I don't understand what you mean in that part.  If my memory is correct, there were definitely 'animal only' lands in the first two games, and Sora (and the gang) never had animal forms (Lion King comes to mind)

Out of the 17 Walt Disney Animation Studios movies that have appeared as worlds in KH, the only one that featured non-anthropomorphic animals was The Lion King. For The Lion King world in KH2, they turned Sora into a lion cub, Goofy into a turtle, and Donald into a seagull if I remember correctly.  That tells me that Square Enix doesn't like to take the extra effort required to create animal character models for Sora, Goofy, and Donald. Not saying that it's impossible that another animal world will be in KH3, I just think it's less likely, considering the fact that they've only done 1 out of 17 so far.

That being said, I do hope to see Oliver and Company or The Great Mouse Detective in Kingdom Hearts someday.

Edit: Found a picture of the character models for the Lion King world in KH2:

Well shit.....I completely remembered that wrong.  Had to go watch a video of the boss fight with scar.  Im going to blame my shitty memory on SE for taking so long to release 3.

As a counter to that, Sora does stay a human in the Winnih the Pooh stages, so maybe SE can go that route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za8cjlkFCDQ
