In the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III, that tradition continues with a new adventure featuring Sora, Donald and Goofy as they travel to worlds inspired by Disney films including Frozen, Big Hero 6, Pirates of the Caribbean and others. In order to immerse the player in those worlds with those iconic and familiar characters, many of the stars who voice them have returned to voice those characters in the game.
