At an event, former Disney CEO Michael Eisner told reporter Stephen Totilo he did not recall approving the original Kingdom Hearts. Totilo said reminding Eisner the pitch was a Disney/Final Fantasy crossover in Tokyo only partially jogged his memory; former Disney exec Shuji Utsumi says he remembers pitching the game and Eisner replying 'Keep at it, and do it right.' The Kingdom Hearts I-III Collection is due in October and there is no release date for Kingdom Hearts IV.
