Kearsley took inspiration from the anime ''{{w|Cowboy Bebop}}'' when writing Sora, Donald, and Goofy's interactions within the Gummi Ship, and used the music track "Patricide" from the film ''{{w|Gladiator (2000 film)|Gladiator}}'' when Riku is taken by the Darkside in the lamp chamber scene.<ref name=GamingUnion>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaO92mBdJNM Game Union interview with Seth Kearsley]</ref> | Kearsley took inspiration from the anime ''{{w|Cowboy Bebop}}'' when writing Sora, Donald, and Goofy's interactions within the Gummi Ship, and used the music track "Patricide" from the film ''{{w|Gladiator (2000 film)|Gladiator}}'' when Riku is taken by the Darkside in the lamp chamber scene.<ref name=GamingUnion>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaO92mBdJNM Game Union interview with Seth Kearsley]</ref> | ||
The pilot episode was well-received by test audiences, performing better than all of the other projects being tested at the time. However, Disney ultimately shelved the project as to not conflict with the release of future games. | The pilot episode was well-received by test audiences, performing better than all of the other projects being tested at the time.

Riku reasons that Sora qualifies as a "diamond in the rough", and the cave's guardian agrees, granting access to the group. Sora and Riku arrive at the lamp chamber and race up the stairs, with Riku tripping Sora and being the first to grab the lamp. As he does, his eyes suddenly go white and the room darkens. A dark portal "to the realm of the Heartless" appears, and a Darkside among several other Heartless start to come through. Sora insists that Riku put the lamp back, but a seemingly-possessed Riku responds that the power of the Heartless is both necessary to find Kairi, and too strong for Sora to defeat. He tells Sora that he is not a hero, but Sora steels his resolve and defiantly declares that he is one. He charges up the stairs, defeating several Heartless as he goes, and forcibly takes the lamp from Riku's hands. Riku frantically claims that he lost control upon touching the lamp, and begs Sora to believe him — but before Sora can respond, the Darkside grabs Riku and takes him through the dark portal before closing it. Sora places the lamp back on its pedestal and walks away. | Riku reasons that Sora qualifies as a "diamond in the rough", and the cave's guardian agrees, granting access to the group.
