Former Disney CEO Admits He Forgot Why Kingdom Hearts Happened

It has been over twenty years since Kingdom Hearts changed how we look at crossovers, but the story behind its creation is still full of surprises. Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner recently shared that he has no memory of why he originally approved the project. Considering how massive the series has become, it is wild to think the man at the top does not recall giving the go ahead.

The collaboration between Disney and Square Enix felt like a massive risk back in the day. Many people questioned how Sora and friends would fit in with classic Disney icons. Since Eisner cannot remember the deal, the mystery of how this partnership actually started stays unsolved for now.

Fans of the series are finding the news pretty funny, especially since the franchise is now a huge part of pop culture history. Even without the CEO remembering the meeting, the series continues to thrive with a dedicated fan base. We are just glad someone said yes, even if they cannot remember why.
