Trivia
Ariel was originally meant to be a Princess of Heart, but in order for her to be captured by Maleficent, the story portion of Ursula giving her legs would have had to take place first. It was already too late in production to add this, so the producers chose Alice as a Princess of Heart, which garnered fan outrage, due to not staying true to the Disney Princesses. However, after finding out the troublesome production of the game, the fans forgave the game developers.

Goofs
When using the Gummi Ship for the first time, Goofy warns Sora that 'the Heartless ships often give us a hard time. However, he and Donald have only just learned who the Heartless are - leaving Traverse Town is their first Gummi Ship journey since then. Ergo, they have no way of knowing that these enemy ships are Heartless (except having just figured it out, but Goofy acts like it's common knowledge to them that these are Heartless).

Quotes
Kairi: So, suppose you get to another world. What would you do there?
Riku: Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?
Sora: I don't know.
Riku: Exactly. That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go.

Crazy credits
While the credits are rolling you see scenes of various Disney characters and characters from the game, including the "missing" characters of Riku and King Mickey. After the credits are finished you see Sora, Donald, and Goofy walking along a path wondering if they'll ever see Riku and King Mickey again.

Alternate versions
In keeping with Squaresoft tradition, the U.S. version contains additional features not found in the original Japanese release. These include three hyper-difficult bosses. An International version has been released in Japan entitled Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix.

Edited into Kingdom Hearts II (2005)

Beautiful

I did not have high hopes for this movie. I said that it could not be done and please RPG gamers like me, I said that this game would be a stain on the reputation of Squaresoft.

I was wrong.

This game is simply amazing. I loved seeing Aeris again, after she was killed in Final Fantasy 7. Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters compliment each other perfectly. The game plot, characters, animation and humor are perfect. If this entire game is not perfect, I have not a clue what is.

All gamers should play this game. It reignited my love for RPG's.
