two Disney characters (thus far) to consistently appear in all three regular KH games, not counting all the in-between games.

^I'm hoping The Little Mermaid finally appears as a full-fledged fighting world again in KH4 (or whatever the next main title will be). I really want to battle a sky-high Ursula for once where you can actually move up and down and around like with these new bosses. And with underwater segments in the PotC world, hopefully they can perfect the controls and the community won't go nuts over swimming like they did after KH1. Sure, they'll have to smudge the plot all over the place to make it work, but I really couldn't care less about that at this point. Perhaps Ursula decides to destroy Eric's castle or something, that way we get to explore the on-land areas for once, too.

Anyway, I'm really excited for the game now (even though I'm irritated it's not coming out in December). Can't wait to finally get decent boss fights with all four Titans. Fingers crossed The Princess and the Frog will be one of the worlds right now. The environments would be pretty different from the rest of the worlds revealed so far, which is in its favor Somehow I can picture Inside Out appearing as a world... :/ I mean, it is one of the better Pixar movies, but we already have two of them in KH3, so I'm hoping against anymore.

Well, since certain Revival hits have been included, it's a pity that they didn't include Moana, since that world could've benefited the Disney Infinity treatment. The same with Brave.

Here are some of the logos for the worlds thus far:

Okay, I have some nitpicks with the choice of names for these. I have no problems with Monstropolis and Arendelle, but why The Caribbean? What's wrong with Port Royal? Also, Toy Box, to me, sounds pretty limiting, when it's pretty clear it goes beyond a kid's room - nay, beyond the kid's house - and goes into a toy store. And why couldn't said toy store be, say, Al's Toy Barn or whatever?

I saw the trailer. I just don’t care about Big Hero 6 in any sense, and it being in KH3 doesn’t change that. I'll update when a world I'm interested in is revealed.

I only care about Baymax and that's it. Sora fighting a dark Baymax is the only interesting thing to me about the world. I'm just shocked and bitter that Wreck-It Ralph somehow didn't make it, but I'm glad we at least have a summon.

Big Hero 6 is the most Japanese of the Disney canon films so I'm not surprised about its inclusion. I think for most people, Baymax really is the only memorable part of the film.

I hope Mandy Moore does appear as Rapunzel; I wonder why she wouldn't considering she came back for the TV series. It would be a little funny though, only because she already appeared in KH one time before, just not as her Disney character.

I hope they at least make Sora in his early-to-mid-20s or so, because Osment turned 30(!) a few months ago. In my opinion, that's getting pretty old for a youth.

I believe Sora is 17 or 18 in KH3.

Well, I hope it's no younger than 18, preferably 19 (or better yet, 20). Also missing is information on Riku, but chances are he will again be voiced by David Gallagher, if his Wikipedia article is any indication. He's about 33 now!

Personally, I hope they both continue to voice the characters as long as the series goes on. I don't have a problem with their voice acting or the characters being in their teens in perpetuity. Idina was 40+ when she voiced Elsa.

@Sotiris: Yeah, I read about that earlier. I thought it was very lucky they got her to come back at all, I would've never expected she'd write two songs for Square Enix. I'm happy, although I would've loved a faster remix of "Don't Think Twice."

The main difference between "Kingdom Hearts" and "Frozen" is that "KH" started in 2002, 16 years ago, whereas "Frozen" debuted in 2013, only five years ago. So the characters literally grew up with their actors (not just in the non-Japanese version, but the Japanese as well). They keep telling us the ages of these characters, and I would think that the actors' ages should be roughly consistent with their characters (kind of like "Harry Potter").
