The series, which is a big crossover with Disney, follows the main character, Sora, and has appearances of many Disney characters, such as Donald Duck and Goofy. Characters from Final Fantasy, another franchise from Square Enix, make appearances as well. Each world seen in the game has a specific theme that directly correlates to Disney, like Halloween Town from The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is one of the many worlds included in the first game in the series, Kingdom Hearts.
