Tetsuya Nomura revealed that trial models for the Toy Story and Monster's Inc. characters were at one point originally set to appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', with negotiations to have them appear before they were shelved.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "After KH2 was released, Pixar was purchased by Disney. Did this expand the range of worlds available for you to include in this title?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Actually, we did make a few trial models of characters from Monsters Inc and Toy Story during the production of KH2, and we did begin negotiations to have them appear in the game. We did have to shelve them in the end, but I felt I couldn't make KH3 without including Pixar works, so I started up negotiations again—and this time, the situation between Disney and Pixar had changed, and we were able to make it happen. After we had finished deciding all the worlds for this game, Disney and Pixar kept releasing fascinating titles. I found myself wishing over and over again that we could have included this and that."
