KH voice actor trivia quiz

Um... hi. Not sure where to put this. Not sure if this is even legal... but I've had this thing on my mind for a very long time and I wanted to share this with somebody. As a regular follower but incredibly infrequent poster here on KH-Vids, I thought this would be a good place to share this hugely nerdy trivia quiz I've had buzzing around in my head about the English-language voice actors of the KH series thus far. So... see which of these questions you can answer. There's no shame in hitting IMDB, this is just a little something I created to hopefully tickle the minds of some of my fellow Kingdom Hearts aficionados.





1) Several characters - either through being recast or for appearing at different ages throughout the series - have had their voice actors changed. Numerous characters have had two different actors, but how many characters can you name who have had three different actors? (hint: all involve both recasting AND different ages)

2) How many actors can you name who - within the KH series - have played both a Disney character AND a Square-Enix character? (For the purpose of this question, characters who debuted in KH games count as Square characters - even though, from a legal standpoint, they're Disney characters - because, come on, they're totally Square characters)

3) In what Disney worlds throughout the KH series has every single character who appeared been played by the actor who played them in the movie in which they debuted?

(Scroll down for major hints...)












1) There have been three such characters: two KH original, one Disney.

2) There are three such actors. One appeared only in KHI and BbS. One appeared only in KHII. The third has appeared throughout the series.

3) There is only one such world.

(Scroll down further for the answers)












1) The three characters are:

Kairi (Hayden Panettiere, Alyson Stoner, Ariel Winter)

Master Xehanort (Leonard Nimoy, David Gallagher, Ben Diskin)

Hercules (Sean Astin, Tate Donovan, Josh Keaton)



2) The three actors are:

Kathryn Beaumont (Alice and Wendy in KHI - roles she herself originally played in the early 1950s! - and Kairi's Grandma in BbS)

Crispin Freeman (Will Turner and Setzer, both in KHII - note that from the aforementioned "legal standpoint", he is the only actor in the series to have done so)

Corey Burton (too many Disney characters to list... but I'm listing them anyway: Captain Hook, the Doorknob, the White Rabbit, Flotsam and Jetsam, Yen Sid, Shan-Yu, the Peddler, Dale, Sark and the MCP, Santa Claus, Grumpy, the Magic Mirror, Frollo... and DiZ/Ansem, a role he has now played in twice as many titles as Christopher Lee has)



3) The world is...

Deep Space. Original Lilo and Stitch cast members Chris Sanders (the director of the film, who reprised his role as Stitch despite having left Disney to work at DreamWorks), David Ogden Stiers, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Zoe Caldwell, as well as Stitch! The Movie cast member Frank Welker, all returned. No recasting whatsoever; the only world in the entire series to bear that honor.



All right, I hope you enjoyed this pointless little quiz. Thank you for playing along.

Oh, and one last thing that didn't really work as a question: was anyone else aware that Ariel Winter (young Kairi) and Shanelle Gray (Larxene) are sisters? Sisters with a 20-year age difference, and unless I'm mistaken, they barely even knew each other at the time Shanelle became Ariel's legal guardian sometime (I think) last year, so their status as fellow KH cast members is probably just a coincidence. Isn't that wild?
