Jaq: Difference between revisions

Jaq's role in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' is directly based on his role in Walt Disney's film classic film, ''Cinderella'' (1950). The film was, in turn, inspired by the Charles Perrault fairy tale, ''Cendrillon'', which was published in 1697. In Perrault's tale, the mice were only included with the purpose of being turned into horses for Cinderella's carriage. For the film, the mice's roles were expanded, turning them into friends for Cinderella, and some of them were given distinct personalities; thus, Jaq became the lead mouse. Also, in the film, Jaq is constantly seen partnered with his best friend, Gus, a fatter and slower mouse who is equally as brave and loyal to Cinderella, despite this. Owing to the roles of Ven and Aqua in the game, Gus is absent.
