Tetsuya Nomura has explained his approach to selecting Disney properties for Kingdom Hearts 4, choosing Pixar's Coco as one of the game's featured worlds. The director considers how each film's setting and themes align with Sora's journey, leading him to conclude that Coco would be an ideal fit for the narrative. The inclusion of Coco represents a deliberate creative decision rather than arbitrary licensing, with Sora's presence in the film's world suggesting meaningful integration into the overall story.
- Nomura employs a curated selection process for Disney worlds, prioritizing thematic and narrative compatibility with Sora's arc rather than simply featuring available properties.
- Coco's inclusion indicates the creative team continues blending Pixar properties with traditional Disney franchises in Kingdom Hearts 4.
