How many Disney fans do we have in the audience?
How many Square fans do we have here?
I think we all know what's coming next...
Now hold on, let me explain something though, you know...
One of my goals also, when creating Video Games Live,
is I wanted to help usher in
a whole new generation of you people
to appreciate the arts and to appreciate the symphonies,
so wherever we go, all over the world, you know,
a lot of people, especially younger people,
are seeing a symphony for the very first time,
so it's really cool.
This is not a new concept though, in fact one of my heroes, Walt Disney,
was doing this kind of stuff over 75 years ago.
Anyone seen the movie Fantasia?
In Fantasia, Walt Disney took classical, traditional classical music,
And he put it to animation and cartoons in order to, you know, bring symphonic music to young people,
so, a very similar thing to what we're doing, so I thought what I would to was something special.
We're going to play the music to this video game but I got together with the Walt Disney Company,
to put together a video that is all of the Disney Characters that appear in this video game,
except the way they appeared in their original Disney Film format, so
pay a little homage to our heroes and kind of do a little twist on what Walt Disney did so many years ago.
So, I hope you enjoy this, this is the music
to Kingdom Hearts!
