Somehow this month marks the 20th Anniversary of Kingdom Hearts and I wanted to take a look back on why I love the series. Sure, it gets a lot of flack for being a bit confusing/convoluted, but what REALLY works about the series are the powerful internal journeys the characters go on. Spotlighting seven characters from throughout the series, let's take a look at their emotional journeys and why they work so well in their moments of catharsis, deep feeling, and relatability. Happy 20th, Kingdom Hearts!

The Emotional Power of Kingdom Hearts PART TWO is out now on YouTube featuring not just me and FilmOtter, but also awesome creators like SuperButterBuns, SarahKey, and more!
