Kingdom Hearts

A fantastical game series that asks the questions what if your favorite Disney characters could interact with each other? Sora, a young boy from Destiny Island, gets separated from his home, his friends, and everything he has ever known. He joins forces with Donald and Goofy who are on a mission to find King Mickey and restore order to the worlds. The story is fun, energetic, and will appeal to all ages as families work their way through each realm: helping Alice while on trial in Wonderland, helping Ariel sing, and figuring out just how far you would go for your friends.
