==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Jack's entry in ''Kingdom Hearts II'''s journal depicts him as the "Skeleton King", when ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' calls him the "Pumpkin King". The former is an incorrect title as in the original movie he is titled the "Pumpkin King". This error was remedied in ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix''.
*While correctly identified as the Pumpkin King, his title from his film of origin, in his Jiminy's Journal entries in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', his journal entry in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' erroneously calls him the "Skeleton King". This is rectified in ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]''.
*In the [[Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide|BradyGames Official Strategy Guide]] for ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Jack's weapon is incorrectly labeled as the [[Scimitar]].
