Origin
In the main Kingdom Hearts games, the player plays as Sora, a young boy who travels to various Disney-themed worlds with his companions Donald Duck and Goofy. In each world they visit, they are given new costumes and designs to fit the atmosphere of the world they're in. On February 10th, 2018, the Kingdom Hearts YouTube channel uploaded a new trailer for the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3, which showed the cast interacting with the cast from Disney-Pixar's Monsters Inc.

![For Pixar world, the desires that [the Monsters Inc. and Toy Story teams] had for their titles were really strong. We had a lot of guidelines to abide by in terms of how they appear. Comparing the two worlds, Monster's Inc. had more guidelines that we had to follow, and were a little more clear cut in the details. The coloration, for example, or whether a character only had one eye. When we took a look at those guidelines and figured out what we had to do, we felt that Donald should look this way and then Goofy should look this way. We also had a lot of input from the Pixar team that worked on Monsters Inc. We did pretty much follow their guidelines as well as their feedback for those characters](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/001/387/322/17d.png "Tetsuya Nomura's explanation")
