Is Kingdom Hearts only popular because of the Disney characters?

You do team up with a character named TRON so it's not like it's that farfetched that that movie was the basis for that world.

 

Missed the part where I said I never heard of the movie before?

 

Stof, is the movie that good? It seemed kind of lame when I was playing through that part in KH2.. If the movie is good though, I guess it'd be something to see next weekend.

 

EDIT: C0rd, most Japanese people love Disney from what I've seen. Combine that with the RPG aspect of the game, and... why didn't it sell better in Japan?

1M+ is still pretty good sales for Japan, that only puts it behind RPG's like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy (not including handhelds) Can't think of any other RPG's that have sold more off the top of my head.

Keep in mind that Japan's population is roughly 1/3 of North America and the PS2 install base around 40% of NA.
