Disney owns all the leverage to where KH main series go but not spin-offs?

Soriku, ask her who pays for the development of the main KH games? Because if it's S-E, then no way are Disney in total control on which platform the games go.

Disney hired SE to make KH.  Disney owns all rights to everything within KH except for the Final Fantasy characters.  They hold the trademarks for Sora, Riku, Kairi, Heartless, any and all original locations, etc.  Basically, Disney can make Kingdom Hearts without Square but Square can't make Kingdom Hearts without Disney.  Disney already has made Kingdom Hearts without Square. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/924747.asp?q=kingdom%20hearts

Ah, cool. Thanks for that.
